Even in Cincinnati, August brings some extremely hot days. Therefore, it’s no wonder that people are running their air conditioners all over the city. This, however, also means that AC problems are making themselves known on a regular basis.
One problem with air conditioners is that they can lose their cooling power over time. This is usually caused by a leak in the system. As the coolant leaks away, the air sent out by the system will become warmer. Adding more coolant will not work for long unless the leak is found and patched. Without patching, the new coolant will just leak away like the old stuff did.
Another thing that can interfere with the air conditioner’s ability to do its job is a blockage. Dirty filters can block the ability of the system to move as much air as it should. If the compressor outside is blocked with fallen leaves and other debris, it will not be able to exhaust the heat. Both of these conditions can also cause the system to blow warm air.
Sometimes, air conditioner problems have nothing to do with the temperature of the air that is coming out of the vents. Instead, the machine won’t start up at all. In many cases, this is because of an electrical or controller problem. One of the first things a technician for Home AC Repair Peoria will look for in this case is a faulty thermostat. If the thermostat never sends the signal to start, the system will, of course, just sit there and do nothing. If the thermostat does send the signal but the system doesn’t respond, the repairman will start looking for an electrical problem that is blocking the flow of current. Once found, the problem can be fixed and then the AC unit will be able to run.
These are just a few of the things that can go wrong with an air conditioning system. Whether your air conditioner is suffering from one of these issues or something entirely different, Worlock Air Conditioning & Heating Specialist will be able to pin down the problem and fix it. Then, you’ll be able to enjoy cool air inside your house or business once again.
