As a museum library it supports the museum, as a public institution the library serves everybody who needs information for his or her scientific, artistic or journalistic work as well as for education and training. During the openeing hours the collection of the library may be used by everbody free of charge and without registration in the reading room.
Registration and user cards
Anyone wishing to borrow books, periodicals or other media for use outside the premises must first register as a library user. Only individual persons can become members of the library. Registration implies acceptance of the library's user regulations and fees and charges. Persons under 18 will also require the signature of a parent or guardian by way of guarantee in the event of loss or damage to the library's resources.
User registration also constitutes admission to membership of the Zurich Art Society. As a member of the Zurich Art Society you can not only borrow books and other media from the library but enjoy also free entrance to the permanent collection of the museum and to all exhibitions in the Kunsthaus Zürich. Furthermore you receive discounts when you buy somthing in the museum shop, you get the musuem journal four times a year and will pay reduced entrance fees for events and vernissages in the museum. Membership is for one calendar year. For membership fee information, please refer to the library's fees and charges.
When registering as a library user, an official document confirming the holder's current address must be presented. Persons who do not live in the Zurich region are only allowed to borrow, if they are always able to return borrowed media when necessary. The library is to be informed of any change of address without delay.
The user authorizes the Zurich Art Society to store his or her personal data for internal membership administration purposes. Data pertaining to persons belonging to special user groups (as defined in the following
section) will only be stored by the Kunsthaus Library. All personal data will be deleted when the membership of the library and the Zurich Art Society is cancelled, unless there are outstanding debts.
Special user groups
- On presentation of a valid ID card from the relevant educational establishment, schoolchildren and students may be registered as library users for the duration of said card.
- On presentation of a valid press card, journalists may be registered as library users for the duration of said card.
- ICOM members with a valid membership card are entitled to borrow library resources free of charge.
Persons belonging to special user groups will also be required to provide proof of their current address. The enrollment at the library on the basis of the provisions on special user groups does not include membership of the Zurich Art Society.
Using the library
The holdings of the library are kept in closed storage rooms and must be ordered from the catalogue. Users do not have access to the stocks. The reference works, handbooks, bibliographies and journals in the reading room can be used directly.
Using the library in the reading room
Any of the works in the library's possession may be ordered for use in the reading room. Users who are not registered members of the library have to provide a passport or a deposit as security when they request items from the stacks. The copy machines of the library allow the production of black and white as well as color copies by self service. At least 10 orders of a user are issued immediately. Further orders may only be available later the same day or the next working day depending on how busy it is. In the case of particularly valuable and / or poorly preserved documents the use of the original items may not always be possible due to conservational requirements. The library may keep personal data about the use of such rare items for some time even after they have been returned. For the use of archival material and libri rari it is necessary to arrange an appointment in advance.
Registered users are entitled to borrow items and take them home. The maximum number of titles which can be borrowed per person at a time is 30. Individually a higher maximum can be agreed upon on request. The following items can only be used in the reading room and are not for loan:
- the reference library in the reading room
- all items published before 1900
- catalogues raisonnés and historical-critical editions
- video tapes
- the current journal issues on display in the reading room
- books with photographs or prints glued in
- artist books, signed copies and other libri rari
- fragile items, whose conservation status does not allow any further tension

Welcome to the newly designed Latvian Surname Project!
What is the Latvian Surname Project?
The Latvian Surname Project is a constantly growing database of Latvian surnames. It is intended to serve as a resource for English speakers researching their Latvian ancestors. It also aims to provide an overview of Latvian surname trends in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And now - you will be able to participate!
What makes the Latvian Surname Project different from other surname databases?
It focuses exclusively on Latvian surnames. Many surname databases available on the Internet contain very few, if any, Latvian surnames, and these surnames are often incorrectly attributed or defined. As more and more people turn to the Internet to do genealogical research, this resource is intended to fill that niche.
