You can count on Service 1st Pros if your air conditioner breaks down. We bring vast knowledge and years of experience to all of our air conditioner repairs. We would be happy to come to your home and inspect your air conditioner if it is doing one or more of the following things. These things are common air conditioner problems that we repair on a regular basis.
The AC Doesn’t Turn On
If your air conditioner is not turning on no matter how low you set the thermostat, it’s possible that the thermostat is bad or the thermostat sensor on the AC unit is bad. This can also be a sign that the AC tripped the circuit, so check your breaker box to see if this has happened. If everything is okay with the breaker box, call us so we can come out to determine why your AC won’t turn on.
The AC Blows Warm Air
If the air flowing out of the vents is warm or hot, your air conditioner may be low on refrigerant. The AC will also blow hot air if the air filter is clogged, so check the filter to see if it needs to be changed. You may also have a problem with the air conditioner’s condenser or compressor. We can inspect the AC to determine the reason why you’ve got hot air flowing into your home.
The AC Unit Is Frozen
You should never see frost on the outside of your air conditioning unit. If you do, you may have
- Airflow that is insufficient
- Low refrigerant levels in the unit
- Problems with the blower motor
These problems can also freeze up the evaporator coil inside the air conditioner unit and cause the AC to stop running. You need airflow throughout the unit to keep it running efficiently and prevent freezing. You also need a functional blower motor and the right amount of refrigerant in the unit.
Strange Air Conditioner Noises
If the air conditioner starts to make strange noises when it turns on, turn it off immediately to avoid further damage. Specifically, your air conditioner will
- Hiss if it is leaking refrigerant
- Click if there’s a relay problem
- Bang if the blower or motor assembly is bad
- Screech if the compressor or fan motor is bad
- Buzz if there’s an electrical problem
Never run the AC if it is making unusual noises or blowing strange-smelling air through the vents. These are definite signs that your AC needs to be serviced or repaired right away.
