Common AC Repairs to Look For

AC-technician-and-client

Air conditioners have trouble all the time, but telling the difference between something like a refrigerant leak and a clogged filter is a bit more complicated. That’s where a professional technician can come into play. We’ve got the experience and the tools to boil these issues down to a science, finding the root of a problem and fixing it.

That being said, it couldn’t hurt to inform homeowners to the point where they can more accurately call us for help. Staying proactive with routine AC maintenance and inspections can minimize repair costs and keep your cooling system operating efficiently. Every problem has its source, and if a homeowner can provide us with the right details, as well as know what to expect when it comes to how expensive the repair will be, then the process of air conditioning repair in Winter Park, FL can be much smoother!

Keep reading and we’ll let you in on some of the more common AC problems we come across in our neck of the woods.

Most Common AC Issues

When we say “common,” what we mean is air conditioner issues that we see more regularly due to neglect or something simple that can be addressed easily. Problems that are more complex tend to take some time to figure out, and that can be its own category. Luckily, nine times out of 10, your air conditioner will be suffering from one of the following problems.

  • Refrigerant problems. Refrigerant is an integral part of the cooling process. If you notice recurring issues or your AC requires frequent recharging, this could signal a leak. You’ll want to review what to know about refrigerant leaks and why timely repair is critical.
  • Clogged air filter. We see this problem all the time, particularly because changing your air filter is one of the few maintenance steps that is supposed to be done by a homeowner! More often than not, inefficient performance stems from a neglected filter. Changing it regularly can improve airflow and reduce strain on your system. For more insight, explore how air filters impact AC performance and when to replace them.
  • Frozen coils. We’ve all seen those scenes in movies and tv shows where a panicking homemaker is using a hairdryer to melt the ice on the air conditioner so it keeps working. Steer clear from this type of situation and call a professional for help. Ice forming on your coils isn’t good, and it’s usually a sign of a refrigerant problem or something wrong with an interior component of the AC.

Notorious Issues

We mentioned these three problems in particular because they tend to be the most notorious issues we run into. There is a silver lining, however, which is that we see these problems so regularly that we’re always ready and able to fix them. AC problems can compound and turn incredibly expensive if they’re not addressed quickly. Call our team today for a targeted and appropriate approach.
