Every year we go on service calls where the air conditioner isn't cooling and the cause is limited air circulation from an extremely dirty filter. Filthy filters lower indoor air quality, make the home less comfortable, and can result in frozen indoor coils, eventually leading to major repair work.
2. Switch 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 mild 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 triggering the breaker to journey. Often, 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 performance falls and electrical energy usage increases. Your air conditioner might not cool.
5. Thermostat
Some thermostats must be switched between heating mode and cooling mode. If the switch is in the wrong position or breaks, your air conditioner won't start. The switch might break; a voltage spike might cause a malfunction, and so on.
6. Clogged Drain Line
Air conditioners pull wetness out of damp air while decreasing the temperature level. The wetness is normally drained pipes out of your house through your pipes system. We clear the drain lines as part of our spring air conditioning tune-up or you can have it done independently, as required.
7. Contactor
A contactor is an electromechanical switch in your air conditioner. Sometimes the silver covering on a contactor will wear off and the contactor will stick, causing the outdoors system to run continually, which is costly. We inspect these as part of a spring tune-up, clean the surface of the contactors if needed, and advise replacement if failure appears impending.
8. Unclean Evaporator Coil
The evaporator coil lies inside your home ... Periodically the coil needs to be cleaned or dust and dirt develop will limit the coil's heat transfer abilities and minimize system air flow. Dirty coils increase operating expense and lower the convenience of your house. * Ought to be done by HEATING AND COOLING Professional
9. Dirty Condenser Coil
The condenser coil is the outdoors part of your air conditioning system. A filthy or restricted coil mishandles, increasing electrical energy use and minimizing system cooling capability. Keeping it clean will go along way in reducing energy expenses and lowering the wear and tear on your cooling system.
10. Duct Leaks
With a forced air heating & cooling system you pay to condition air. The ductwork provides the air to the various rooms. If the ductwork that supply's this air is located outside of the location you desire conditioned like basement, crawl space or attic has leaks, you are paying to condition a space that you do not wish to condition and air conditioning Lexington SC lower the quantity of air that could be conditioning the rooms you want to condition. This causes longer run times and greater energy costs. Ineffective ductwork (your air distribution system) is a major energy waster in most homes. I will have more on this in future posts.
Every year we go on service calls where the air conditioner isn't really cooling and the cause is restricted air flow from an extremely unclean filter. Some heating and air conditioning systems have a wall switch at the indoor system for security and convenience that can be confused with a light switch. Air conditioners pull wetness out of damp air while reducing the temperature. With a forced air heating & cooling system you pay to condition air. If the ductwork that supply's this air is located outside of the location you desire conditioned like basement, crawl space or attic has leaks, you are paying to condition an area that you do not desire to condition and decrease the amount of air that might be conditioning the spaces you want to condition.
