There are a lot of reasons that an air conditioner may break down, and many of them can be avoided with regular maintenance on your hvac unit.  For all major air conditioning repairs and regular maintenance, it is important to contact a licensed and trained professional so that you don't run the risk of causing more harm than good.  Below are a few of the possible reasons that may cause an AC system to function improperly:

• Broken fan outside.  Since the purpose of the outside fan is to filter the hot air from inside to the outside, if it breaks down it can make your overall system run less efficiently.
• Leaking freon.  Freon does not need to be replaced regularly on an air conditioning unit, so if the freon levels are low then chances are there is a leak.  It is illegal to replace freon without correcting the leak so don't put this off!
• Corroded or loose wiring.  If your air conditioner is not hooked up to a source of electricity, then it will not be functioning.  Many times this can simply be because the wiring is loose or corroded which can also cause a serious danger problem.
• Ducts in need of cleaning.  While this is not a repair issue, if your ducts are clogged or cluttered then they are going to be restricting the air flow, thus making the hvac system run inefficiently.
• Dirty or cluttered outside unit.  If the outside unit is covered in shrubbery, vines, or yard trash, then the system will have to work harder for the same amount of cooling.  This is fortunately an issue that is pretty easy to fix as a homeowner.
• Leaks or cracks in the 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 or a thermal imaging device.

Of course, the best way to avoid excessive repairs is to have regular scheduled maintenance to your hvac system. Contact Comfort Services today at 803-772-4490 for a free consultation on all of your emergency air conditioning needs.
