Air Conditioner Repair

Nobody wants to come home to a hot and stuffy home at the end of a long day. In fact, for most of us, home comfort starts as soon as we walk in the door and feel that cool, familiar air conditioning. But when your home’s central air conditioning just can’t seem to keep the heat at bay, your home starts to feel a whole lot less inviting. If you’re experiencing central air conditioner issues, read on to learn more about central air conditioning, possible needed repairs, and why A/C Masters is the right choice for your HVAC needs.

What is Central Air Conditioning?

There are two types of central air conditioning systems which include split systems (not to be confused with mini-splits aka ductless systems) and packaged systems. The split system requires components outside of your home as well as inside. The outside component contains the condenser (also commonly known as an air conditioner or heat pump) which removes heat from indoors whereas the inside of your home is equipped with an air handler (electric) or furnace (gas) used to handle the air. Copper tubing is what allows the refrigerant to flow between the outside and inside equipment. A packaged unit includes all of the parts aforementioned, however, it’s all packaged into one unit placed outside of your home. Both split systems and packaged systems are controlled by a thermostat and require ductwork. Central air conditioning provides cool air throughout your home and keeps humidity levels in check.

What Types of Air Conditioning Repairs May Be Needed?

As briefly explained above, a central air conditioning system includes multiple parts which need maintenance and at times, repairs. Clogged air filters, damaged or dirty coils, sensor issues, drainage problems, and refrigerant leaks are just some of the many common issues that can cause your system to work harder, cost more, and fail more often. 

If you’re noticing any of the following signs, a checkup is highly recommended:

  • Persistently high home temperatures
  • Warm or room temperature air when the system calls for cooling
  • Noticeable lack of airflow from your returns
  • Thermostat or control panel continuously calling for cooling
  • System frequently cycling on and off
  • Stuffy or stale air within the home
  • Weird and/or loud noises
  • Abnormally high energy bills

How do Air Conditioner Repairs Come About?

Similar to any piece of machinery your air conditioning system can experience wear and tear especially during peak seasons. If you’ve ever owned a car, you know the importance of routine maintenance, especially before a long road trip or family vacation. The same principles apply to your central air conditioner. As the days get hotter and the sun sets later, your system has to work longer and harder to continue to function. Compare that to your car after multiple days of cruising down the interstate. In fact, if there is a fault in your unit, these periods of continuous use are going to put additional strain on your system. The result is that it is much more likely that your minor issue could blow up into a major problem. Luckily, our team of professionals can repair any make or model of HVAC system.

What Can I do to Avoid the Need for Air Conditioning Repairs?

It is generally recommended that you have your equipment serviced annually by a qualified technician. Furthermore, it is suggested to service your air conditioner in spring and your heater in the fall. By doing so, you are minimizing or even eliminating the risk of major system malfunction during the hottest and coldest parts of the year. These kinds of regular checkups will not only help your system run smoothly but can also dramatically decrease your energy bill.
