Reasons Your AC May Not Be Working
Several factors can impair your air conditioner’s functionality. Some causes stem from improper care and maintenance, while others are due to natural wear and tear over time. Aire Serv of South Charlotte’s expert technicians have diagnosed countless AC units. Below are some of the most common reasons that AC units need to be repaired or replaced.
The AC Unit Isn’t Getting Any Power
Issues like faulty wiring, a tripped breaker, or an overheated system can prevent your AC from getting the power it needs to operate. Our technicians skillfully address these problems, ensuring your unit receives the power it needs.
The Fan Belt Is Worn Out
A squealing noise often signals a deteriorating fan belt. Replacing it promptly can avoid more significant, costlier problems down the road. Our technicians will quickly diagnose and repair the AC issue, keeping your unit in good working order.
The AC Unit Has a Refrigerant Leak
Refrigerant leaks, identified by a hissing sound, can reduce your system’s efficiency and pose environmental hazards. Our team is equipped to fix these leaks and prevent future issues.
The Evaporator Coil Is Frozen
Issues such as improper airflow can freeze the evaporator coil, leading to warm air output. If you suspect this problem, our experts can help rectify it promptly.
The Fan Motor Is Defective
A malfunctioning fan motor can compromise your home’s air circulation. Our technicians can repair or replace the motor as needed.
The Compressor Is Defective
When the fan works but the air remains warm, the issue likely lies with the compressor. Given its cost, sometimes replacement of your AC system is a more sensible option.
The Condensate Drain Is Clogged
Blockages from debris or insect nests can clog the condensate drain, risking water damage. Our team uses comprehensive cleaning techniques to ensure your system operates flawlessly.
Signs That It May Be Time to Replace Your AC Unit
Most of the time, your air conditioner will give you subtle and easy-to-miss warning signs when it’s reaching the end of its lifespan. Understanding these signs can help you make informed decisions about upgrading your air conditioning system. Determining whether AC repair service or AC replacement service is the right course of action depends on several factors. Below are some of the signs that it’s time to replace your AC system.
Aging HVAC System
Older systems, due to their outdated technology and wear over time, often require frequent repairs, which can be both time-consuming and costly. Additionally, these systems tend to consume more energy, leading to higher utility bills and a greater environmental impact.
Recurring Repairs
If you find yourself often reaching out for service assistance, it might turn out to be more economical in the long run to consider investing in a new system. This approach could potentially save you from the recurring costs and inconveniences of repairs, not to mention the improved efficiency and reliability a new system could offer.
Energy-Efficient Upgrades
Modern systems are designed with superior efficiency in mind, significantly reducing your energy bills while also minimizing your environmental footprint. By utilizing advanced technology, these systems operate more effectively, requiring less energy to heat or cool your home, which in turn contributes to a lower overall energy consumption and a more sustainable lifestyle.
