It is important to find a trusted, quality AC repair service before disaster strikes. There are many things that can go wrong with your AC system. Murphy’s Law says they’ll all happen on a triple-digit day. Our expert comfortologists here at Home Service Doctors explain all the potential warning signs. These four tell-tale signs of trouble can keep you alert to pending failures and help you stay on top of AC repair. Immediate, quality repairs can help you avoid a costly replacement service down the road.
- Low Coolant Levels: The coolant in your AC unit does just what its name implies – it cools the air. To do so efficiently, your unit must have the correct level of coolant in place. Low coolant levels can happen because of customary use, unexpected leaks, or exterior damage to the unit. Coolant leaks should be uncovered and repaired as soon as possible by an AC pro. Low coolant level hampers your AC’s ability to function correctly – and often at all.
- Faulty Circuit Breaker: Another common cause of AC failure is an overloaded circuit breaker or a blown fuse. Check these two areas in the event your AC suddenly shuts down. Reset the circuit breaker or change the fuse and you may be able to temporarily solve the problem. You’ll still need to call our experts in and let us ensure you have the right-sized unit for your home. A unit that frequently overloads your electrical system indicates a problem that can also pose a safety hazard and should not be ignored.
- Testy Thermostat: Does your air conditioner frequently cycle itself on and off? Do you constantly find yourself adjusting your thermostat to cool your home? Your air conditioner cycles itself on and off based on the temperature on your thermostat. A thermostat that isn’t working correctly and cannot maintain a steady, comfortable temperature in your home can lead to higher utility bills and higher frustration levels.
- Forgotten Filter: It’s easy to forget about the filter that keeps your AC unit running smoothly. Dirty filters do more than allow pollutants into your home; they can cause your unit to use more energy than it typically needs. Changing the filter on a regular basis is a fast, simple way to maintain the best functionality of your AC system.
Routine maintenance and regular care of your AC unit will bring years of reliable use that keeps your family comfortable and your home running efficiently.
