3 Tips for Preventing Major AC Repairs

Monday, August 19th, 2024

When it comes to air conditioning repairs, the best course of action is to do everything you can to prevent AC problems to begin with. That way, you don’t have to worry as much about unexpected problems popping up and potentially leading to your air conditioner breaking down completely. Recognizing small issues early can make a big difference in long-term system reliability.

How Can You Prevent Major AC Repairs with Regular Service and Maintenance?

Schedule professional maintenance annually: A yearly tune-up helps catch small issues early, improves efficiency, and extends the system’s lifespan.
Perform basic care at home: Replace or clean air filters every 1–3 months, clear debris around the outdoor unit, and flush the condensate drain line with vinegar periodically.

Pay attention to warning signs: Address strange noises, weak airflow, rising energy bills, or uneven cooling promptly to avoid more costly repairs.

Of course, when you do have air conditioning problems, you can always give our team a call for air conditioning repair in Glendale. In the meantime, you can keep reading to learn more about the ways you can prevent air conditioning problems before they ever happen.

Common AC Repair Needs and Tips for Addressing Them

Monday, July 22nd, 2024

Air conditioners can experience all sorts of problems, but some are more common than others. We’re highlighting some of the AC repair needs that we see more often so you can be prepared to address them if they come up. Just give our team a call anytime you think you need AC repair in Scottsdale.

What Are the Most Common AC Repair Issues and How Can You Address Them?

Faulty capacitor: If the outdoor unit hums but won’t start, the capacitor may be failing. This is typically an inexpensive fix when addressed early.
Refrigerant leaks: Signs include hissing sounds, weak cooling, or ice buildup on coils. These require professional leak repair and refrigerant recharge.
Clogged condensate drain: Water pooling near the indoor unit or musty odors often point to a clogged drain line. Cleaning it can prevent leaks and mold.
Frozen evaporator coils: Often caused by poor airflow or low refrigerant levels. Coils need to be thawed and the underlying issue resolved.
Dirty evaporator or condenser coils: Dirt buildup reduces heat transfer and forces the AC to work harder, leading to inefficiency.
Blower motor or fan issues: Weak airflow or strange noises can indicate a failing blower motor or fan that may need repair or replacement.

Thermostat or electrical faults: A mis calibrated thermostat, wiring issues, or blown fuses can cause cycling problems or a total cooling failure.

It’s better to be proactive and address any potential repair needs instead of rolling the dice on whether or not that issue will get bigger. Keep reading to learn more about some AC problems you should watch out for and the signs of each one. You can also explore tips for preventing major AC repairs to help avoid unexpected issues before they happen.
