Top Three Issues Your AC Could be Having

With summer upon us, many homeowners’ minds will be turning to their AC unit. Our air conditioners are so important when it comes to keeping us comfortable and cool all summer long. If you experienced issues with your air conditioner last year and they weren’t fixed, or you turn your AC on only to discover there is an issue, you may be suffering from one of the most common issues.

When it comes to air conditioning systems, you may be unsure if it’s an issue worth calling your HVAC technician over. Below are the top three air conditioning issues you could face and how to handle it.

Top Three Air Conditioning Issues

  1. Your Air Conditioner Is Blowing Warm Air. If your AC unit is older you may experience this issue over and over again. When your AC seems to be running fine but it is blowing warm air instead of cold it could be due to frozen coils. Frozen coils are a common issue and they are not much fun. If  you notice that your AC unit is blowing warm, the first thing you should do is switch it off. Otherwise, you just end up wasting energy. Switch your system off and let it sit for a few hours. If you turn the air conditioner back on after letting it sit and it is still blowing warm air there may be a bigger issue.
  2. Your Air Conditioner Keeps Tripping the Breaker. An AC unit that trips your circuit breaker is another common problem. If you turn your air conditioner on only to have it trip over and over again then there is an issue there that needs to be assessed by a professional. Your AC unit may trip your circuit breaker due to many reasons, this can include faulty wiring or a faulty fan. No matter what the reason is this is one problem where you will definitely need to call an expert for repairs.
  3. Your AC Is Leaking Water. If you see water leaking from your air conditioner, it can be alarming. Take heart that this has happened to nearly everyone. A few drips of water is likely normal, however if you see water pooling or it is leaking out of the condensate pipe like a river, then you will need to have your system repaired. Condensate pipe clogs or cracked drain pans are very common and can be quickly assessed and repaired.

What to Do if You are Suffering from One of These Three Issues

If your air conditioner is not working to its full capabilities it is best to call for AC maintenance or repairs. Leaving your AC to fix itself hardly ever works and could end up doing more damage to your system.
