Common A/C Problems
There isn’t much worse than being stuck in the Richmond area’s heat and humidity without a working air conditioner.
There are a host of reasons why your air conditioning may not be properly cooling your home.
Before you panic and work up more of a sweat, check a few of the basics.
Hopefully, it’s as simple as an improperly set thermostat or a clogged air filter. If not, Carroll Plumbing & Heating Inc. can take care of it. Read on to learn why your air conditioning might be malfunctioning.
The Unit is low, or void, of refrigerant
If the air conditioning unit is no longer blowing cold air, it may need a refrigerant charge. Only after an inspection of the A/C unit, and identification of a leak, should an A/C repair technician add more refrigerant to your unit.
You have thermostat troubles
Although small and discrete, a thermostat is the main control center of your cooling system. Discrepancies in settings can be the source of disrupted cooling cycles. There may also be an electrical disconnect somewhere between the unit and thermostat. This should be checked out by an HVAC technician.
How to choose the best thermostat for your home.
There is a lack of essential maintenance
Sometimes easily overlooked everyday things are to blame for lack of cold air. Clogged air filters, obstructions around the outdoor unit, and blocked air vents are several reasons for cooling problems.
What you can do to prevent cooling inefficiencies.
You have aging, malfunctioning equipment
Another potential diagnosis is that your condenser fan or compressor is damaged and requires repair. This is easy for a professional to locate and fix. In other cases, it may be suggested that your cooling equipment is beyond the expected lifespan to meet your cooling needs efficiently.
