Spring and summer are here – which means overtime work for your air conditioning unit. However, your unit might have some overlooked problems during winter. It can be confusing after finding your AC doesn’t turn on or worse, doesn’t cool your spaces. In this post, A-1 Heat & Air Conditioning Inc.’s AC repair experts will share the five common reasons why your unit isn’t working properly.
Any unit with impeded airflow won’t cool any room this summer. Dirty coils are the number-one reason for the poor airflow in most ACs. Fortunately, the solution is simple – have it cleaned by technicians during your next AC tune-up this summer. Dirty coils can cause expensive problems if left unattended, such as refrigerant leaks and damage to your thermostat’s sensors or the thermostat itself.
Refrigerant leaks are trouble to the environment and to your wallet, and dirty and rusted coils are their primary cause. With low refrigerant levels, your system will have to work harder to cool your spaces. Worse, it wouldn’t change the temperature once the refrigerant leaks enough to reach an extremely low level. With regular cleaning and checks by AC repair experts, you can avoid refrigerant leaks
Dirty coils do not just affect airflow – they can also damage your thermostat’s sensors. The sensors can increase your energy bills massively because they won’t measure indoor temperature accurately and let your thermostat adjust temperatures properly. With regular cleaning and maintenance, you can avoid all these issues.
If your coils are always in good shape, have no refrigerant leaks, and the sensors are working fine, your thermostat might be the one in question. A skilled technician can use various tests and methods to see whether your thermostat needs a minor adjustment or a complete replacement.
Lastly, if everything checks out, but your AC won’t start or has insufficient airflow, it’s most likely it doesn’t get enough electricity or has circuit problems. To determine whether this is the case, a reliable AC repair technician from A-1 Heat & Air Conditioning Inc. can see whether or not your system needs an electrical overhaul.
