CLEARWATER AIR CONDITIONING 

Frequently Asked Questions   

Clearwater Air Conditioning:  The questions Graham HVAC of Clearwater and Tampa Bay field from air conditioning customers range in subject from heating to cooling to proper maintenance and more.  Read below to find answers to some common concerns and call us for assistance with installation and service.

I have yet to experience a breakdown with my air conditioning unit.  How do I know if routine maintenance is worth the investment?  If your car continues running, will you refuse to ever change the oil?  It is a sound comparison.  Your unit may run well now, but if the filter clogs or the ducts become gummed up with debris, expect to shell out more money than you believed possible.  Take care of your investment, and it will take care of you.

  1. No one changes filters monthly, do they?  Yes, they do.  Become one of them!

  2. Is it harmful to continually turn my heater on and off?  It is not necessarily harmful, but it does require the Clearwater air conditioning system to work harder.  It is switching gears constantly in this situation.  Keep in mind that a properly maintained unit should do fine.

  3. Can I use any refrigerant as a coolant?  No.  If your unit is geared to accept Freon, that is what it requires.  Keep in mind that due to the Freon phase-out, it is not economical to purchase a new system that requires the substance.  Instead, look for a high efficiency unit that runs on an environmentally-friendly refrigerant like Puron.

  4. What’s the big deal about a name brand system from a company like Carrier?  The name “Carrier” denotes innovation.  The company invented Puron, and they are constantly looking for new and improved ways to keep us comfortable while saving us money.  Plenty of parts are available for their systems, and technicians trained specifically to service the units exist at Graham AC.
Our staff believes in educating the public about HVAC systems.