For the purposes of this site, "Latvian surnames" refers to surnames held by ethnic Latvians. There are many resources out there for the history of names for Germans, Russians, Jews, Poles, etc. so this website does not focus on those. Names usually associated with languages other than Latvian may appear on this website, and this is because Latvian surnames have been drawn from a number of different sources, particularly German and Russian, due to a long history of German and Russian domination in Latvian territory. This does not necessarily mean that their bearers were of these ethnicities.
There is one exception to the "ethnic Latvians" rule - I have also included surnames of Roma (Gypsies), since historical scholarship on their histories and names in Latvian territory is also very minimal, and that which I have found is not in English.
How can I browse the site?
Right now, you can browse by location or surname.
The database currently includes 1,210 surnames.
Being able to browse by location is the most important feature for this updated version of the Project. Doing this has also helped identify gaps - that is, parishes or towns for which few or no surnames are listed. This will be remedied as time goes on!
At present, the database includes names from 296 parishes, towns and cities.
A map of the areas covered:
What does an asterisk next to a parish name mean?
An asterisk (*) next to a parish name on a surname page means that this parish has one of the earliest occurrences of this surname (typically a 1826 revision list, consult the Estates category for a list of estates available). As more and more estates are added to the website, the number of asterisks will increase. This will, eventually, help identify migration patterns. Please note: The lack of an asterisk does not mean that the name is not native to a given parish. It may just mean these estates haven't been added yet.
What does "possible place name borrowing" mean?
Latvians were a predominantly agricultural people in the nineteenth century, and therefore lived in the country, either on their own farms or as tenant farmers on a lord's estate. Prior to the abolition of serfdom in the nineteenth century, it was rare for Latvians to have surnames. They were referred to by their given name and the place that they lived. Upon the abolition of serfdom, many people chose the name of their farm or estate as their surname. This does not mean that all surnames marked as "possible place name borrowing" are in fact derived from farm names, only that the name does appear as a farm name in Latvia, so such a possibility does exist.
What does "attested" mean?
This means that I have seen the name in records for that specific parish. This does not mean it occurs exclusively in that parish, only that in my journey through the records I have not yet seen it elsewhere.
What spellings does this website use?
For the names of the surname pages, I use the modern-day Latvian spellings. There are two reasons for this: One, these spellings are standardized. Prior to the spelling reform, surnames were not standardized, and could be spelled in any number of ways. Older spellings are available within the pages, and thus can be used for searches (though keep in mind that if I do not have a specific variation listed, it will not come up with any results. Let me know of the variation!). Two, it is for the benefit of readers who do not speak Latvian, who may not know the pronunciation rules that make it easier to match up modern-day name spellings with non-standardized ones.
My surname is Latvian and it isn't listed!
I welcome surname submissions of any Latvian surnames that you may have, keeping in mind the following:
1) It would be preferable if the surname is attested in a specific location, sometime prior to 1905. 2) Unless the name is attested there prior to 1850, do not submit names with the attestation "Rīga". Most Latvians in Rīga migrated there from somewhere else, therefore surname roots are most likely in those other places.
How can I participate on here?
First you will need to head over to my blog and leave me a comment there, saying you would like to contribute to this resource. If you're already a long-time commenter on my blog, I will recognize you and provide you with an account as soon as I can. If you are a new contributor to my blog, I'll ask that you tell me a bit about your interests in Latvian genealogy to prove that you're not a bot or a spammer prior to being provided with an account. When I create your account, I will also provide you with the information you need to get started.
What features will be added in the future?
As you can tell, each of the surname entries has spaces provided for the eventual addition of maps (like the one above here) that will show surname distributions, as well as spaces for handwritten Cyrillic lettering. The purpose of the handwritten Cyrillic will be to make it easier for you to identify the name in Russian-language records. But as you can imagine, setting them all up can take some time!
