There
are a lot of potential reasons that an air conditioner might break, and
many of them can be avoided with the right maintenance. For major air
conditioner repair and regular maintenance, it is important to contact
an air conditioning expert so that you don't cause more harm than good.
There are a few possible reasons that may cause an air conditioner to
function improperly.
- Outside Fan is Broken. Air conditioning units come with a fan that transfers the heat from inside to the outside. Even if the AC is pumping cool air inside, the air will be warmer than intended because the hot air is not being filtered outside.
- Leaking Freon/Refrigerant. Replacing freon in an air conditioner is uncommon and does not usually need to take place. If there is low refrigerant in the AC, it is most likely because there is a leak that needs to be repaired.
- Corroded or Loose Wiring. Many times the air conditioner may simply not be receiving power due to loose or corroded wiring. This will not only create discomfort due to lack of ac, but can also be a serious danger.
- Ducts in Need of Cleaning. Sometimes the air conditioning may not even be broken but running inefficiently due to dirty ducts. Rodents, insects, and debris can all contribute to a less efficient AC. This will also improve the quality of your home air.
- Outside Unit is Dirty/Cluttered. Air conditioners may not work properly if there is excessive shrubbery or leaves surrounding the unit. Either trim or remove the shrubbery and remove leaves to ensure the AC is working properly.
- Leaks and Cracks in Building's Envelope. Often times there are leaks and cracks where air can infiltrate the home from the outside. There are several different ways to test for air leaks like a blower door test
The best way to avoid excessive repairs is by regular air conditioning maintenance. While both have associated costs, with regular maintenance you can reduce the chances of getting stuck in a house without air conditioning.
