2. Brief Description

Air conditioning is the treatment of air in terms of dehumidification, cooling, cleaning and circulation up to specific standards to provide thermal comfort in indoor areas like living rooms, theatres and vehicle interiors. An air conditioner (AC) is the tool used to provide air conditioning. Air conditioners use the concept of the refrigeration cycle and in some cases evaporation.

Air conditioners range from simple mobile room corner, wall or ceiling units to massive complex and permanent automatic building systems. The simple and portable in-house units can be purchased off-the-shelf by anyone while the more complex units and installed by qualified personnel and engineers owing to their capacity, size and intensive, sensitive automatic control mechanisms with sophisticated cable control and remote systems. Several of these run for as long as they can last without being switched off, for switching them off would in some cases lead to loss of life.

3. The Parts

Air conditioning parts include ducts, fans, cooling and heating elements, motors, blower wheels, belts, pulleys, caps, circuit boards, timers, wave guides as well as covers. Other basic parts include grease shields, curtains, window fillers, defrost components, vents, gaskets, bearings, drip pans and drip bowls. For proper running and functionality, drum seals, grills, guards, kick plates, valves, heating elements, hoses and drains are a necessity. Other important parts include grates, knobs, buttons, dials, casters, leveling legs, light bulbs, lenses, nuts, bolts, washers, clips as well as screws. Panels, sensors, springs, pads, burners, switches, tab springs, brackets, flanges and thermostats are also important features of an air conditioner. Thermal fuses, filters and other parts are necessary for circulation movement. Other parts are also used for temperature and humidity control as well as cleanliness of the air. These parts differ in size and shape depending on the type of model of the air conditioning system.

Some companies and air conditioner contractors offer specialized parts and services like for automotive air conditioning. Others offer general and across- the-board parts and services. In any case they should offer full ranges of equipment, consumables, tools and parts. These parts should be accompanied by full training and technical advice for air conditioner repair and maintenance. Some good and recommended common brand names for AC parts include Admiral, Airtemp, Amana, Caloric, Climatrol, Emerson, Fedders, Frigidaire, GE, Gibson, Haier, Hampton Bay, Hotpoint, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Kitchen Aid, LG, Magic Chef, Montgomery Wards, RCA, Roper and Sharp.

4. Searching for AC Parts Online

While looking for online stores, it is advisable to be careful as some companies provide long air conditioning catalogues and inventories in their ‘virtual’ warehouses, which in reality do not exist. They simply purchase from other companies and increase the price. Genuine companies invite consumers to their stores and offer same day or overnight shipping for orders made. The best sites allow users to search for air conditioning parts using model numbers and pictures, enabling the user to easily identify the right AC model and right part. Some also have e-mail and customer services that the user can call for enquiries and advice.
