Repair And Maintenance

AC companies build durable, top quality products that last a long time. However, at some point,

because of years of use, incorrect installation, or poor care, your ACwill fail. In the following

paragraphs are a few usual air conditioning unit troubles that consumers encounter.

Leaking refrigerant

Air conditioning systems do not lose refrigerant unless there is a leak. If your air conditioner's

refrigerant is leaking, it cannot be simply remedied by topping it up. A qualified technician can

fix any leak, test the repair performed, and then charge the AC with the ample amount of Freon.

Poor upkeep

One reason why air conditioners fail sooner than is

appropriate is the build up of dust and debris in the

unit. A dusty Air conditioner often produces

insufficient cooling. It is also possible that the fan

may remain operational, but the unit fails to cool, or

the machine switches on and off over and over

again. Eliminate dust and debris from your AC’s coils and fins, and change its filter, if needed.

Sensor problems

Air conditioning systems have a thermostat sensor, which are often found behind the control

panel. This sensor senses the air temperature that enters into the evaporative coil. If the sensor is

displaced, or if it lies on the evaporative coil, it can behave erratically. To remedy this, slowly

and carefully bend the wire it is mounted to and return it to its proper position. If you are unsure,

contact a professional.

Winter damage

Throughout the winter months, air conditioning systems, especially room models, have to be

protected from ice and snow. Either detach the unit from where it is mounted and store it until

the end of the winter months, or cover the equipment with heavy and sturdy plastic sheeting,

secured in place by using duct tape.

Exercise Caution: Prior to doing any work on your air conditioner, turn it off and ensure that it is

not plugged. Air conditioners have one or two capacitors

that store electricity even when the unit is already turned

off. So ensure that you permit the unit to discharge first

before you start any repair or maintenance work. Follow

If you want to have your AC repaired or just need a yearly professional checkup and

maintenance of your unit, bear the following in mind. Before hiring one, compare prices and

service bundles so you can get the best offer. Get three to five quotes and make sure that these

are comprehensive and promises are made in writing. Research about the company you plan to

employ, by speaking with past customers or checking if there are complaints against them. Also

ask if the contractor has the required licenses and insurance policies.
