Air Conditioner Repair Available in Northern CA On a hot summer day, the last thing you want is for your air conditioner unit to stop working correctly. Even if you have a great AC unit, it’s likely you will run into some kind of issue every now and then, and when you do have an issue it’s important to have a professional contact who can take care of it quickly. Our company is proud to be one of the leading experts in HVAC and other home efficiency services in Northern California. We work on all types of heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems, and we provide installation, repair, maintenance and replacement services. Typically when we are called to check out an air conditioning unit which isn’t functioning, the cause falls into one of a few common categories. In the sections to follow, we will detail these common issues with AC units and discuss how we correct them. Freon Leaks AC units work by using a chemical known as Freon as a refrigerant to cool air and then force it through the home. When the Freon in a unit gets to a low enough level, the system will have to work overtime to cool and eventually it ices over, causing the cool air to stop flowing. A Freon leak can be quickly detected by our team members, and we can make a repair before adding new Freon to the system, which will get your unit up and running as intended immediately. Ducting Obstruction Your AC system uses ducts to carry cooled air through the home, and the ducts are very important to the effectiveness of the system. If your home feels warm in some rooms and cool in others, it’s possible there is a blockage in the ducts. We can assess ducts and ensure they’re operating as intended, and remove debris as needed to ensure proper air flow through the whole home. Clogged Condensation Line When air conditioning systems create cool air, there is residual moisture leftover through the process of condensation. This water is removed from your home via a pipe known as a condensation line. Over time, this pipe can become clogged with dirt or debris, causing the water to back up and potentially leak or shut the system down. By removing the blockage, we can allow the water to escape and the system to function properly. Electrical Issues Modern AC units rely on a host of sensors and electrical components to work properly, and sometimes these electrical items can work incorrectly. If your unit is short cycling, not cooling or not coming on at all, an electrical issue could be to blame. We’re well versed in electrical operations for AC systems and can correct these issues quickly. Don’t get left in the heat this summer if your AC unit experiences one of these common issues. We would love to be your go-to call for any heating or air conditioning needs.
