There are a lot of potential causes for a broken air conditioner, and many of them can be avoided with routine maintenance. For major air conditioner repair and regular maintenance, contact a reliable and licensed technician so that you don't cause more harm than good by trying to fix it yourself. Below are a few possible reasons that an air conditioning system may not be functioning properly:
- Broken outside fan. There are two components to the air conditioner that directly effect the temperature in a building; the pump and the fan. The pump serves the purpose of pumping cool air inside while the fan pulls the hot air from inside to the outside of the house. If the fan is broken, the air conditioner might still be pumping cool air inside but will not be as efficient since the hot air is not being filtered out.
- Leaking freon and refrigerant. Replacing freon in an air conditioning system is not a common practice, and usually means that there is a leak. It is against the law to replace the freon without fixing a leak, so be careful to make sure to fix it before refilling.
- Corroded and loose wiring. Many times the air conditioner may not be receiving power simply because of a loose or corroded wire. While this is a fairly simple fix most of the time, it can still pose a danger as well as preventing the air conditioner from working.
- Dirty ductwork. Sometimes the air conditioning may be running inefficiently due to dirty ducts. While this is not a repair issue, the effects will make it seem like there is something wrong with the unit itself.
- Outside unit is dirty and cluttered. AC units may not work right when there is excessive shrubbery and leaves around the system. You can either trim or remove the shrubbery as well as clear any leaves or other clutter so that the air conditioner can have sufficient space to operate.
- Cracks and leaks in the envelope of the building. When there are leaks and cracks in the buildings envelope, the cool air has areas to escape which means it has to work overtime to cool the outdoors as well. One way to check for this is with a blower door test or thermal imaging device.
In order to avoid excessive repairs, make sure to have a regular maintenance plan so that you can have continuous service and reduce costly repairs. Call Comfort Services today at 803-772-4490 for all of your emergency air conditioning needs.
