\"AC<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Given how much you use their air conditioners in Glendale, AZ, as a homeowner, you\u2019ve undoubtedly seen the full gamut of things that can go wrong. Some of the most air conditioning repairs<\/a> you may have needed at one time or another include frozen evaporator coils, refrigerant leaks, and weak airflow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what are some of the more unusual repairs that don\u2019t happen quite as often? From rodent infestations to an outdoor cabinet that starts sinking into the ground, let\u2019s go over some AC issues that homeowners are luckily less likely to face. That way, you\u2019ll know what to look for. To stay ahead of both common and unexpected problems, review these 3 tips for preventing major AC repairs<\/a> before issues have a chance to develop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Diagnosing When One Mini Split Isn\u2019t Cooling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A ductless mini split system provides amazing cooling power and zone control\u2013that is, until one of the units stops working. If the unit won\u2019t turn on at all, the first thing to do is to replace the batteries on the remote control to see if that fixes the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the unit turns on but is experiencing other issues like a lack of cold air or reduced airflow, there are a few possible culprits. Each one of your mini split units has a blower fan and a refrigerant coil. It\u2019s possible that your blower fan motor can burn out or experience an electrical problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each unit connects to the outdoor unit via a series of conduits that are behind the walls of your home. The conduits include refrigerant lines, power lines, and condensate drains. Any one of these lines can incur damage with the result being that a single mini split head stops working. If you’re exploring options for replacement or upgrades, you might want to consider AC installation solutions available in Phoenix<\/a>, especially if your system is aging or underperforming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What To Do If Your AC\u2019s Outdoor Unit Is Sinking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When your AC system was installed, the outdoor unit was placed on a concrete or stone slab. That\u2019s because this part (called the condenser unit) needs a level, stable foundation in order to work properly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But just as homes settle and foundations shift, that concrete slab is also susceptible to movement over time. Without a stable base, an air conditioner won\u2019t be able to work properly. Water can infiltrate the interior parts, parts inside can wear down faster and even break without proper alignment, and refrigerant lines can incur damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spotting and Preventing AC-Related Water Damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Water damage doesn\u2019t seem like something an air conditioner should incur, but it does happen due to a few different scenarios. The usual culprit behind water damage is the condensate line which is how excess moisture is drained out of your home. This line is narrow and susceptible to clogs, especially if you\u2019ve skipped an annual tune-up or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A blocked condensate line can cause water to leak from your AC. You\u2019ll notice an accumulation around the drain pan at the base of the unit. Water leaks can also cause mold and mildew growth that can spread throughout your AC system. If your home smells musty or moldy, or if you notice mold anywhere in your home, it needs to be addressed immediately. You can learn more about how to protect your system with pre-season maintenance benefits<\/a> that catch these issues before they cause extensive damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
