The days are getting hotter, so your HVAC is working hard to keep you cool and comfortable. Unfortunately, constant use leads to wear and tear, so take steps to prevent any issues with your system. Understanding common heating and air conditioning problems will allow you to make better decisions when it comes to repairing and maintaining your HVAC unit. AirWorks talks about common HVAC problems and how to deal with them:
Worn-Out Fan Controls and Compressor
Mistakes during air conditioner installation can lead to problems in the future. For instance, the installed air conditioner might be the wrong size for the home. This can lead to the air conditioner frequently turning on and off, leading to the compressor and fan controls to wear out. An effective long-term solution is replacing the current air conditioning system with something better suited for your home’s size. Even if this is not yet an option, make sure to schedule regular HVAC maintenance to prevent issues.
Refrigerant Leaks
Your air conditioning system needs to have the correct amount of refrigerant if it’s going to perform according to its specifications. However, some HVAC companies make mistakes during installation and cause refrigerant charging problems. For example, your system might be undercharged, or it might have refrigerant leaks. Fortunately, a trained heating and air conditioning technician can fix any leak and charge the system with the correct amount of refrigerant.
Lack of Maintenance
Lack of maintenance is a problem that both your heating and air conditioning system can face. You must not allow your filters to become dirty, and your HVAC components to get worn down and break.
