Do You Need Air Conditioning Repair?
Maintaining an air conditioner in a hot, humid area
can present a unique set of problems. The air conditioner is probably
the hardest working appliance in a home, running at least nine
months out of the year and always under extreme humidity. This produces
air conditioning problems due to wear and tear including (but not limited
to) refrigerant leakage, heat sensor failure, clogged drains, and electrical
malfunction. Most, if not all, of these problems can be avoided with proper
maintenance.
Refrigerant leakage
If you feel that the air is blowing but your house is not cooling, you
likely have low levels of refrigerant. However, the solution may not be
as simple as refilling your unit with refrigerant. In most cases, low
refrigerant levels are a result of a leakage somewhere in the system.
Fixing this leakage is vital to maintain the health of your air conditioning
unit. Even if there is no leakage and you choose to refill it yourself,
knowing how much to put into your unit is not an easy task. To avoid causing
further damage to your unit, call an air conditioning repair service.
Clogged drains, heat sensor failure, and electrical malfunction
Unfortunately, many air conditioner problems are not easily diagnosed.
Clogged drains, bad heat sensors, and damaged electrical systems can all
cause the air conditioning unit to shut down. All of these problems require
plumbing and electrical know-how to diagnose and fix safely. For your
own protection, it is best to rely on an air conditioning repair
service to get your unit running again, like Del-Air.
