What is a forced air conditioning system?
A forced air system is an HVAC system that uses air ducts and vents to distribute conditioned air through the home. A forced air system works with a central air unit to distribute air throughout your home. An air handler "forces" air through a network of air ducts and into rooms in the house. It may include blowers and dampers that allow you to control the amount of warm or cool air in each room.
How do forced air systems work?
- Pull in hot air: The system pulls in hot air from the home.
- Cool the air: The furnace or heat pump cools the air.
- Force air through the ducts: A blower motor forces cooler air out through a filter and into the ductwork system.
- Release conditioned air: Conditioned air is released into the rooms through the floor's ceilings, walls, or registers.
- Pull in cooler air: Return ducts bring cooler air back to the furnace or heat pump to be cooled again.
- Turns off: Once the thermostat detects that the room has reached the desired temperature, it shuts off.
Signs your air conditioning unit needs service
These are the most common issues we see amongst Montana HVAC units and are signs that the unit needs repair or replacement:
- Increased energy bill: Your energy bill will fluctuate depending on the season, but it shouldn't be an unusual increase. Suppose you notice that your bill has gotten significantly higher, that indicates issues with your AC.
- Reduced airflow: If you've noticed reduced airflow circulating rooms, this is a clear sign that your AC needs to be serviced.
- AC unit age: Your HVAC system requires maintenance, especially as it ages. If your unit is around 10-15 years old and you're noticing a decrease in efficiency, it's time for service.

Commercial AC services
We are proud to deliver cooling solutions to commercial businesses, whether it is installing a replacement air conditioning unit, or repairing an existing unit. A commercial rooftop unit (RTU) is a great solution for small and large companies. It is conveniently located, frees up space in your building, and is less noticeable than a window air conditioner.
When choosing an RTU, it's critical to select one that is properly sized for your building for more efficient cooling. The right rooftop unit will have the appropriate cooling capacity and cooling power to deliver comfort in each room. At Lockmer Sheet Metal, we will determine what size works best for your commercial space to ensure your RTU can match the demand of the building.
