Common air conditioner problems

•  Refrigerant leaks can happen with vibration of the unit while it is operating.

• If the leak is found the technician can remove what is left and charge the unit levels back to their correct amount

•  If the thermostat requires calibration, contact a service professional.• Before calling an HVAC company, make sure the thermostat is on.  Many

times the thermostat is accidentally turned off or is on the wrong setting.

• If the unit is undercharged with refrigerant, the compressor will run hot and will eventually seize. 

• If the unit is overcharged, your liquid refrigerant will get back to the compressor and cause liquid slugging. 

Frozen coils are easily recognizable because the pipes and unit will usually be frozen solid in a block of ice. This causes circulation problems.

• One of the most common causes of A/C failure is that the grills are blocked.• Dirty A/C units wont operate at peak efficiency, and simple cleaning like this

can help restore a unit back to like new status.

•  Fuses protect the unit's motor or compressor against overheating, and is found in the evaporator coil.

• When a motor is suspected of going bad, the breaker is one of the first things the technician checks.

• One possible reason that HVAC systems blow warm air is dirty filters.

• The system is producing cold air but it cannot flow through the ductwork. Clean air filters protect your equipment and help it perform properly. 

• Occasionally, air conditioners will start to make loud (sometimes deafening) banging or wailing noises. If this happens, most of the time it is the result of a dislodged fan belt.

• This fix is not difficult, but because this is high powered electrical equipment, you will need a licensed professional to fix it. You should not switch on the air conditioner until it’s been fixed – doing so could cause far more damage.
