5 Common AC Problems
- Refrigerant Leak
Your AC may be running poorly, costing you more, and making strange noises which would all be a sign that your unit is leaking refrigerant. This requires the help of a professional HVAC technician to detect and stop the leak.
- Clogged Air Filter
Your air filter typically needs to be changed out every 1-2 months, depending on how heavily you use your AC unit. The longer you wait to change the air filters, the more likely you are to experience problems. Your unit may start overheating or consume more energy as it struggles to get fresh air from the intake duct.
- Electrical Problem
Air conditioners consume a lot of energy. They need to be properly set up to your home electrical system. If you notice your unit keeps shutting off, making a weird buzzing noise, or if it constantly keeps tripping the circuits, then you need to call a professional for help. It is likely to be an electrical issue.
- Efficiency Issues
If you are noticing your monthly energy bills being higher than usual, then there may be something wrong with your unit that will need to be repaired. Your AC should be cooling your home at a reasonable cost.
- Lukewarm Air
If you are feeling lukewarm or even warm air coming from your air vents, there is clearly something wrong. A variety of problems could be the cause; therefore, these issues need to be addressed by a professional.
