Keeping Your HVAC System In Great Condition
Answering Three Common Questions About Air Conditioning Problems
Herbert Franklin
An air conditioning system can easily be one of the most expensive appliances that you own. While these systems are normally extremely reliable at cooling your home on hot days, they can experience some issues that may compromise their performance. In order to make sure that you are as prepared as possible to care for your home's air conditioning system, you should have a thorough understanding about these commonly asked questions.
Why Would Your Unit Start To Lose The Ability To Effectively Cool Air?
A major problem that your air conditioning may experience is a loss of the ability to provide cooled air for your home. This problem can occur due to the gradual breakdown of the coolant, or the system may have sprung a leak. When one of these problems arises, you will need to contact a professional technician to inspect the coolant. In instances where the coolant is low, it will be necessary to test the system for leaks. While this may seem time consuming, it can be done fairly quickly, as the technician will simply pressurize the system and look for visible leaks.
What Happens If The Condensation Drain Becomes Clogged?
Your air conditioning's exterior unit is fitted with a drain. This drain is essential to allow condensation from inside the air conditioner to drain away. As time passes, it may be possible for this drain to become clogged. When this happens, it can be possible for the interior of the air conditioner to suffer extensive damage from flooding. In fact, if it suffers this type of damage, it may be necessary to replace many of the electric components, and this can prove to be very costly. In order to prevent this type of damage from occurring, you will want to inspect the drain every couple of weeks and remove any debris that may have started to gather in it.
How Can You Tell If The Blower Is Starting To Fail?
The primary blower is responsible for distributing cooled air throughout your home. However, this part of the air conditioning system may also be subjected to the most wear and tear due to the number of moving parts in it. When your system's blower fails, the air conditioner will be unable to effectively cool your house until it is either repaired or replaced. To avoid having to go without a working air conditioner when this part fails, you should contact a professional technician whenever you notice that the system is making grinding or banging sounds. Also, a sudden drop in the amount of air coming from your vents may also indicate an issue with the blower.