In the future, I also intend to add estates to each parish - the interwar parishes often took their name from one of the earlier manorial estates in the area, but there would often be smaller estates that also ended up in the bigger parish. My hope is that the addition of estates will also then provide a venue to provide surname lists for each of the estates, based on the earliest documents where they are mentioned (usually 1826 or 1834).
If you have further suggestions, do feel free to add your suggestions on my blog!

NOTE: As a facility, the SNIC exists to provide Swedish researchers with unified access to the nation's leading supercomputers. It is also responsible for the strategic and scientific development of high-performance computing in Sweden.
"With so many users and systems, it was important to have a single tool that would support our environments well — and would enable our users to work at scale. Allinea DDT was clearly the right tool," said Jacko Koster, director of SNIC. "This is a step towards creating a core production environment that will be common on all SNIC resources."
SNIC coordinates Sweden's six HPC centers to ensure that the resources are used and developed optimally — and reliable software is a key part of that work as it seeks to minimize the CPU time wasted by software bugs and in fixing software problems.
Allinea's products are used by a range of commercial and research institutions across the world and have been applied to applications at both a comparatively modest scale and peta-scale applications on the world's largest supercomputers. With new product features aimed at multi-threaded applications and mixed computing architectures, Allinea says that it is now bringing its experience in parallel tools to the expanding arena of multi-core processing.

2013 NFL Season — 5 Things We Learned From Week 3
Seven NFL teams remain unbeaten pending the Monday night game between Denver and Oakland, while six teams have yet to win in 2013. Here are the most important takeaways from Week 3.
The AFC Is Better Than Advertised
Many NFL pundits believed the NFC was superior to the AFC coming into the 2013 season. It's harder to make that argument after three weeks. With Miami (3-0), Cincinnati (2-1) and Indianapolis (2-1) all scoring inter-conference wins over Atlanta (1-2), Green Bay (1-2) and San Francisco (1-2) respectively, the AFC teams may have illustrated that the pre-season bluster was all-hype.
The Jets Have a Better Record Than the Packers or 49ers
Somehow, the New York Jets (2-1) are not terrible. After beating Buffalo (1-2) by virtue of a 69-yard touchdown pass from Geno Smith to Santonio Holmes, Rex Ryan's team has a better record than the Packers, 49ers, Redskins, Steelers and the Giants. Yes, the wins have been all but gift-wrapped by the Buccaneers and Bills, but plenty of fans could have been expected an 0-3 start for the Jets. New York could easily push its record to 3-1 at Tennessee next Sunday. Maybe injured QB Mark Sanchez is the team's LVP (Least Valuable Player)? They seem to play better with him out of the lineup.
The Colts Didn't Need Trent Richardson To Beat The 49ers
When Indianapolis (2-1) traded a 2014 first-round draft pick to the Browns for running back Trent Richardson earlier this week, many experts assumed it was to give Andrew Luck and the Colts' offense another dimension. Indy didn't need the added threat to beat the reeling 49ers (1-2) by a 27-7 score in San Francisco on Sunday. Luck threw for 164 yards and joined Ahmad Bradshaw and Richardson in scoring rushing touchdowns. Bradshaw piled up 95 yards on 19 carries, leaving some fans wondering if the team needed its new acquisition.
Brian Hoyer Kept Browns' Fans From Rioting
Quarterback Brian Hoyer made his second career start for Cleveland (1-2), and he threw for 321 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions in the Browns' 31-27 win over Minnesota (0-3). Sure, Hoyer did throw three interceptions — and the Vikings are terrible — but his performance kept Browns' fans from completely abandoning all hope on the 2013 season after the team inexplicably traded running back Trent Richardson earlier in the week. Cleveland fans will have to wait another week to get back on the ledge.
The Giants' Offense Is Bad
The New York Giants (0-3) had just three yards of offense in the first quarter during Sunday's embarrassing 38-0 loss to Carolina (1-2). New York quarterback Eli Manning was sacked six times in the first half and seven times for the game. So, other than the inaccuracy of the quarterback, the inability of the line to block for him and the tendency of the running back to fumble, the Giants have looked great so far in 2013, which is to say that they are not good at all right now.

