Common Types of Air Conditioner Problems

If you’re having problems with your air conditioning system, it may be experiencing one of the common home A/C repair issues below.

Broken Compressor Fan

Your home cooling system’s outside unit houses your fan, compressor and condenser coils. These essential parts work to release heat from the air, transferring it out of your home to produce a cool indoor climate inside. If the outdoor fan isn’t working properly, the heat transfer process is inhibited. This prevents your AC from adequately cooling your residence, while a broken fan can cause the unit’s compressor to overheat. An overheated compressor could trip the air conditioner’s safety features, causing your air conditioner to shut down. Additionally, overheating can also damage the compressor itself, which is an expensive part, requiring an A/C repair or compressor replacement.

Drainage Issues

An air conditioner’s cooling process causes condensation, which usually flows away from the equipment. However, if there is a clog in the drip pan or condensate drain lines, or if outdoor humidity levels are high, moisture may back up into your air conditioning equipment. Excess condensation will increase indoor humidity levels and affect the air conditioner’s performance negatively. It can also cause damage to your unit’s various components.

Frozen Condenser Coils

If your system’s condenser coils freeze up, the A/C unit will fail to run properly. Poor airflow through your cooling system can cause ice to form on the AC coils. Usually, blockages are the culprit here — like dirty air filters or blocked return air ducts. Low refrigerant could also be the reason for frozen coils, which means you’ll need a professional to recharge your refrigerant levels. In any case, our AC repair technicians can diagnose the problem causing frozen coils, resolve it, and safely thaw your coils to restore cooling in your home.

Refrigerant Leak

Air conditioners use refrigerant, which enables the system to run efficiently, releasing heat from the air to cool it. They are charged with refrigerant upon installation. Nevertheless, a poor charge or a refrigerant leak can cause the system’s refrigerant level to drop below the proper amount needed. To fix this, we can recharge your refrigerant, which should only be done by a professional, accompanied by repairing the leak that caused it to begin with.

“Should I Repair or Replace My A/C?”

When home HVAC equipment breaks down, fixing it can be quite expensive. And, if you find yourself having to fix it more often, you may wonder whether it’s better to repair or replace your system. Below we list seven essential questions and answers that will help you decide whether to repair or replace your air conditioner.

"What’s the Projected Cost Of Repairs?"

This is generally the main factor when looking for something new. A lot of experts recommend a new furnace and new air conditioner if the repair is more than $800. But, if the system is only 6 years old, $800 doesn’t seem that bad of investment to squeeze a few more years of life out of your system. With this in mind, it’s good to look at both the age and the cost of the repair. If the home cooling system is more than 10 years old and it’s going to cost more than $800 to repair you should take a serious look at replacing the unit

There’s also the 50 Percent Rule: When the cost of repairs approaches 50 percent of the value of the unit, it’s usually time to replace the system.

"How Old Is My A/C?"

When an A/C gets older than 10 years old, it might be time to begin planning for replacement. Having said that, it’s obvious there are more factors than just age but this can be a good guide to whether you should start considering something new or not.
Factors you should consider with age is the unit’s reliability, it’s history and efficiency, and how well it has been maintained over the years.

"How Efficient is my Heat Pump?"

The SEER rating is usually located on the side of the air conditioner. The higher the number, the more efficient the A/C is. Often, home cooling systems that are more than 10 years old are outdated in terms of energy efficiency, so your current A/C could be costing more on your utility bills. For help determining how much you can save, give us a call!

"What Will My Budget Cover?"

To make this determination, you will have to crunch the numbers and see what you can afford. When you balance the cost to repair or replace an A/C, usually the repair has a lower upfront price tag. However, our financing options, rebates, and special offers, combined with your potential savings on fuel bills, can turn furnace replacement into a much more budget-friendly option.
