5 of the Most Common Problems that Lead to Air Conditioner Service

May 21, 2015

With summer on the horizon, now is the time to think about any air conditioner service you might need to have performed to keep your home comfortable. There are a number of things you can look for when contemplating air conditioner service, but some issues are more common than others.

Even if you recently had your annual spring maintenance performed, you should still look out for these four likely problems if your air conditioner is acting up.

  1. Air Conditioner Not Cooling Like it Used To
    This may indicate there is leaking refrigerant. If you feel there’s a problem here you’ll want to call in qualified professionals, like J & J Air Conditioning in Eastland. This way, you’ll be certain your system is properly repaired and running at its best. Not only will this make certain the leak is corrected, but the refrigerant charge will be matched to the manufacturer’s exact specifications, ensuring the optimal operation.
  2. Inadequate maintenance
    When your air conditioner’s filters and coils get clogged with dirt and grime you’ll see a noticeable decrease in your system’s efficiency, and potentially many other problems if you don’t have them changed or cleaned. J & J Air Conditioning can perform regular maintenance on your air conditioner to ensure it’s clean and running well.
  3. Cycling too frequently
    If you feel that your air conditioner cycles on and off frequently, it could be a indication it’s time to have a professional inspect your system and look over the wiring while they’re there to look for corrosion and confirm the system is wired properly. Another possible reason an air conditioner may cycle on and off frequently could be that your system isn’t the proper size for your home. If this is the case, you may also notice that your home is too humid. Since this situation could be caused by many factors, it’s best to deal with professionals as qualified as the team at J & J Air Conditioning.
  4. Drainage
    Your system was made to take care of draining the condensation that it creates during the cooling process. Mold and mildew troubles can manifest if the drain becomes clogged, and this can lead to bigger problems.

Even if your air conditioner is newer, it can develop problems when it’s used regularly. Your system will be operating at its peak during the summer. If you run into problems or need to schedule regular, preventive maintenance to keep it running, call J & J Air Conditioning in Eastland at 254-355-3833.