Hello loves,
Let me start this long-overdue post with a disclaimer:
MOM, DAD and GRAMMA, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, PLEASE WAIT UNTIL AFTER CHRISTMAS. (It's only a few more days!)
With that out of the way, I will now give excuses as to why I haven't been doing much in the way of knitification… First, this has been keeping me really busy:
Her name is Kailee and we adopted her the week after we got home from New Zealand. She's German SheppardxWolfxLab and the BEST PUPPY EVER!!!
And I've been working on making gingerbread zombies with the Man. Gingerdead men, if you will. It took us a whole day, and we finished by being too stuffed full of cookie dough and candies to want dinner, but I cooked a proper meal and made us eat it anyway.
So you can see we took some inspiration from 28 Weeks Later (I think the screaming man running through the back yard being chased by the armless zombie is Robert Carlyle, and the one of the roof, doomed to either being eaten alive or jumping from the roof and risking a broken leg is his wife. Either way, she's as good as zombie. And okay, the "HELP" on the roof is probably more likely a reference to 28 Days Later (end scene), but whatever. My favourite part was the Man turning to me after I finished decorating the lady on the roof and saying "You're better at this. Can you fix my gore torso?" Then we proudly displayed that carnage by the front door. And oh do we ever have ideas for next year's gingerbread house… Stay tuned, boys and girls.
The other thing keeping me busy has been my Christmas knitting. I finished a lace shawl for my mommy.
I'm very proud of it and managed to keep it a secret until right this very moment, when she came up behind me at work and said "Oh that's pretty, did you make that?" Me: uh, no… I found it on the internet. Her: "Well it's very pretty, I sure like the rainbow colours" At least I know she likes it!
Also I'm working on a Cowichan sweater for my daddy. So, it won't be ready for Christmas (I haven't even bought the yarn yet, but I have to go to Kelowna) but I'll draw him a nice picture of it. And it's not really a Cowichan sweater in the traditional sense. I'm using a vintage pattern as a template, but it's going to be a cross between a Cowichan and some vintage Moto Guzzi race sweater that exists on the internet (and in some cool book my dad has) but which I can't find just now. I still have to alter my graph a bit, so there's not much to show right now…
The last thing I have to knit up is a tea cozy for my Gramma. It's my own design inspired by the Mason Dixon dish cloth (tea towel?). I've only cast-on this morning and I have to make a place holder toque for my dad, so I hope I get them done in time!
Well, I guess that's it for now.
knitified* out.

People are saying the best show in town is the "circus" at the Butler County commissioners' meetings put on by Chairman Commissioner Bill McCarrier and his sidekick, Commissioner Dale Pinkerton.
McCarrier and Pinkerton have control of what goes on at the meetings because they have the two votes to do whatever they want to do, and regarding what takes place at the sessions.
Every meeting they have as their main act Itzi Meztli, Steve Hively and Jerry Johnston doing their three minutes of stand-up comedy. All they do is criticize Commissioner Jim Eckstein and say nothing about county government.
All the while the chairman and his sidekick do nothing but sit there and grin.
Now they want to keep Eckstein from speaking his mind by making a rule about time limits, which is against freedom of speech. Meanwhile, our so-called solicitor and our chief clerk just sit there and watch Meztli, Hively and Johnston criticize Eckstein.
If they would go back and check past meeting minutes, they would find that people were not permitted to attack county commissioners with personal issues. Now there is something to have a good laugh about.
Meztli and Hively are now saying they don't want their names dragged into the public meetings when that is their comedy act.
And, get this: It might damage their integrity and credibility.
What a laugh. In my opinion, they lost their integrity and credibility a long time ago.
As Paul Harvey used to say, stay tuned for the rest of the story.

