Changing from a Free-Cooling Ac System to a Heated AC System is an important step in winterizing your car. In this article, we will tell you how to switch from a Free-Cooling Ac System to a Heated AC System.
When it comes to changing out your air conditioning system, there are two main parts: the evaporator and condenser. The evaporator is what cools your car. The condenser is what stores the heat gained from the cooling system.
Ac systems have three parts: the evaporator, compressor, and motor. When installing a new system, the motor must be removed and checked for damage. The capacitor must be changed out and checked for damage.

Pick your temperature setting
When you have a fireplace, there are two ways to switch from air to heat. You can pick either automatic or manual temperature setting.
Automatic fireplaces feature a controller that knows your distance from the fireplace and how much heat you need. The controller automatically determines the right heat temperature for your surroundings!
In contrast, manual fireplaces require you to manually control the temperature. This can be accomplished by putting in an oven-safe pan and dialing in the warmth you want.
Either way, both methods work the same. You can pick which one feels more comfortable for you!
To use either method, you must first learn how to control the heat setting of your fire.
Choose your new temperature setting
When you turn on your A/C, you may be asked to choose a new temperature setting. This is called switching the temperatuure setting or choosing a new temperature mode.
Switching the temperature setting is very important when choosing A/C. There are three modes: cool, cool withFan, or warm. These vary in how much heat they produce, how high they operate, and what settings they have.
Having the wrong temperature setting can cost you money. If you are walking outside in winter and do not want to freeze off your feet, then having a warm mode is your solution.
But if you wanted to chill your home even more, having a cool mode would be better than no mode at all. Having both a warm and cool mode can save you from having to pay for both monthly maintenance contracts or switching brands to get the new modes.
Buy a new heating or air conditioning unit
As mentioned before, if you have a cooling unit that you are using with your windows and doors, it is possible to switch out the units. There are several companies that offer this as an easy fix.
If you are having trouble keeping your new unit in position via the remote, there are several companies that offer quick-install kits to re-position the unit. Still need help? Ask your question!
Otherwise, buy a new unit. They cost less than $100 and can be bought from online or offline sources. Most cost about $150+ due to quality of packaging and manufacturing.
Either way, get out there and try them out! You will be surprised at how easy it is to switch units and make sure you are happy with your purchase.
Have your old unit repaired
If your old heating system has failed, you should have it repaired. There are several places that can repair your system including your local hardware or appliance store, a heating company, or a furnace technician.
Replace the thermostat and/or control valve on the system to switch from heat to AC mode. This requires removing and replacing the walls, floor, and ceiling panels.
Stop by your local heating company and ask if they can replace the valves and thermostat for an inexpensive cost. Most will agree!
Have an A/C unit checked by a technician if you do not have a programmable one.
Swap out your old unit for a new one
When your old unit starts to show signs of strain, it is time to replace it. These include having to take care of elements such as battery status and chip charge, cleaning your unit frequently, and paying for new equipment if the old unit is no longer available.
For example, after several years of usage, the screen might look faded and not function as well as it used to. Or the unit may have outgrown the mattress it uses and needs a new one.
Buying a new heating/cooling system together with a mattress is possible, however you will need to purchase a new frame and bed base. It is also recommended that you buy a new unit on your next big update of the mattress model because things can change over time.
Pay attention to whether you actually need the heat or air conditioning
If you are buying a new AC or Heat bill, listen to what your actual needs are. Most units have a database of customer needs they build in their equipment.
Some do not. If you feel like the unit knows your temperature preferences, it will make sure to give you enough cooling and heating throughout the day. A majority of users report that they need about 2–4 times per day for proper functioning, so it is worth checking out!
Other times, looking at how much room you have and how much money you spend can help determine whether or not you need a switch to thermal comfort indicator (TCI). TCI tells you when your room is too warm or too cold, which can help prevent stress and sleep disorders.
Store your old unit properly during summer and winter
When winter comes, make sure to store your ac in a room with plenty of air flow or in the attic. If you have a summer home, keep the A/C indoors or outside where it can be maintained and stored.
Both options are helpful during the summer when you do not want to turn on the heat but don’t forget to shut off the A/C. Doing so will prolong its life!
Store your heat only when needed. These units are heavy, so make sure to put something substantial in place to hold it up. Keep an eye out for any signs of leakage, and if you see any, take it back to the store immediately.
Neither unit should be left out for long periods of time either– these units require regular care and maintenance. Keep an eye out for coats being loose or wet, and take them in if this is happening.
Ask an expert for their advice on switching from heat or air conditioning to another setting
When you turn on a new cooling system, it may require time to understand its functions. The technician who installed the system should have done enough work to know when to switch from air conditioner to different environments.
Some places do have rules and settings for cooling, and some do not. This is important when switching from one area with no setting to another with a setting that requires a shirt or pair of shorts!
As the technician, you should ask for tips and advice about how to use the new system properly. If you can’t do this, then ask an expert—maybe your family member or neighbor who is also a technician.
He or she can help you make sure the unit is working properly, determine the setting needed and put it in correctly, and give you proper assistance in doing that.
