Some of the things that determine air conditioning capacity in Arizona include, but are not limited to: your area’s unique climate, monsoon humidity, number of windows, their location, and their NFRC rating, ceiling and wall insulation factors, which direction your home is facing, how much heat your appliances produce, how high your ceilings are, if you have a basement, if you have proper attic ventilation, the location of trees on your property, and even the number of people who occupy the home.
If a heat exchanger cracks or contains holes, leaks can release carbon monoxide into your home. Carbon monoxide is nearly impossible for humans to detect on their own due to its characteristics of being colorless and odorless. Because of this, it is referred to as “The Silent Killer”. Some symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea and vomiting. It is extremely important to have a HVAC technician perform a furnace inspection annually to prevent problems such as carbon monoxide poisoning. UGI Heating, Cooling & Plumbing offers yearly maintenance packages and service agreements that include yearly maintenance and furnace inspections.