Hats off to Carol Savage for her letter of Feb. 26, "Fix problems first."
First, there's last summer's "urban park" and seating that took up part of a downtown Butler street, plus the decision to take away a working traffic light, which someday might create a serious danger.
I, and I'm sure others, have had close calls there.
Also, as far back as I can remember, Washington Street was always one way between West Penn and West Wayne streets. Now, our firefighters have two-way traffic to deal with when leaving the fire station.
Butler City Council needs to think before it spends taxpayers' money.
The Butler Memorial Park pool has been closed for years. It should be fixed. City kids don't always have a ride to Alameda Park.
Evans City has a very nice park for its children.
Where does the money from the Butler car show and ethnic festival go?
Butler needs to take a stand. Our streets are a mess.
I wonder how much money was put into the repair of Pillow Street. All I can tell from that job was that the pavement was fixed. However, the flooding goes on, even though there were new pipes, drains, etc., put in.
I live off of Pillow Street. The rainwater comes up to my neighbor's sidewalk. The water gets so deep that if drivers aren't careful, they could hydroplane.
It's time to get answers and get things done. This is our town.
Meanwhile, I don't support the Centre City Project.

|OneBag: Readme
Current Version: 2.0.$Revision: 3880 $
OneBag is a replacement for the default game bags that combines all the bags into one frame. There are already addons out there that do this, so why OneBag? Mainly because I wanted a simpler, more system-friendly bag. OneBag doesn't entirely rewrite the bag-handling interface like others do. It simply rearranges the bags into one and allows the default UI to continue managing the bag slots. This means that addons such as KC_Items, ItemSync, LootLink, and SellValue should be inherently supported. As long as an addon is compatible with the default game bags, it should work with OneBag. This was my goal, anyway. For my uses OneBag has succeeded. Hopefully you will have similar results.
A Couple of Notes:
Command List
All of these commands are available from both the command line and dropwdown config menu unless otherwise noted.

A Long Island county is forgiving $2.4 million in speed camera fines issued in the past month.
Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano says there were problems with the cameras installed at six school locations.
He tells Newsday that five cameras issued tickets on days when school was not in session. Cameras at a sixth location began operating prematurely.
Mangano says he is declaring amnesty on the fines. He says enforcement resumes when school opens next month.
Gov. Cuomo signed legislation this year allowing 200 new speed cameras at school zones in New York City and Long Island. The cameras are supposed to operate during and immediately before and after school.
The county issued more than 30,000 citations at the five schools, totaling more than $2.4 million.

text: By 1935 Giacometti had already turned away from the playfulness and fantastic elements of Surrealism; he wanted to capture the living presence of a human being as it is experienced in a personal encounter with another individual. For twelve years he searched for a solution; in 1947 he found it in the form of his weightlessly soaring thin figures. La cage is a wonderful exemplar of the principle of "phenomenological" realism: stand and cage represent human beings in their consciousness within which the bust as self-consciousness is inextricably bound up. The tiny statuette on the plinth reveals the content of consciousness to be that which is perceived by sight: it is only the viewer who brings the work to life through the act of viewing.

This Pearl stained glass film design can be ordered printed on a non frosted film for added colour vibrancy, or on frosted film for added privacy. The non frosted film will still allow for some privacy so would be ideal for a front door, but we wouldn't recommend it's use in a bathroom where privacy is more of an issue, and where the frosted film option would be more suitable.
You can order the film for 1 pane of glass and we will re-size the design to suit the measurements you provided. In the case of a multipane window, order each panel of film separately to fit each pane, then use the "extra requirements" box to tell us the layout of the panes within the window (e.g 3 across, 4 down), as well as the width of the glazing bars between each pane (e.g 2.5cm glazing bars). This way, the design will be split over the whole area of glass as a complete design. A cheaper option would be to order a large film to cover the whole window and then cut it into sections yourself.
