Expert AC Repair in Keizer
In some cases, you may experience an immediate problem with your air conditioning system that causes it to stop working, such as a malfunctioning thermostat.
In other cases, the problem may develop over time, like with a dirty air filter or leaking refrigerant. When you first notice that something is awry with your air conditioning system, you should seek out professional assistance from our HVAC technicians.
There are many problems that you may experience with your home’s air conditioning system.
- Dirty air filter
- Low refrigerant level
- Clogged drain line
- Worn fan blower belt
- Malfunctioning thermostat
When your air conditioning system starts becoming less efficient, it’s a likely indicator that its air filter is full of debris. As your air filter works to remove unwanted airborne particles from your indoor air, the particles will accumulate inside the filter.
As it fills, your blower fan will have a harder time forcing air through it. Simply replacing the dirty filter should remedy the inefficient cooling problem instantly.
Refrigerant is the main cooling substance in an air conditioning system. It’s responsible for removing heat from the air inside your home and dispersing it outside. When your system is low on refrigerant, it will struggle to adequately cool down your home.
Refrigerant may leak out over time through pinholes in your tubing. Or, you may hear a loud hissing sound when the copper tubing holding your refrigerant develops a major leak. You’ll need one of our professional HVAC technicians to recharge the refrigerant level in your cooling system.
Another issue you may experience is pooling around your indoor air handler unit. When this happens, it’s an indication that your drain line has a clog. As your air conditioning system works to remove heat from the air, it will also remove excess humidity.
This moisture drips off the evaporator coil and down into the drain pan, where it is down through your drain line. If there is a clog, our plumber can take care of the issue so water can drain adequately through your drain line.
Over time, your cooling system may develop odd noises. One particularly annoying sound is a high-pitched squeal. This noise happens when the fan belt starts to wear down. If you don’t address it quickly, the fan belt for the blower motor will break and stop your blower from circulating cold air throughout your house.
