Is There Electrical Power To The House?

Often times, our technicians are dispatched to a house that has no power. In these cases, homeowners are embarrassed. Also, they are not happy when they get billed for a service call. To avoid this circumstance, be sure to check that your air conditioner has electricity.

Increasing Electrical Bills

Does it seem like your electricity costs are constantly rising? Does each summer bring outrageous cooling bills? While electricity charges tend to go up in lieu of down, the increases should not be terribly dramatic. If your energy bills seem to be out of control, the odds are high that your central air conditioning system is at least partially responsible.

Unequal Cooling

Do areas in your house encourage you to remain in different parts of the home given that they are more comfortable? Are there rooms at home that don't seem to get cool at all? Irregular cooling is a clear sign of inefficient air conditioning system operation. It is true that direct sunlight and second-story areas tend to be hotter than other sections of the home. However, a proficient central air conditioning system should be able to make them enjoyable.

The Unit Continues To Come On And Off

An air conditioner or heat pump that is cycling off and instantly back on or cycling off and on every 10 seconds is unusual and is likely to harm the equipment. To prevent further damage, we recommend that the air conditioner be turned off. More often than not this situation is caused by a faulty control board or relay problem.

Loose panels on the air handler can also create sounds. This is the simplest explanation for a rattling sound. Sometimes the panels on the cabinet housing the condenser or the evaporator will become dislodged due to screws that have loosened or weren't screwed tight enough after the panel was opened. Before taking into consideration other issues, make sure the panels are secure.

Debris also causes odd noises. The air conditioner cabinet should be as tidy as possible. But if the air filter becomes clogged, or the outdoor unit does not have a clear area around it, then dirt, gravel, leaves, sticks, and other small items can enter the cabinet and start getting knocked around. This requires immediate attention. This kind of dirt can cause a lot damage. Therefore, it is wise to find out how the debris got in to prevent it from happening again.
