COMMON AIR CONDITIONER PROBLEMS

With the summer fast approaching, it is time to check whether the air conditioner is working properly or not. The severe heat can only become bearable due to air conditioning. The cool air circulated by the system make us dread the hot sun outside. This is the sun we miss during winters. To ensure that your air conditioner is working smoothly, it is always best to get a maintenance check done every now and then. The professionals from AirMakers will carry out a thorough check to ensure that it is working correctly. During this, they will also find any issues which might arise. Some of the problems can be repaired, and others can’t. Following are some of the common issues with the air conditioner that can be replaced.

Leaking refrigerant

To cool the room, the air conditioner makes use of the refrigerant. Sometimes it can leak which can put you or your loved one at high risk. When there is a leak in the refrigerant, the air conditioner ceases to cool properly. Such a leak can be easily repaired. After that, the refrigerant will be refiled. Many times, the experts can spot the early signs of potential leaks and fix them before it goes out of hand. Hence, you must carry out regular maintenance checks.

Improper Maintenance

As stated multiple times above, it is essential to maintain the system. When there is a failure to do so, it can cause the AC to break down often. Sometimes this could be due to the age of the air conditioner. This can be determined by inspecting the unit. When the system is thoroughly inspected every now and then, it will enable it to work correctly for a long time. It also helps to keep the unit clean as debris can begin to accumulate which can stop the motor fan from working.

Failure in electric control

There are high chances of electrical failure. This usually happens when the unit overworks to cool the room. In this situation, the constant on and off cycles can take a toll. Electric failures are common when the unit is left on throughout the day. This increased load can wear out the compressor and the fan. If the wire terminals start rusting, the AC can also lose power. Though electrical problems can be repaired in most situations, the repair is often expensive. Sometimes the damage caused to the unit is beyond repair. The experts will inform you of the repair options if any are available.

Drainage Problem

There is a water drainage outlet in the back of the air conditioning unit. This outlet often becomes clogged if it isn’t cleaned every now and then. When it is blocked, there can be excess moisture in your room. It could also stain the walls. As humid conditions have been created in the room, it could also cause mould to grow. When there is a drainage problem, you must get it repaired as soon as possible, as it could damage the AC.
