Common Problems During Peak AC Season
While there is a long list of different problems that may arise with your air conditioner, and need to be looked at by a professional, there is also a short list of the most common problems that may arise in peak AC season. Knowing a few of the most common problems can help you to better prepare when the discussion comes up with your technician to resolve the problem. Here’s a list of 5 common AC problems during peak AC season that may trigger you to pick up the phone and dial B-E-L-O-M-A-N:
“The electrical components failed”: faulty wiring with your AC unit can be a possible fire hazard and cause your unit to not perform as it should. If you are experiencing an electrical issue it’s best precautions to contact a qualified electrician.
“The air isn’t cool”: if your AC is not cooling like you think it should be it could mean your system is experiencing a leak and you are low on Freon. A professional will be able to check for leaks to repair the issue and recharge the unit.
“The fan isn’t turning on”: if the fan on your outside unit isn’t performing correctly, proper heat transfer cannot take place which can cause the compressor to overheat
“It’s just not working”: a completely dysfunctional unit could mean something as little as a thermostat issue but it should definitely be addressed by a professional to determine the exact problem at hand
“I have frost on my unit”: if you go outside to check your unit and see it has become frozen it could be a filter, ductwork, or refrigerant problem. In order for a technician to repair the problem you’ll need to allow the unit some time to thaw.
