Common Air Conditioner Repairs

Take a look at some of the most common HVAC repairs.

• Refrigerant leak – Your air conditioner uses a chemical refrigerant to cool the air in your house. The refrigerant, located in pipes that connect indoor and outdoor equipment, can leak. A leak somewhere in the system can cause the air conditioner to become less effective. The best solution is to find the leak, seal it,and then restore the level of refrigerant.
• Drainage problems – Have you ever noticed the water on the outside of a cold glass of milk? Air conditioning coils also get very cold and produce condensate.They are designed with drain pans and piping to help the condensate flow away. But if there’s a clog somewhere in your system, it can cause all sorts of problems.For example, you might experience high humidity levels, or, if your drain pan is full, your AC may not turn on at all.
• Broken condenser fan –The big metal box outside your home is the condensing unit. The condensing unit houses a compressor, coils, and one or more fans. These components are integral to the operation of your air conditioner. The outdoor fan helps cool the refrigerant and push hot air away from the unit. If it’s not operating, your system will struggle to perform. The root of the problem could be any number of things, from a motor problem to bent blades.
• Compressor issues –The AC issue most feared by homeowners, a compressor problem is one of the most complex repairs. The compressor is the most critical part of your air conditioner. Without it, nothing else in the system will work. It is a complicated device, so if there is an issue with your compressor, there are many potential causes. Compressors are also the most expensive component of any air conditioning system. If you’re facing a compressor replacement, you might consider replacing the air conditioner instead.
