During these hot summer days, everyone looks forward to spending their time indoors in the comfort of their AC’s cool air. But imagine you turn on your AC and notice that it isn’t cooling. In this situation, we understand you might panic. But there are a few easy solutions that you can check for before you call a technician.
Here are Some Common Causes:
Your AC's Outdoor Unit Is Dirty
If the coils or fins on your AC’s outdoor unit are dirty, it can cause the unit to overheat and shut down. To clean the outdoor unit, turn off the power, remove any debris, and use a hose to remove any dirt or dust. If you notice any damage to the coils or fins, it’s best to call a professional.
The Breaker Tripped
If the breaker keeps tripping, it could mean an issue with your unit. In this situation, check the circuit box by your HVAC unit, and ensure there aren’t any loose wires or connections. If everything looks fine, try resetting the breaker and see if that fixes the issue. If not, it’s time to call a professional.
The Compressor Is Not Working
If you’ve noticed that your compressor has been running non-stop or making loud noises when you turn it off, there may be an issue with the compressor itself. To test this theory, turn off the power to the unit for about 30 minutes and then try to turn it back on again. If it still doesn’t work, this could be the problem. Contact a professional technician for further assistance in diagnosing this issue.
Duct & Vent Is Dirty
When there’s dust or dirt in your ducts or vents, this could cause issues with airflow within the system. It can lead to decreased efficiency and increased energy usage over time.
In some cases, the result can be the premature failure of components such as motors and compressors, which depend on good airflow for proper cooling performance. Contact an expert for professional AC vent cleaning in Orlando! We can wipe these components clean and replace them, if needed.
Your Outdoor Condenser Coil Is Clogged with Dirt
The condenser coils are located at the back of your central air conditioner and are responsible for cooling the outside unit. And when they get clogged up with dirt, debris, or dust, they can overheat while trying to cool your home. This causes them to shut down to protect themselves from overheating and potential damage. The easiest way to clean it out is by using compressed air spray cans, or even intense water pressure from a garden hose!
