1. Design and type of ductwork- If the ducts arent sized
and balanced properly, the home will never be comfortable.
Externally insulated round ducts are the most efficient; long
runs of flexible duct are the worst.

2. The refrigerant-Refrigerant is a compound that readily

absorbs heat from the environment and can provide
refrigeration or air conditioning when combined with other
components such as compressors and evaporators. For
example- R-22 and R-410A.

3. Balance dampers in the ductwork- The worst and

noisiest place to adjust the amount of heating and cooling
coming into a room is at the diffuser grille where balance
dampers should be installed.
 4. Location of the outdoor unit - The worst places to
locate outdoor (condensing) units are where they can be
seen and heard, such as outside a bedroom window;
where they can be easily damaged; or under the edge of
an un-guttered roof.

5. Location of the indoor unit - Attic-mounted

furnaces will eventually leak and cause ceiling damage,
unless you take special design precautions, such as a
secondary condensate pan and drain line to the exterior.

6. A filter dryer - Installing a filter-dryer in an air-

conditioner liquid line (the smaller one) always
extends the compressor life by removing damaging
moisture and any grit.
 7. The condenser (outside) coil type - Coils that are made
of a single metal (such as aluminum coil and aluminum fins or a
copper coil and copper fins) last longer and hold their efficiency
better.

8. Efficiency - The efficiency of air conditioners is often rated by

the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). The SEER rating of a
unit is the cooling output during a typical cooling-season divided
by the total electric energy input during the same period. The
higher the unit's SEER rating the more energy efficient it is.

9. Air-filter location - Air filters should be located where they

are easy for the homeowner to reach. The filters should be
replaced about every three to four months.
