5 Common A/C Problems Encountered Every Spring
|
|
|
Dirty Filter
- Disposable filters should be replaced monthly. It's a simple way to
keep your system working efficiently. Dirty filters reduce indoor air
quality and can result in frozen indoor coils, eventually leading to
serious repairs. Oftentimes, the main reason an air conditioner
isn't cooling properly is because of restricted air flow from an
extremely dirty filter.
Clogged Drain Line-
As air conditioners pull moisture out of humid air while lowering the
indoor temperature, the moisture is typically drained out through your
home's plumbing system into a drain pan. Since algae can grow in these
lines causing them to clog, there should also be a secondary drain as a
back up. Clogged drain lines can lead to water damage in your home.
Refrigerant Leaks
- An air conditioning system is a sealed system; it should never leak
refrigerant. When refrigerant leaks, your air conditioner efficiency
falls and electricity use rises. It's possible that the air conditioner
may not cool, the coil may freeze, or the compressor could become
damaged.
Switch Turned Off-
Some heating and air conditioning systems have a wall switch at the
indoor unit for safety and convenience. The unit switch can easily be
confused with a light switch and can accidentally be turned off . If
the switch is not on, your air conditioner will not start. It's
as simple as that -- always make sure that the switch is in the on
position.
Tripped Breaker
- A common cause of a system not cooling is a tripped breaker. Usually,
the breaker just needs to be reset. But, if this continues repeatedly,
then something may be causing the breaker to trip. It could simply be a
loose wire or a bad capacitor. However, if not addressed, some simple
problems could lead to far more expensive repairs. |