As a rule, our films are printed for internal application, and in the case of house numbers, with the text or number printed in reverse. The glass should be smooth, so in some cases where the glass is rippled or patterned on the inside, the only option might to apply the film externally. Just make a note to that effect in the "extra requirements" box and we'll make sure that the film is printed for external application.
To order, just supply your measurements in centimetres for accuracy.
For example, 300mm equals 30cm, 355mm equals 35.5cm, 1metre equals 100cm, 1m55 equals 155cm.
For accurate measuring, take a measurement at the top and bottom, as well as the left and right side of the glass. If there is any discrepancy, use the largest figures for both height and width. You can trim the film to suit after installation.
If you want to leave a clear gap around the film, just deduct the size of the required gap twice from the width and height of the window.
For any film you order of the same design and measurements, you get a 15% discount. If 2 panes are slightly different in size and to still benefit from the discount, use the highest and widest measurements. You can always trim the excess material after installation.
The finished product is easy to apply using soapy water and a squeegee. Please refer to our video tutorial for installation tips:

The day is here. Tonight is the Closing Ceremonies of the XXX Olympiad here in London and a few short hours after the torch is extinguished, Julie and I will be on a plane bound for home. And you know what? It's time.
I've really enjoyed my month Across the Pond, shooting photos wherever I go and meeting very good people from all over the world. There was the nice man from Cameroon who played the sax on the train for Julie and I; the lawyer couple from Yorkshire who didn't understand the American political process and shared my distaste of the Spice Girls; the Spanish man who loved everything about American culture and especially the sports (he's a 49ers fan and watches the NBA finals live from Spain); and who could forget Charles, the Londoner who held and umbrella over my camera so I could photograph the women's marathon in the pouring rain.
Someone asked me yesterday if I was homesick and it didn't hit me until that moment but I really am. It will be nice to get a full night's sleep and not have to sleep on an air mattress on the floor of a closet-sized dorm room. While I think the Tube is the greatest feat of public transportation in the world, it will be nice not to have to travel a minimum of 45 minutes each direction just to get to the action. That being said, I can't wait to come back and see the UK properly, without the distraction of The Games. Though I will still have my camera in tow.
On this final day of competition, the men's marathon wound its way through the maze that is the streets of London. Team USA's Mebrahtom Keflezighi finished fourth after leading early. And with that, I'm off.

PARIS — For nearly a decade, one of the world's greatest palaces has also housed a dusty building site. Now, thanks to a 26 million-euro ($35.4 million) restoration, one of the Louvre Museum's most exciting collections, the 18th century decorative arts wing, has been re-opened to its full glory.
Paid for entirely by private donations, the nine-year restoration modernized creaky halls and corridors and built new rooms for over 2,000 design objects. They start with the reign of France's Louis XIV, who lived in the Louvre, to his successors Louis XV and Louis XVI.
The latter's lavish court brought such contempt and outrage that it helped spurn the French Revolution.
And this collection shows why. The Louvre's north section, the Richelieu wing, has been transformed into 33 glittering salons, full of gold mirrors, velvet chaise-lounges and cabinets with intricate precious stone inlays.
"These collections now show off the real spirit of French-style art de vivre," said Louvre President Jean-Luc Martinez said at a dinner to thank the principal sponsor — Marie Antoinette's watchmaker, Breguet. "It's part of a project to build a Louvre for the 21st century."
The public can now get up close and personal with Marie Antoinette's fastidiously embellished desktop or another French queen's incredibly ornate hot chocolate maker — all opened up thanks to glass cabinets.
"It now reunites more than 200 masterpieces from one of the most glorious periods in the decorative arts," said department director Jannic Durand.
A series of rooms reconstruct original salons from the reigns of trend-setting kings from 1660-1790 who made France the envy of the world for its fashion and style. In chronological order, they show how France's tastes changed with the influences of Orientalism and Turkish styles, as the West's power expanded into colonialism.

In order to work as an HVAC technician, a person must graduate with an associate degree in the field or enter into an apprenticeship program.
