Every year we go on service calls where the air conditioner isn't cooling and the cause is limited air circulation from an exceptionally dirty filter. Dirty filters minimize indoor air quality, make the house less comfortable, and can result in frozen indoor coils, eventually leading to major repair work.
2. Change Turned Off
Some heating and a/c systems have a wall switch at the indoor system for security and convenience that can be confused with a light switch. If this is mistakenly turned off or left off during moderate weather condition, your air conditioner will not begin. Constantly check the condition of this switch before calling us.
3. Tripped Breaker
One of the most typical causes of no-cool calls is a tripped breaker. Something is causing the breaker to trip. Frequently, it's something easy, like a bad breaker, loose wire, or a bad capacitor.
4. Refrigerant Leaks
An air conditioning system is a sealed system. Your air conditioner efficiency falls and electricity use rises. Your air conditioner may not cool.
5. Thermostat
Some thermostats should be changed in between heating mode and cooling mode. If the switch is in the wrong position or breaks, your air conditioner won't begin. The switch may break; a voltage spike may trigger a breakdown, and so on.
6. Obstructed Drain Line
Air conditioning unit pull moisture out of humid air while reducing the temperature level. The wetness is usually drained pipes from your house through your pipes system. A drain pan must exist as a back up with a secondary condensate drain. Algae can grow in these lines, blocking them up. This can result in water damage in your house. We clear the drain lines as part of our spring a/c tune-up or you can have it done individually, as required.
7. Contactor
A contactor is an electromechanical switch in your air conditioner. Sometimes the silver finishing on a contactor will use off and the contactor will stick, causing the outdoors system to run continually, which is expensive. We inspect these as part of a spring tune-up, tidy the surface of the contactors if needed, and advise replacement if failure appears imminent.
8. Filthy Evaporator Coil
The evaporator coil lies inside your home ... Regularly the coil needs to be cleaned or dust and dirt develop will limit the coil's heat transfer capabilities and minimize system air flow. Filthy coils increase running cost and decrease the convenience of your house. * Ought to be done by HEATING AND COOLING Professional
9. Filthy Condenser Coil
The condenser coil is the outdoors part of your air conditioning system. A limited or filthy coil mishandles, increasing electricity usage and minimizing system cooling capability. Keeping it tidy will go along method reducing energy costs and decreasing the wear and tear on your a/c system.
10. Duct Leaks
With a forced air heating & cooling system you pay to condition air. The ductwork provides the air to the different rooms. If the ductwork that supply's this air is located beyond the location you want conditioned like basement, crawl space or attic has leaks, you are paying to condition a space that you do not wish to condition and minimize the amount of air that could be conditioning the rooms you wish to condition. This causes longer run times and higher energy expenses. Inefficient ductwork (your air distribution system) is a major energy waster in a lot of houses. I will have more on this in ac repair future articles.
Every year we go on service calls where the air conditioner isn't cooling and the cause is limited air flow from a very dirty filter. Some heating and air conditioning systems have a wall switch at the indoor unit for safety and benefit that can be puzzled with a light switch. Air conditioners pull wetness out of humid air while lowering the temperature. With a forced air heating & cooling system you pay to condition air. If the ductwork that supply's this air is situated outside of the location you want conditioned like basement, crawl space or attic has leaks, you are paying to condition an area that you do not desire to condition and lower the amount of air that could be conditioning the spaces you desire to condition.
