Many homeowners don’t think enough about cooling systems. Tackling air conditioner challenges becomes more intimidating. You can always call an A/C repair specialist to identify and service idea problems. Below are some common cooling idea problems and what you can do about them before your specialists arrive! When your A/C won’t turn on, first check your control component settings. Your control component should be set below the home’s temperature. Then, check your unit’s power sources. The exterior component must be exactly blocked in, and the switch near the condenser should be set to “on”. Ensure that the breakers to the condenser and air handler are not tripped. Clogged air filters can also prevent the idea from firing up; Replace dirty filters or supply reUSble filters a nice cleaning. When there is no cool air, first check the filter. A jammed filter prevents freezing air to travel through the ducts into your home. Replace your clogged air filter or wash your reUSble filter. Reinsert the filter in the appropriate direction. Then, check the ducts. Duct leaks reduce the supply of cool air. Duct leaks waste up to 30 percent of energy, thus the air coming through your registers may not be cool. Inspect your ducts for disconnected sections, holes, and gaps. If you guess comfortable, seal minor leaks on your own using mastic. Don’t use duct tape because it loses its sealing ability. When your idea ices over, first turn off the AC. Switch off the breakers that supply the A/C unit. Turn off the power switches at the gas furnace and near the condensing unit! Let your A/C thaw out for at least a day. Ensure that the coils have thawed completely. Towel dry any pooled water or condensation on the unit. Then, turn the breakers back on and use the control component to turn the component back on and check if the fans are laboring. Lastly, replace your air filter. Replacing your filter improves airflow from the A/C to your living areas. When an easy A/C service doesn’t work, turn to an experienced Heating and A/C professional.