Some contractors may also learn their craft while on the job. After they receive their education, whether it's through a school or training, the graduates must then complete an exam to receive a certification if they intend to work with refrigerators or air conditioners.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires this certification since appliances that use refrigerants can harm the ecosystem if they're not properly installed or maintained. While the EPA mandates this area of HVAC work, requiring a technician to get a license is up to the state to decide. With that said, not all states demand contractors to obtain one.
Your heating and air units are some of the most complex systems in your property, so complete your research before selecting a professional to do the work. Here's a checklist of questions to ask yourself and things to consider when making your choice:
What Kind of Work is Needed?
Do you need someone to install a completely new HVAC unit? Does your current system need repairs? Do you only require routine maintenance? Once you make a list of the necessary work, you can shop around to collect bids from heating and air companies in your community.
Can Your Family or Friends Recommend a Service?
Your loved ones will most likely give you the best advice regarding technicians that worked for them and which ones to avoid. Ask around when beginning your search. Friends and family could lead you to a reputable contractor. Even if you don't need HVAC help at the moment, you can save the recommended company's contact information for when you do.
Is the HVAC Contractor Licensed in Your State?
Considering the work that may need to be done on your unit, it's best to look for a licensed professional. Do a search or contact your state's heating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractors board to ensure a technician is licensed.
Also, make sure the contractor is registered with your state or city to do the kind or work you require.
Is the Company Insured?
You want the professional you hire to carry insurance. If they don't, you run the risk of paying out of pocket for any damage they might do to your home or commercial building. An HVAC technician not only needs liability coverage for work-related damage, but also coverage to handle any bodily injuries they sustain on the job.
Is the Technician Bonded?
Not all service providers may be bonded, but finding one that is can be crucial for property owners. Ensure the bond is large enough to cover any costs if the technician doesn't complete the project or walks off the job. You don't want to be left with a bill and unfinished work.
One service an HVAC contractor can provide is a diagnostic test of your heating and central air unit. A reputable technician will examine your unit and ask you questions about various aspects of the system. He or she will check your furnace as well as ductwork and discuss options with you. Beware of a contractor that takes a quick look through your home or place of business and immediately tells you replacing your HVAC system is necessary.
Expect the average air conditioning unit to last between eight and 12 years. If it's more than 12 years old, it could be expensive to repair if the system breaks down often. Also, parts for older air conditioners are harder to find since some manufacturers discontinue them.
Restoring or replacing an aging unit can get expensive. It could be time to invest in a new model if your utility bills are rising and you notice uneven air flow and temperatures throughout your property. If one room is cooler than another, consider a total replacement.
If your system makes a lot of noise when it powers on or if it turns off suddenly, it's time to replace it with a new, more energy-efficient model.
On the other hand, if the air conditioner is relatively new and still within its age range, it's more cost-effective to get a contractor to repair it.
The time it takes to install an AC unit and the associated cost depends on the square footage of your home. Many homeowners spend between $3,677 to $7,151 for a contractor to put in a new central air system.
A family with a 2,000-square-foot house that already has a forced-air heating unit can expect to pay $3,500 to $4,000 for a cooling system. If technicians don't need to make any changes to the ductwork, then the project should take them an average of two to three days.
If you're having trouble with your air conditioning, there are some problems you can address yourself. However, you should leave the big issues to a professional. Let's take a look at some common dilemmas and what you should do if they arise.
The Air Conditioner Won't Turn On
If your unit isn't turning on, check on it outside to make sure the condenser is still running. Ensure it's fully plugged in and that your thermostat is set. Lower the thermostat by a few more degrees than your typical setting. You should hear it power on after doing so. If that doesn't take care of the problem, check your fuse box. You could have a blown fuse or a tripped circuit that's causing the air conditioner to not turn on.
