With the Texas heat
beating down on the city of Houston, air conditioning is a life
saver. However, it can malfunction or break down just when you need
your room to cool. Knowing when to call the repairman is an important
part of maintaining your AC unit. Here are some AC problems that
might need professional attention.
Faulty Installation
A common problem that
crops up more times than it should is incorrect installation. If not
properly placed, a central air conditioner can have leaky ducts and
weak airflow. This is the same for a window AC unit. If faced with
this problem, only a technician should be able to reinstall the unit
properly. It will cost your more for the extra work of correcting an
error, but it will be better in the long run.
Leaking Refrigerants
Usually, an air
conditioner’s refrigerant is never exhausted. It only becomes low
when it leaks. A leak is a serious matter and needs a professional or
licensed technician to fix it. It needs to be addressed and the
proper amount of refrigerant be added in place.
Electrical and
Sensor Failure
The normal
wear-and-tear of an AC unit also affects the system’s electrical
parts. Wires corrode and terminals may get disconnected, while
thermostat sensors may start to malfunction. If your unit suddenly
does not turn on, or stops cooling the room properly, call a
technician to look at the wiring and your thermostat.
Professional repairmen
should be able to fix these three problems quickly and efficiently.
Contact them immediately so you don’t have to suffer through the
heat.
