There are a lot of potential reasons that an air conditioner might break down and many of them can be avoided with the proper maintenance and care. For major air conditioning service issues and regular maintenance, contacting a trained professional will prevent a lot of future headache and potentially causing more harm than good. Below are several of the common reasons that air conditioners may break down:
Broken outside fan. There are two essential components to air conditioners that make it efficient at what it does; the pump and the fan. The pump is responsible for pumping cool air inside and the fan is responsible for pulling and filtering the hot air to the outside.
Leaking freon/refrigerant. An air conditioner that is operating correctly does not need to have the freon replaced. If freon needs to be replaced it is likely because there is a leak that needs to be fixed.
Loose or corroded wiring. If your air conditioning keeps turning off or just feels like it isn't pumping air out, then the wiring may be the issue. If the wiring is not secure or has corrosion, then the AC may not be getting electricity in order to run.
Dirty ducts need cleaning. While this isn't an issue that is directly related to a broken AC unit, it can still cause an AC to work less efficiently. The dirtier the ducts are the harder the AC has to work to push past all that dirt.
Outside unit is dirty or cluttered. Many times, the outside unit may be covered in shrubbery, bushes, leaves, or anything else that can block the functioning of the unit. If this is the problem then you can trim back the bushes or clean the clutter for a more effective AC.
Leaks and cracks in the building's envelope. This is also not directly related to an air conditioner breaking down but can cause the overall system to work inefficiently.
Of course, the best way to avoid excessive repair is by having a regular maintenance subscription plan. While both have their individual associated costs, regular maintenance reduces depreciation and repairs while ensuring that the unit is working at optimal efficiency.
