Things To Understand When Considering Air Conditioning Repairs

Nobody ever wants to deal with a scorching home with a broken air conditioner. When this happens, you might be tempted to trying to fix the AC yourself. However, keep in mind that a HVAC repair company will have all the experience needed to make the repair. And, you will save a lot of your own time and aggravation. Understanding what needs to be handled by a trained technician can help you save your sanity and your time. Below is a list of typical air conditioning repairs that our technicians encounter.

Does Your House Or Air Conditioner Have Power?

Believe it or not, we get two or three calls from homeowners yearly where we show up only to learn that the house and maybe even the whole neighborhood has no power. This is embarrassing and it causes some tensions when the service technician wants to collect payment for a service call just to say, "Call us back when the power comes on." To avoid this circumstance, don't forget to check that your a/c unit has electricity.

Sky High Energy Bills

Have you noticed that your electrical bills are escalating at alarming rates? Does each summer bring outrageous cooling bills? While electricity costs tend to go up rather than down, the increases should not be terribly dramatic. Cooling and heating bills are a major component of most family's budget. However if these bills grow excessively, it can be indicator that your HVAC system will need to be replaced.

Irregular Cooling

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

The Unit Continues To Come On And Off

A cooling system that frequently cycles on and off is not typical. In fact, this can cause damage to your air conditioner. It is recommended that the system be shut down while waiting on a repair. This is to prevent more components from being damaged. Frequently this situation is caused by a faulty control board or relay problem.

Your AC Doesn't Sound Right

Of the different strange sounds an AC can make, rattling is one of the most common. We have often make service calls for rattling air conditioning. If you start hearing your air conditioner rattle, consult with us, and we will get right out to you to discover what the trouble is and fix it before it turns into bigger trouble.

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

Loose dirt and debris in the unit can make strange sounds. The hvac cabinet should be as tidy as possible. When the nearby area is not kept clean, debris can enter. When this happens, a repair should be called as soon as possible. This type of dirt can cause a lot damage. The best plan is to clean the debris and to avoid future issues by cleaning up the exterior space.
