Air Conditioning Basics
The four main components to your air conditioner are:
Condenser: The condenser is the outside metal unit and where the gas from the compressor is condensed into a liquid. The gas entering the condenser is very hot. The temperature is then lowered, so the gas can convert back to a liquid.
Compressor: The compressor is inside the condenser. It circulates the pressurized refrigerant, to concentrate the heat, and changes the low pressure gas to high pressure.
Evaporator: The evaporator is the part of the system inside the home. In simple language, it absorbs the heat from your home.
Expansion Valve: The expansion valve controls the amount of refrigerant in your system.
All of these pieces are connected by a copper tube that handles refrigerant, creating a closed loop. Heat is collected in the evaporator, sent outside to the condenser. The heat is removed, and the cool air is recirculated back into your home.
AC Facts
An Air Conditioner Doesn’t Create Cool Air.
What happens in the AC process is actually the removal of heat from the air. Your AC uses a chemical called refrigerant to remove heat and transfer it outside. The warm air runs through the lines and coils in your unit and goes from liquid to gas and back again. During this process, the refrigerant removes the heat and transfers it elsewhere so that when the air comes out the other side, it is cool.
Your AC Will Remove Humidity.
Lower humidity helps the overall comfort level in your home by making you feel cooler, even if the temperature is the same.
Your Air Filter Needs To Be Checked And Replaced Every Three To Six Months.
(depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations)
A dirty air filter restricts your air flow, which reduces efficiency, costing you money, and over time can put stress on your unit and could cause a costly repair.
Maintenance, Maintenance, Maintenance.
Your air conditioner needs regular checkups to keep it running in tip-top shape. Having regular annual preventative maintenance will bring your system longer life and fewer breakdowns over all.
SEER
The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) measures air conditioning and heat pump cooling efficiency, which is calculated by the cooling output for a typical cooling season divided by the total electric energy input during the same time frame. A higher SEER rating means greater energy efficiency.
At AA-Air Company, we provide all the services you need to keep your AC running in top-notch shape. Call us at 865-213-1354 for repairs, maintenance, or new-system installation.

Air Conditioner Maintenance in Farragut, TN, 37934
“Had the routine inspection service for my 2 AC units performed in late April. Came back from travel this week (5/23) and found the the downstairs unit hadn't been running for some time (temp well above setpoint on t-stat). Inspected the unit and found the blower cabinet door was sitting in place but not latched. Observed electrical tape had been used on the interlock switch so the unit ran following the inspection visit. All stopped when the tape let go. I put the cabinet door in place and latched it – system op resumed. The initial installation was very good as have subsequent maintenance checks over the years. This was not the expected quality service I paid for…”

“Our air conditioner was not working, and tech Steve was sent over to take a look at it. He was EXTREMELY thorough, and it was evident that he knew what he was doing. He quickly diagnosed the problem and got our air conditioner back up and running. For all our future maintenance, Steve is the one we will ask for.”

“Outstanding service from Chris, Kriegh, Pat, Shane and Matt. They were all extremely professional, courteous, knowledgeable, respectful and they explained the entire process. It was a 12-13 hour difficult job, with hours spent in the crawl space on a hot summer day. The owner, Donna, even made an impromptu visit. I would highly recommend this company for any AC needs. Where was Jordan? (An employee joke)”

“Kreigh was the best technician I've ever had in my home. He is naturally very courteous, very competent, highly efficient. I suggest you put him on the board of directors, if you have one. I think you have the most competent staff I've seen, to include Rob in dispatching. I suggest a substantial raise in salary for both”

“We recently had an air/heat unit installed by AA-Air and was pleased with the service from beginning to end. The work was done in a timely manner and the outcome was wonderful. Everyone we dealt with was courteous and helpful. Erin made sure the unit was working correctly and was so helpful in making sure we knew how to get the most out of using the thermostat. I’ve used AA in the past and will continue to use them in the future. Thanks AA-Air!”

“From the first encounter with AA-Air Co, it has been a pleasure working with this company. The entire staff has been wonderful!! Chris ? came out and inspected our old unit and was honest about what was wrong with it. Then Donna came to do the paperwork to get the installation process started. This was all done over the weekend and above and beyond what we expected for this to be done on a holiday weekend.the installers, Patrick and Shane were super!!! They arrived early and got right to work! After they installed all the components, they showed us how they worked, and even cleaned up the small mess that was created!! It was a great experience all around dealing with this company and I highly recommend their services!!!”
