Frequently Asked Questions About Air Conditioner Maintenance
How Can I Tell if My Air Conditioner is Broken?
If your air conditioner is not cooling your home efficiently or at all, it may be broken. Other signs that something may be wrong with your AC include a lack of airflow or unusual noises coming from the unit. It’s important to get any issues checked out right away by a professional before they become more serious and costly to repair.
When Should I Replace My Air Conditioner?
Air conditioners should typically be replaced after 10-15 years of use. If you’re having frequent repairs done on an older unit, it may be time for a replacement. New air conditioners have improved efficiency ratings and are designed to last longer than their predecessors. Replacing an old unit with a new one will help save money in the long run by reducing energy bills as well as repair costs.
Why is My Air Conditioner Freezing Up?
A frozen AC unit can occur when the condenser coils become too cold due to a lack of airflow over them or low levels of refrigerant in the system. Make sure that there is no debris blocking the outdoor coils and that all registers in the house are open and unobstructed; then check for any leaks in the refrigerant line which can cause freezing up problems. Finally, make sure that there are no thermostat malfunctions causing improper temperature settings.
