When your compressor dies, it often means the AC must be fully replaced. However, there are several options to consider depending on the situation. Let’s take a closer look at what a broken compressor means for your AC and the choices you have as a homeowner.

Monday, June 12th, 2023

Do you know how your air conditioning in Campbell River, BC cools the air in your house? If you know a bit about HVAC, then you’ll probably answer that it’s because of the refrigerant inside the air conditioner. When you go and stand by the outdoor condenser unit while the AC is running, you’ll feel hot air coming out of it, and that seems to indicate that the air conditioner is pushing heat outside of your home.

This is generally correct. Now, what job does water play in the AC cooling the house? This might make you think for a second. You hear water dripping inside the air conditioner at times, and water can lower the temperature of air. But does water have anything to do with how an AC cools the air?

The answer is no it doesn’t

Which brings us to the question in the title: if an AC doesn’t use water to cool the air, why are you seeing water dripping out of the AC?

We often recommend tankless water heaters to customers. These alternatives to the standard water heater that uses a tank have numerous advantages:

  • They consume less energy
  • They have longer service lives
  • They take up much less space
  • They provide unlimited hot water

Except … we want to talk about that last point a bit. It is a major selling point for tankless water heaters, but it can also give people the wrong impression. It’s perhaps better to say that a tankless water heater won’t run out of hot water. This might sound like the same as saying limitless, but not exactly. It’s a description that better explains how a water heater works.
