Why Isn’t My Air Conditioner Working?
At Aire Serv, accurately diagnosing HVAC equipment issues is one of our specialties. Some of the most common reasons our service professionals are called for A/C unit repairs include the following:
- There’s no power to the air conditioner due to an electrical problem, such as faulty wiring, a tripped circuit breaker, or an automatic shutoff from overheating.
- If you hear a squealing sound, the fan belt might need to be replaced to prevent it from snapping and costing you more money in repairs.
- If you hear a hissing sound, you’re likely dealing with a refrigerant leak, which decreases the efficiency of your unit and poses a threat to the environment.
- Several things, including constant operation, low refrigerant levels, and poor circulation, can cause a frozen evaporator coil. Feeling warm air through your vents is a sign of frozen evaporator coils.
- If your fan motor is defective, air can't circulate properly throughout your home or commercial business. Our service professionals could possibly repair the motor, but it may need to be replaced.
- When an A/C unit compressor isn’t working properly, the air coming through the registers will feel warm. The compressor is one of the more expensive parts of an air conditioner, so it's best to discuss repair and replacement options with your Aire Serv service professional.
- If the condensate drain is clogged by algae, dirt, insect nests, or other debris, it can cause water damage and result in your A/C unit not working efficiently. Our service professionals can resolve the clog and take steps to ensure it stays free of clogs in the future.
