Frequently Asked Questions About Air Conditioner Repairs

How Often Should Our AC Be Serviced?

When Should I Replace My Air Conditioner?

There's no hard and fast rule for when to replace an air conditioner, but there are some indicators that it might be time to consider an upgrade. Generally, an air conditioner lasts about 10-15 years, so if your unit is approaching this age range, it may be worth evaluating whether a replacement makes sense. Additionally, if your air conditioner is frequently breaking down and needing repairs, a new unit may be a more cost-effective solution in the long run.

Another factor to consider is the SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating of your current unit. If your AC has a low SEER rating, it may not be as energy-efficient as newer models on the market. Replacing your air conditioner with a more energy-efficient unit can save you money on your utility bills and reduce your carbon footprint.

Why Is My Air Conditioner Freezing Up?

Several factors can lead to an air conditioner freezing up, including low refrigerant levels, reduced airflow, and/or a dirty evaporator coil. Low refrigerant levels can cause the temperature in the evaporator coil to drop, leading to ice accumulation. This could be a result of a leak, which should be addressed by a professional technician.

Similarly, reduced airflow can cause the evaporator coil to freeze, potentially due to a dirty or clogged air filter. Ensuring your air filter is clean and replaced regularly can help prevent this issue. Lastly, a dirty evaporator coil can also lead to freezing. Regular maintenance, including having a professional clean the coils, can help keep your AC running efficiently and prevent freezing issues.

Why Is My Air Conditioner Leaking Condensation? Should I Be Worried?

Some condensation is normal for an air conditioner, but excessive leaking can be an indication of an issue that needs to be addressed. The two most common reasons for a leaking air conditioner are a clogged condensate drain line and an improperly sized or installed drain pan.

A clogged condensate drain line can cause the water to back up and overflow, leading to leakage. To resolve this issue, the drain line should be cleared of any blockages. It's also essential to keep up with regular AC maintenance to prevent future clogs.

If your air conditioner has an improperly sized or installed drain pan, water may overflow, leading to leaks. In this case, a professional technician at Aire Serv of Western North Carolina can assess and resolve the issue to prevent damage to your home.

How Can I Maintain My Air Conditioner To Prevent Breakdowns And Repairs?

Regular maintenance of your air conditioner can help extend its lifespan, reduce the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns, and ensure it's running efficiently.

Some basic maintenance tasks you can do yourself include:

• Cleaning or replacing air filters every 1-3 months, or as recommended by the manufacturer.
• Inspecting and cleaning outdoor condenser coils, removing any debris or obstructions.
• Checking the condensate drain line for clogs and clearing if necessary.
• Additionally, it's a good idea to schedule an annual professional maintenance visit for a thorough inspection, cleaning, and servicing of your air conditioner.
