Understanding How Air Conditioning Systems Work
An air conditioning system consists of two parts: the outdoor unit (condenser), and the indoor unit (evaporator coil). Your air conditioning system's outdoor unit is usually positioned away from living areas due to appearance or noise concerns. This outdoor unit removes heat from your living space via the evaporator coil and releases it outside. Inside the condenser, you'll find three main parts: a fan, condenser coil, and compressor working together to keep your Toronto home comfortable. Heat from inside your home is absorbed through the refrigerant lines, making its way to the outdoor unit. The compressor pressurizes this superheated gas and pushes it through the condenser coil outside. As pressurized refrigerant moves through the condenser coil, the outdoor fan pulls outside air across these coils, cooling the refrigerant. The cooled refrigerant then returns indoors to repeat this process, maintaining consistent comfort throughout your home.
At Laird & Son, our four generations of family experience have taught us the importance of proper installation techniques plus maintenance are crucial for your system to work properly and efficiently.

Humidity Is A Factor
One thing to consider when keeping your home cool in summer is humidity levels. An air conditioning system removes excess humidity from your home's interior air to make it more comfortable. This excess humidity can tax your air conditioning components and affect efficiency, especially during summer months. Continue reading to learn how you can decrease humidity in your home to ensure it stays comfortably cool.
Humidity Levels and Air Conditioning Systems
When an air conditioning system works properly, it removes both heat and moisture from your home's interior, creating a comfortable environment that is cool and dry. If enough humidity and heat aren't removed, your comfort level may not be achieved, even if you lower the temperature setting.
When humidity levels are high, your air conditioning system must work harder to maintain comfortable cool temperatures. If your system is old, or sized wrong, it may not properly cool your home. Your home will also feel warmer because excess moisture isn't being removed.
Your central air conditioning system will work harder in longer intervals. When your system must work harder, utility bills increase and the unit experiences more wear and tear. For over 75 years, Laird & Son has helped Toronto homeowners optimize their cooling systems for maximum comfort and efficiency.

Proper AC Sizing and Moisture Control Tips
It should be noted that a larger air conditioning system will not produce any better cooling effects. In theory it can transfer the heat faster, but the conditions may remain uncomfortable due to higher humidity in the home. This is why your central air conditioning unit must be properly sized by a professional.
If your central air conditioning system is noticeably not achieving its potential, you will likely find excess humidity in your household. Some of the signs of excess moisture in the home include: when the air inside your home feels damp, and your home smells musty. If you are experiencing any of these indicators, you should take action.
Not Just AnOTHER Air conditioning Company in Toronto...
One of the most reliable and efficient ways to reduce humidity in your home is installing a dehumidifier on your heating and cooling system. The dehumidifier works with your air conditioning unit to remove excess moisture from the air before cool air circulates through your home's ductwork. Adding a dehumidifier to your HVAC system provides the best approach to properly control humidity levels and temperature throughout your residence.
