Maintaining your air conditioning unit is essential to not only extend its lifespan but also to provide an efficient way of cooling your home. Here are some common air conditioning problems most AC repair services encounter and the reason behind them.
1. Bad Capacitor: Most of the time, this problem can be seen with the naked eye.
You can easily spot a bad capacitor if it has a bulge around it. Capacitors die with time but they can be replaced easily. The most common reason behind bad capacitors according to AC repair services is a very dirty condenser coil. Cleaning your condenser coil once a month should extend your capacitor’s life relatively longer.
2. Low Refrigerant: When your AC unit is experiencing low refrigerant, the most likely culprit is a leak. Depending on where the leaks are, it is the primary reason why your AC is low on refrigerant, An AC repair service will most likely go through the coils and pipe to see where it’s leaking. Once they found the leak, they’ll seal it back and refill your AC’s refrigerant system.
3. Water Leaking: This is another common AC problem most homeowners encounter. The likely culprit of this one is a hose that is connected from the drain fitting that causes the leak. Just clean the hose up and plug it back again.
