Q: Do you have to put water in a portable air conditioner?

• <div><p>Not if you have a standard unit. Because portable AC units actually work to dehumidify the room, you&rsquo;ll likely need to drain the unit from time to time&mdash;but you won&rsquo;t have to put water into it. There is, however, another type of air conditioner called a swamp cooler that requires water to operate. If you have a swamp cooler, you may need to fill a reservoir with water and potentially ice. But a swamp cooler is different from a standard portable AC unit.</p></div>

Q: What does it mean to “recharge” my home air conditioning unit?

• <div><p>When your HVAC technician mentions recharging your home AC unit, they&rsquo;re referring to the process of topping off the unit with refrigerant, so the levels are properly maintained and pressurized. Normally, a properly functioning AC unit doesn&rsquo;t need additional refrigerant, but AC units can develop leaks or other problems that decrease the amount of refrigerant needed.</p></div>

Q: Are zoned HVAC systems worth it?

• <div><p>Zoned HVAC systems can be worth it for some homeowners, even with the added <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/insider-s-price-guide-new-heating-and-cooling-system.htm">HVAC replacement costs</a>, because they offer tremendous benefits. Zoned HVAC may offer greater stability and efficiency if your home has multiple levels and experiences constant temperature fluctuations. However, even smaller homes without major fluctuations can benefit since zoned HVAC systems can adjust their temperature more quickly by heating and cooling only the spaces you need.</p></div>

Q: Should my HVAC damper be open or closed?

• <div><p>Whether an HVAC damper should be open or closed depends on the season, the zone it controls, and the temperature in that zone. In the summer, open upstairs dampers and close lower-level dampers to get the most efficient cooling possible. In the winter, do the opposite. Cool air will naturally flow down to lower levels, while warm air will rise. This keeps your system from working harder and helps prevent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/troubleshooting-common-air-conditioning-problems.htm">common AC problems</a>.</p></div>

Q: How do I dispose of air conditioner coils?

• <div><p>Both evaporator coils and condenser coils are recyclable and contain valuable, sellable metals such as copper and aluminum. Not only is it more earth-friendly to take them to a local metal recycling facility, but you can also trade them in for cash. Also, once the coils are removed from the system, they won&rsquo;t have any traces of refrigerant, so you won&rsquo;t have to arrange for recycling Freon or R-410A unless you&rsquo;re disposing of the entire AC system.</p></div>

Majano Heating and AC came out on schedule. They found that the AC breaker had tripped, and guessed that this was caused by the compressor going bad. I felt stupid for not checking the breaker myself. They charged me $60 for a call-out fee, which I suppose is about average. They also quoted a...
