What causes AC issues
The AC unit is a delicate piece of machinery. Any lack of attention and the entire unit could be forced to go into repairs or completely replaced. Some of the issues causing your unit to have problems are not always obvious, as they could be taking place somewhere in the middle of the unit, away from humans’ eyes. But when you notice strange noises, water leaks, or a lack of air being blown into your residence, these are signs that something is wrong. Some of the causes of these issues and more include:
- Low refrigerant
- Dirty condenser coil
- Leaking ducts
- Clogged drains
- Fan problems
Any of these issues could be why your unit is not working to its full capacity. Some of these issues can be obvious, while others may require a professional diagnosis. If these issues are not dealt with, they could lead to further issues and the complete collapse of your unit, requiring you to get a new one.
How to prevent AC issues
To avoid any of the issues mentioned above, it is important to have a technician perform yearly maintenance of your unit and to have them run a diagnosis to ensure there are no issues they are unaware of. It is recommended they come out once a year, but it can be as many times as you see fit. HVAC technicians know how to spot and fix an issue when it arises. During maintenance, they may be able to see an issue they were not called out for and will be able to give you your list of options as far as repairs are concerned.
