Understanding the potential issues with your air conditioner can help you know when to call for professional assistance. Aire Serv of Northwest Georgia is here to explain the common problems that might be causing your AC unit to malfunction, how to identify the signs of these issues, and what steps our expert technicians take to restore your system to optimal performance.
No Power Is Getting to the Unit
Your air conditioner might not be receiving power due to faulty wiring, a tripped breaker, or an overheating issue that causes the system to shut down for safety reasons. Our technicians can repair any wiring issues, reset your circuit breaker, and ensure there’s nothing blocking the airflow to your outdoor unit.
The Fan Belt Is Too Worn
A squealing sound coming from your air conditioning unit often indicates a worn-out fan belt. Replacing a deteriorating fan belt promptly can prevent more costly repairs in the future. Our team can replace your fan belt swiftly and safely, getting your unit working at peak condition again.
The AC Unit Is Leaking Refrigerant
If you notice a hissing sound coming from your AC unit, it’s likely due to a refrigerant leak. This issue not only reduces the performance of your air conditioner, but it can also harm the environment. Our technicians can recharge your system and replace any damaged tubing to prevent future leaks.
The Evaporator Coil Is Frozen
When warm air blows from your supply registers, a frozen evaporator coil might be the culprit. Several factors can cause this issue, including airflow problems or low refrigerant levels. If you suspect a frozen coil, turn off your AC and call our experts for a thorough inspection and repair.
The Fan Motor Isn’t Working
A defective fan motor can disrupt airflow in your home. Our skilled technicians can diagnose the problem and perform the necessary repairs or replacements to restore proper circulation and cooling.
Your Compressor Is Malfunctioning
If your AC’s fan runs but the air coming out is warm, a malfunctioning compressor might be to blame. As one of the most expensive components of your AC system, a faulty compressor requires careful consideration. Our team can help you decide whether repairing or replacing the compressor is the best option.
A Clogged Condensate Drain
Debris, insect nests, and dirt can clog your condensate drain over time, causing water damage. Our technicians can flush your system and apply an algaecide to reduce the risk of future clogs, keeping your AC system running smoothly.
