There are a number of common problems that can plague a residential AC system. At G&R, we’ve encountered nearly every issue under the sun, and we know how to fix your system quickly. If we’ve never seen the problem before, then you can count on us finding a solution as fast as we can.
Refrigerant is what cools the air as it moves through your air conditioning unit. If there’s a leak in the refrigerant line, then the result could be warm air being pushed through your home. It’s important to fix a leak in the refrigerant system as soon as possible, and our team knows how to find and repair the problem quickly.
The air filter for your AC unit is there to catch dust and debris as air passes through the system. If the filter becomes too dirty, then proper air flow could be impacted, and your system won’t be able to work at optimal capacity. It’s a good idea to check the manufacturer’s suggestion to see when your filter should be changed. There are some filter models that can be cleaned, but if you’re unsure where to start, then give us a call today.
The condensation that builds up as warm air is cooled has to go somewhere, which is why your AC unit has a condenser pan and a drainage line. If the drainage line becomes clogged, then the pan will fill and water can leak into parts of your system that you don’t want it to. This can lead to system damage that could be more costly to repair than a clogged drainage line. Should you notice this problem, please call us right away!
The compressor inside your AC is what provides energy for the refrigerant as it moves through the coils and cools the warm air. If something goes wrong with the compressor, then there won’t be enough energy for the refrigerant to cool the air, which can lead to a warm, uncomfortable house. Your system won’t be able to complete the proper heat exchange, and letting this go on for too long can lead to lasting damage.
Your AC unit runs off of electricity, and if there’s bad wiring or faulty connections somewhere in the system, then the result could be a series of failures. The contactors in the unit start the compressor, blower motor, and condenser fan, and if these contactors are worn or broken, then there won’t be enough electric current to start everything. If the wiring from the breaker is bad, then your system could overheat or not turn on at all.
