Common Air Conditioning Issues and Repairs

An air conditioner uses several components to cool your home by transferring heat from the inside to the outside environment. The components that work together to facilitate the cooling process include the following:

  • Evaporator

  • Blower

  • Condenser

  • Compressor

  • Fan

  • Filter

  • Thermostat

The compressor is a pump that moves refrigerant between the evaporator and the condenser to transfer heat and cool the indoor air. The evaporator, located in the indoor unit, is made up of cooling coils in which refrigerant flows, removing the heat and humidity from the air. A blower or fan disperses and circulates the chilled air produced from the removal of the heat into the inside of the home. The condenser, located in the outdoor unit, contains coils that receive the heated air from the evaporator. With the help of a fan, the condenser releases the collected heat into the outside air. A filter removes particles from the air while the thermostat regulates the amount of cool air the units distribute.

Some common air conditioning issues can emerge if the coils in either the indoor or outdoor unit are dirty, the refrigerant is frozen, or the filter is clogged. Freezing happens when the refrigerant flowing through the evaporator can't extract the necessary heat to take to the condenser, either because the coils are dirty or the refrigerant levels are too low. When these conditions occur, the refrigerant temperature can drop below 32 degrees, causing ice to form on the evaporator coils.

Signs Your A/C Needs Immediate Repair

If you see the thermostat temperature creeping higher despite having the air conditioner on or electricity bills seem higher than usual, these are sure signs that something is wrong with the air conditioning system. Insufficient airflow, caused by blocked or leaky air ducts or clogged filters, can impede the operation of an A/C system. In addition, a failing compressor or motor can also cause minimal airflow.

Another sign of trouble with your A/C system is liquid leaking around your indoor unit. If the liquid is water, this can be an indication of frozen evaporator coils that are producing excessive condensation. However, if you see leakage and the indoor temperature is warmer than it should be, this could indicate refrigerant leakage and must be attended to immediately by A/C repair Central Long Island experts.

A/C Repairs You Can Do Yourself

Some A/C work should only be performed by licensed technicians or professional electricians. However, there are a few repairs you can do yourself, provided you're following all of the instructions and safety guidelines.

Replacing Filters

If your A/C isn't blowing as much air as it used to, or the air is warm, check the filters. It's easy to forget about filters when they're shut inside your vents. However, they are essential and must be properly maintained.

See how much dust and other things has accumulated on your A/C filters since you last replaced it. It can be pretty eye-opening to see how filthy it's become. Although filters bring contaminants out of your air, they have their limits. Clean out your filters every month and replace them every 90 days if you don't have pets, and every 60 days if you do.

Cleaning Coils

Your A/C has coils in its outdoor and indoor units. These are both crucial for the heat exchange that allows your A/C to cool your house. If your coils are dirty, your A/C can't function as well. They tend to get dirty much like filters do, accumulating dust and other contaminants. Air will have trouble flowing between the coils, resulting in a much-less effective A/C.

Fortunately, you don't need to do a lot to keep your coils clean. Simple household products work as cleaner, such as detergent and compressed air. There are also cleaners available specifically for coils. If you want the best coil cleaning possible, call 1-800-Plumber +Air of Central Long Island.

Cleaning Outdoor Unit

If you're already cleaning the condenser coils in your outdoor unit (also known as the "condenser unit"), check out what else is happening around your unit. Are the fins dirty, and is there overgrowth in the surrounding area? While you can't keep your unit 100 percent clean all the time, you can take simple measures to clean it up.

After shutting off power to the system, spray down the unit lightly with a garden hose, both inside and outside. Vacuum the fins as well, and pull off any other natural debris in or around the system. Set aside a day for cleaning at the beginning of spring to help your A/C enter the new warm period in excellent shape.

Unfreeze Coils

Your A/C can become literally frozen thanks to refrigerant on evaporator coils freezing. This can occur due to your evaporator coil being dirty, refrigerant levels being low, and clogged air ducts/filters. If your refrigerant is unable to obtain the necessary heat for the cooling process, your whole system is liable to suffer.

To unfreeze your coils, shut off your thermostat to prevent further refrigerant flow, and turn on the fan to warm up your coils and help melt the ice. Depending on how much ice is on your unit, it could take a day for your unit to fully thaw. You should also check your filters and coils to see if they need cleaning or replacing. Check for any signs of refrigerant leaks, as well as refrigerant poisoning. Call Poison Control if anyone in your household is showing indications of poisoning, such as nausea, headache, and confusion.

How to Find an A/C Repair Company

It's easy to know you need A/C repairs, but how do you know which company to work with, especially when there are literally dozens to choose from? 1-800-Plumber +Air has some tips that are easy to follow.

Reviews

You should value others' feedback when researching A/C repair companies. Read through reviews and see what one company offers over another in terms of reliability, pricing, and results. Any deficiencies in these or other important areas should be treated with caution. Don't work with any company who you think might make your problem worse.

Licenses/Insurance

Never assume that an A/C repair company is fully licensed and insured. If you don't check, you could spend your hard-earned money hiring unqualified technicians who don't follow proper repair procedures. Even worse, if they get hurt and they don't have any kind of liability insurance, the liability is going to fall on you and your wallet. Request proof of license and insurance from every technician sent to your home before you allow work to begin.

Emergency Services

When you need A/C repairs, you usually need them right away. Trying to get through even one broiling Central Long Island day with a broken A/C is a struggle. That's why you should focus on companies with 24/7 emergency services. 1-800-Plumber +Air of Central Long Island technicians can come by any time of day, including weekends and holidays.

My daughter Natalie Permenter actually ordered the service. I'm at her house during the day to keep my grandson. I was very impressed by Emanuel, the plumber that cam. He was very professional and seemed to really care about his clients. Natalie tells me the lady in the office also showed professionalism and a genuine desire to help. Emanuel was disappointed that he couldn't get the job done on day one; but promised to come back the next day. True to his word he was here bright and early. I am so impressed to finally find a company that really cares about the consumer; not just the dollar.
