3 Common Air Conditioner Problems That Require Emergency Repair
As a rule, you don’t want to ignore any air conditioner problem. However, not everything requires calling a professional for emergency repair, but these are the three that absolutely cannot wait.
Compressor Malfunction
The air conditioner’s compressor is the mechanism that pumps refrigerant through the system and ensures smooth operation. If the compressor fails, it can cause the air conditioner to short cycle, causing excess wear and tear and can lead to premature failure.
Leaking Refrigerant
The refrigerant is the liquid that allows the air conditioner to do its job; without it, you don’t get cold air. If your system starts leaking refrigerant, you’ll notice that the air conditioner must work harder and harder to maintain the temperature until you don’t get any cold air at all.
Frozen Coil
The evaporator coil is the part that allows the refrigerant to absorb the heat from the indoor air, which is how the air conditioner keeps you cool. If the coil becomes dirty or lacks refrigerant, it will cause condensation to form, which eventually freezes. If you don’t fix this problem quickly, it can permanently damage the coil, requiring replacement.
If you notice any of these or anything else unusual happening with your air conditioner, call Central Heating for emergency AC service.
How To Know When To Replace Your Air Conditioner
Although your AC system is built to run reliably for many years, it won’t last forever. The lifespan of your system depends on many factors, including how well-maintained it is and how hard it works.
While no one likes the thought of replacing an expensive air conditioning system, eventually, it must be done, and here are the most common signs that a central AC installation is in your immediate future.
Age
The most common sign that your air conditioner is ready for the scrap heap is its age. The typical lifespan of an HVAC system is between 10 and 18 years, provided you keep it well-maintained. Once a system nears the end of its useful life, it’s better to plan on replacing it than to continue throwing money away in expensive repairs.
Higher Energy Bills
As your air conditioner gets older and parts become more difficult to replace, it works harder to provide the same temperature as before, which requires more energy. Instead of continuing to pay soaring energy bills, it’s better to invest in a new, more energy-efficient system.
Increased Repair Frequency
If you notice that you’re calling a professional every year to fix an air conditioner issue, it’s a good sign that it’s time to upgrade to a more reliable unit than waste money on a system that’s past its prime.
To keep your air conditioner running as long as possible, contact us and ask about our maintenance packages.
