With summer approaching, now is the time to think about any air conditioner service you might need to have performed to preserve your home’s comfort. There are quite a few things you can look for when contemplating air conditioner service, but some problems are more common than others.
Even if you recently had your regular spring maintenance performed, you should still be mindful of these four likely problems if your air conditioner is acting up.
- Air Conditioner Not Cooling Like it Used To
This may indicate there is leaking refrigerant. If you sense a problem here you’ll want to call in trained professionals, like B&D Air Conditioning in Safford. This way, you’ll be sure your system is properly repaired and running at its best. Not only will this ensure the leak is fixed, but the refrigerant charge will be matched to the manufacturer’s exact specifications, ensuring the peak operation. - Inadequate maintenance
When your air conditioner’s filters and coils build up with dirt and grime you’ll see a noticeable decrease in your system’s efficiency, and likely many other problems if you don’t have them changed or cleaned. B&D Air Conditioning can perform annual maintenance on your air conditioner to ensure it’s clean and running well. - Cycling too frequently
If it seems like your air conditioner cycles on and off frequently, it could be a indication it’s time to have a professional inspect your system and look over the wiring while they’re there to look for corrosion and confirm the system is wired properly. Another reason an air conditioner may cycle on and off frequently could be that your system isn’t the correct size for your home. If this is the case, you may also feel that your home is too humid. Since this situation could be caused by many factors, it’s best to deal with professionals as seasoned as the team at B&D Air Conditioning. - Drainage
Your system was devised to take care of draining the condensation that it produces during the cooling process. Mold and mildew problems can manifest if the drain becomes clogged, and this can lead to bigger problems.
Even if your air conditioner is newer, it can develop problems when it’s used frequently. Your system will be operating at its peak during the summer. If you run into issues or need to schedule regular, preventive maintenance to keep it running, call B&D Air Conditioning in Safford at 928-432-6018.
