Air Conditioner Services Available in Northern CA

Your air conditioning system’s condenser unit plays a crucial role in the removal of warm air from your home so it can be replaced with fresh cool air. When there is an issue with the condenser, your unit might be less effective than normal or it might not work at all. Many people aren’t familiar with the common problems which can impact a condenser, so it’s important to know a professional contractor who can address these issues when they arise. Our company is proud to offer a full line of HVAC and home efficiency services for people all over Northern California. We employ a team of certified and experienced technicians who are experienced in working on all types of heating and cooling units, and we offer install, repair, maintenance and replacement services. In today’s article, we will seek to provide some valuable information on how condensers work and how we address their most common issues.

Freon Leaks

Freon is a chemical which is present in all air conditioning systems. It acts as a refrigerant and plays a crucial role in keeping your home cool when the weather is hot. Freon can leak through the pipes which transport it through the system, and when this happens the unit has to work overtime to cool your home. In time, a unit with low Freon will begin to form ice and eventually the condenser will freeze over, meaning no cool air can be produced. Our team can quickly address this issue by locating and repairing the leak, and then refilling the system back up with Freon.

Limited Airflow

Air conditioner units are responsible for drawing in fresh air, conditioning it, forcing it through the home and then expelling warm air. As you can imagine, this process involves a lot of airflow and obstructions can cause issues. For condensing units, airflow issues are a result of items which obstruct airflow from outside of the outdoor unit. Whether it’s an overgrown plant, a decorative fence or other obstacle, when airflow is limited it will cause issues with the condenser.

Damaged Fan

If you look at an outdoor AC unit, you will likely notice the large fan which is responsible for airflow. These fans experience a great deal of wear and tear, and while they are generally reliable they are susceptible to issues over time. Sometimes the fan can become off balance, blades can warp or even become removed from the fan. In this case, we can check the fan and make replacements where needed to get it running correctly again.

Electrical Issues

Modern AC units have many sensors and electrical components which dictate how often they run and at what capacity they run. If these sensors are damaged or not working properly, it can lead to problems with the condenser’s performance. Luckily, our team members are well versed in electrical issues and can make repairs quickly. If you’re looking for the perfect partner to help correct any issues with your air conditioning system, we’re here to help.
