We’re all
used to the summer’s scorching temperatures here in the valley of the sun. We
rely on air conditioning to survive it year after year. You know the game; dashing
from one air conditioned area to the next air conditioned area, using your
shirt to grab handles that have been baking in the sun’s heat, sun shades in car
windows and oven mitts on hand to drive until the AC cools down the inside of
your vehicle. But if the temps in your home or business start climbing when you
have your air conditioner running, we start to panic. Not to worry though, it
could be due to some common problems putting a strain on your air conditioning system.
The number
one issue is usually a lack of adequate maintenance to your system. To
keep your air conditioner running efficiently requires regular maintenance. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends that you use a qualified technician that
can properly inspect and repair your air conditioning system. Using someone who
is not qualified can exacerbate problems rather than fix them. Here are
some common air conditioner problems that a reputable technician will look for
when servicing your system:
- Refrigerant leaks
- Inadequate maintenance
- Electric control failure
- Sensor problems
- Drainage problems
In addition
to having your AC unit serviced, be sure to change out your air filters every
month. Air filters clog with dust and particles quickly which cause your system
to work harder to keep an adequate airflow moving through your home. Make
sure that when your air conditioner is on, you close your home's windows and
outside doors.