The System isn't Cooling the Air
Is the air conditioner on your thermostat set low, but you aren't feeling cool air? It could be that debris is blocking the condenser. Check on your system outside and remove any tree branches or leaves from around it. Debris can easily obstruct air flow, so make sure the area around your air conditioning unit is clean and trimmed back. Additionally, make sure your filter is clean. A buildup of dirt and dust can cause poor air circulation.
Refrigerant is Leaking
A refrigerant leak not only keeps your air conditioner from running efficiently, it's also harmful to the environment. There are many things that can cause your air conditioner to leak coolant, but the usual culprit is a problem with the evaporator coil or outdoor condenser coil. If you discover any freon coming out of your unit, contact a professional. It could be that you need to obtain a patch or a whole new part to resolve the problem.
The Air Conditioner is Making Noises
Is your unit running loud or making odd noises? To properly diagnose the problem, find out where the noises are coming from. A banging or clanking sound could be due to a loose part. If you hear a hissing sound, it's most likely because of a refrigerant leak and you should contact an HVAC technician as soon as possible.
There are Sensor or Drainage Issues
It's important to keep your air conditioning unit level, because if it's not, you could be faced with a host of problems. If you notice your system is acting inconsistently, the sensor is most likely out of place. Turn off the unit and reach behind its control panel while carefully bending the sensor back into place near the evaporative coil.
If you happen to live in a hot and humid area of the country, you're also bound to face drainage problems with your unit since moisture can trap itself inside the system. Routine maintenance can cut down on drainage issues by cleaning out any mold or algae from blocking the drain. If you notice moldy smells whenever you turn the thermostat down, it's best to check on your system.
To clean your air conditioner drain, first shut off the power to your unit at both the thermostat and the breaker. Then remove the drain pan. If the pan is full of water, soak up the liquid with a few towels or rags or use a wet vacuum. You can use a solution of water and distilled vinegar, or substitute peroxide for the vinegar, to clean out the drain pipe. Let the pipe sit for a while in the solution and then put all the parts back in place. Once you start using your air conditioner on a regular basis, check it periodically to ensure condensation isn't building up.
You can keep your air conditioner running efficiently with some preventative care measures. Here are various steps you can take that will prolong the life of your system and help you save on your energy bills each month. Remember to shut off the power to your AC before cleaning it or performing any of these tasks.
Clean Your Filter
It's always a good idea to clean the AC's filter at least twice a year. It gets dirty and clogged after a few months, it can increase your unit's energy consumption by as much as 15 percent.
Remove Leaves and Twigs
Since many air conditioners are located outside, they could get a lot of debris such as leaves, dirt or sticks in their cages or even in their interiors. After you turn off the power to the unit, use a screwdriver to detach the cage so you can clean the debris from the system.
Clean and Straighten the Fins
To get the best performance from your air system, clean the fins of the unit with either a garden hose or a special spray you can find at your local home improvement store. Use your hose to run a strong stream of water to remove any built-up dust or debris stuck in between the fins. Remember that air flows through these little fins, so if dirt gets caught in them or if a fin is bent, it will reduce the cooling efficiency. Use a butter knife or other knife with a dull end to carefully straighten out any smashed fins.
Keep Your Yard Clean
Not only is it good to rake up leaves to protect your lawn's grass, it's also beneficial for your air conditioner. Rake leaves, cut grass and trim back any tree branches around the unit as a preventative measure. All this yard debris could end up blocking the fins or other parts of the system and cause your AC to use more power to generate cool air in your home.
Cover it Up for Winter
Another precaution you can take to prolong the life of your central air unit is to cover it up during winter. Protect it from ice and snow by putting a sheet of plastic or wood on top of the unit. However, only cover the top and not the whole machine. You don't want to trap moisture that could cause it to rust and you don't want to provide a hiding spot for pests.
Make Sure it's Level
Ensure your system is on a level plane. Over the years, the soil and mat under the unit can shift. If it's not balanced, you run the risk of damaging the inner workings of the unit.
