Most Common Air Conditioner Repair Tasks

What are the most common reasons people call for HVAC system repairs?

Troubleshooting

The first step of any repair appointment is running diagnostics to determine the exact problem. When you notice a sign you need repairs, several different issues could cause the problem. An experienced HVAC technician can determine the exact nature of the issue and offer a customized solution that meets your needs.

Refrigerant Levels

Refrigerant is the lifeblood of your cooling system and one of the most common repairs we encounter. When your air conditioner develops leaks in the refrigerant line, the levels can drop too low and cause serious problems with your device. A certified technician can find the leak, repair it, and restore the refrigerant to the perfect levels.

You should never handle refrigerant yourself. Inhaling or touching it can cause serious health complications and inappropriate disposal can harm the environment.

Tightening Connections

Tightening connections is one of the easiest and most affordable AC repair tasks. You still should rely on professionals so you don’t accidentally cause further damage to your device. The components that most often require tightening include:

• Electrical connections
• The blower or fan motor
• Thermostat connections
• Mounting devices

Component Replacement

Your air conditioner consists of dozens of small components that work together to effectively cool your home. As your air conditioner ages, an increasing number of these components experience wear and tear and require replacement. We can replace the following components and more:

• Refrigerant line
• Expansion valve
• Blower motor or fan
• Condenser belt
• Capacitor
• Evaporator coils
• Compressor
• Thermostat sensor

Thermostat Repairs

When homeowners believe they have problems with their air conditioner, they sometimes overlook the thermostat. Your air conditioner could remain in perfect condition, but if the thermostat breaks, it can’t cool your home. Your thermostat may need replacement, cleaning, or recalibration.

Clearing Buildup

Dust can build up on the indoor components of your air conditioner, and your outdoor sections have an even greater vulnerability to dirt accumulation. Our repairs often include replacing a dirty air filter or clearing dirt from the evaporator and condenser coils.

Dirt buildup can cause only minor issues at first. However, if you ignore the issue, it can cause serious issues.

Signs Your Air Conditioner Needs Repairs

How do you know your air conditioner requires repairs? Stay alert about these most common signs.

Rising Energy Costs

One of the earliest signs your air conditioner has minor damage is a drop in efficiency. When your components experience wear and tear, they work harder to cool your home. This uses more electricity and you’ll see your energy bills rise at an abnormally high rate.

Decreased Comfort

If you notice a reduction in the cooling power of your device, don’t delay in scheduling repairs. Decreased comfort can include any of the following:

• Reduced airflow
• High humidity
• Inconsistent temperatures
• Lukewarm air
• An increase in allergens or respiratory issues

Visible Damage

If you notice visible damage on your air conditioner, don’t delay in calling for repairs. The issues may seem minor, but without prompt attention, they may require you to replace your device early.

Concerning Smells and Sounds

What are the most concerning smells coming from your air conditioner? If you notice a burning smell, consider it an emergency and stop running your device. You should also schedule a cleaning if your HVAC system smells like mold.

Call for repairs if you notice any of the following sounds:

• Rattling
• Grinding
• Buzzing
• Hissing
• Banging
• Screeching

Benefits of Scheduling Repairs Promptly

You may feel tempted to delay repairs to save some money. However, this costs you more money in the long term.

When you invest in quick repairs, you lower your energy bills. You also avoid more serious repairs that could force you to replace your air conditioner before its time. Always schedule repairs the moment you notice an issue.
