Common air conditioning problems

Common problems with existing air conditioners result from faulty installation, poor service procedures, and inadequate maintenance. When your air conditioner is on the fritz, there could be a number of things wrong with it. However, in order to get it back up and running properly as soon as possible, you could try troubleshooting a couple of simple fixes.

Problems with the Sensor

The sensor is located near the evaporating coil. Its role is to measure the air’s temperature in the evaporating coil and change the cooling based on the room’s conditions. A broken sensor can result in making the home cooler or warmer than intended.

Compressor and Air Fans Wear Out

There are a few things that can malfunction with a condenser and cause operational issues with your air conditioner. The condenser is a key component to the successful operation of your air conditioner and will require the help of an expert.

Drain Problems

Central air conditioners produce something other than cool comfort: water, lots of it. Because dry air holds less heat energy, humidity extraction is a critical part of an efficient air conditioning process.

Refrigeration Leaks

If your air conditioner is low on refrigerant, either it was undercharged at installation or it leaks. If it leaks, simply adding refrigerant is not a solution. A trained technician should fix any leak, test the repair, and then charge the system with the correct amount of refrigerant.
