Air conditioning in Westminster, CO
Cool air through every room of your home, from AC installation and repair to ductless mini splits.
The short answer
Air conditioning is the equipment that cools your home through Colorado summers. Colorado Eco-Mechanical in Westminster, CO handles AC installation and replacement, repair and maintenance, filter replacements, air handler and evaporator coil services, and refrigerant leak repair. Ductless mini split systems are also offered for rooms without ductwork.
How the job works
What does air conditioning involve?
A central air conditioner has two main parts. The outdoor condenser sits on a pad beside the house. The air handler and evaporator coil sit indoors, in a closet, basement or attic. Refrigerant lines and a drain line connect them, and ducts carry the cooled air to your rooms.
Most calls start with how the system runs: airflow at the vents, the condition of the filter, ice on the coil, and the temperature drop across it. Those readings point to the cause, whether a dirty coil, a refrigerant leak, a worn part, or a unit too old to keep repairing.
For a replacement, the new equipment has to match your home's size and ductwork. Where there are no ducts, a ductless mini split puts a small indoor unit high on the wall of the room it cools.
- Check the systemYour technician looks at the thermostat, filter, vents, indoor coil and outdoor unit to see how the system runs.
- Find the causePressure and temperature readings show whether the problem is airflow, refrigerant, an electrical part, or a clogged drain.
- Explain your optionsYou hear what repair, maintenance or replacement would involve before any work begins.
- Do the work and testThe repair or installation is finished, then the system runs to confirm cold air comes out of the vents.
When to call
When should you call about air conditioning?
These signs usually mean the system needs a look before the next hot stretch.
- Warm air from the ventsThe fan runs and the thermostat is set low, but the air coming out feels room temperature or warmer.
- Ice on the refrigerant lineFrost on the copper line or the indoor coil points to restricted airflow or low refrigerant.
- Water near the indoor unitA puddle under the air handler often means a clogged condensate drain or a frozen coil melting.
- Hissing or bubbling soundsThese noises near the coil or lines can signal a refrigerant leak.
- Higher summer electric billsIf the system runs longer than it used to and the house still feels warm, something is wearing out.
