Airing Their Differences: A/C Hardware and Design Morrow GA

You've heard the old adage, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." But that's not necessarily true with today's air conditioning hardware and design. There's more to A/C than just cool air and vents, and it's important you know this if you want your techs to be A/C proficient and your shop to be profitable.

There's more to A/C than just cool air and vents, and it's important you know this if you want your techs to be A/C proficient and your shop to be profitable.

Where do you start? By understanding basic system design differences and by familiarizing yourself and your technicians with the principle features of electronic climate control and new system function and control. With that knowledge, you can better understand the troubleshooting approaches to various systems, some of which are provided in this article.

The Components
