If your A/C stops working
The last thing you want on a sweltering hot afternoon is your central a/c method to not toil regularly.
While your first reaction may be to contact an Heating, Ventilation & A/C professional, you might be able to solve some problems on your own & avoid a expensive loft call. If your A/C is blowing moderate air, several culprits may be to blame. It may seem simplistic, however sometimes the cause of an A/C method running however not cooling is simply the result of someone switching the temperature control from automatic to the fan setting. If it’s been more than a couple months since you have substituted the air filter in your A/C system, they may be dirty & jammed, which can affect air flow. When filters get jammed with animal fur or dust, the A/C method cannot draw in sufficient air, & as a result, only a wimpy flow of air comes out. Air conditioners toil in area by removing humidity from the air & that moisture must go anywhere. That’s the task of a condensation drain house. It directs water to a floor drain or to the outside of your home, depending on your system. Condensation drains are subject to blockage by mold & algae growth. When this happens, some A/C units will stop cooling while others shut down completely. If dry leaves & debris have piled up next to a compressor unit, it may not be able to draw in sufficient air. A typical A/C method has 2 sets of coils & when they become dirty or covered with mold & debris, cold air output can suffer. If you have gone through the last few steps of cleaning & checking these components & the A/C method still is not cooling regularly, the problem could be leaking refrigerant or a failed compressor unit. Freon is federally regulated & may only be handled by a licensed Heating, Ventilation & A/C professional. A failed compressor, especially if your A/C method is more than 10 years old, may signify the need to purchase a new system. These concerns must be addressed by the professionals so make sure you contact an Heating, Ventilation & A/C professional to service your a/c method in these cases.
