If you are experiencing a broken AC unit, this could be from normal wear and tear. Your AC works hard to provide you with the comfort you are looking for. Over the years, parts may start to break down due to normal use. If you are having problems with your unit, contact McNorton Mechanical Contractors. We will send one of our techs over to inspect your unit. With our years of experience, we will be able to quickly identify the problem and offer you the best solution for fixing it.
Three easy things to check when it comes to your AC not working include the filter, thermostat, and breakers. If you have a clogged or dirty filter it may reduce air flow which can cause the unit to freeze. When you check the thermostat, check to make sure the batteries are not dead, and the program is running. Breakers may have tripped causing the unit to turn off.
Other common air conditioning problems include:
Leaks
- The unit will not run properly if there are leaks, especially if the coolant is leaking. If the air in your home is not as cold as it should be, it might be an indication of a refrigerant leak.
Drainage
- Drain lines may become clogged over time with dirt and dust. You may notice leaking and flooding around your unit from mold and other clogs.
Capacitors
- There is a start capacitor and a run capacitor in every AC. If either of the burn out, your AC will not run efficiently.
Compressor
- If the compressor is not working, your AC will not work, and the compressor could seize up.
Evaporator
Coils
- Coils may become corroded over time.
Condenser
Coils
- These coils may become dirty and need to be cleaned with a special cleaner.
