At Gundlach’s, your comfort is our priority.
As we advance out of winter and enter warmer seasons, that means one thing — air conditioning! AC units are a necessary part of summer life, but they can also be quite finicky. If your air conditioning isn’t working properly, it can make hot days unbearable. So what are the most common AC problems? Our team at Gundlach’s has the answers. Continue reading to learn more!
New sounds are a red flag. If you’re hearing strange noises from your AC unit, it could be a sign of an urgent problem. Oftentimes, strange noises are caused by issues with the motor bearings and deteriorating or misaligned belts. These problems can be solved with routine AC maintenance, as our technicians can help determine the source of the noise and suggest a proper solution. These AC repair solutions include checking belts and lubricating bearings to keep the compressor motor safe. Leaks are not easy to detect, but they can cause big problems. If you suspect a leak, look for brightly colored stains on coolant lines or excessive moisture near the AC unit. Leaks can often appear in the joints and connections of the AC system, so these are areas you should inspect closely. If you do find a leak, it’s important to have it fixed as soon as possible to prevent further damage. Oftentimes, leaks are caused by the degradation of the lines and connections over time and can cause low refrigerant levels. If this is the case, you are in jeopardy of severely damaging the compressor — which can be quite costly. To prevent this from happening, make sure to schedule regular maintenance checks for your AC unit. If you have a leak in your AC system, it’s best to turn off the unit and call the Gundlach’s team. We can help you find and fix the leak, and we can also help you maintain your AC unit to prevent future leaks. This will help detect any potential problems before they become too serious. When mornings are hot, it can be irritating to have an AC unit that won’t engage and start up. If your AC unit isn’t turning on, there could be a few different causes. For instance, this might be because of a tripped circuit breaker. If the breaker is fine, it could be a problem with the thermostat or loose wiring. Wiring AC repairs shouldn’t be handled by an amateur, so call on our Gundlach’s certified HVAC professionals. We have the tools necessary to conduct specialized diagnostic inspections of electrical issues. One of the most common AC problems is hot air blowing out rather than cooling the room as it should. This is particularly irritating during hot, sunny days when the inconvenient intensity of the weather is compounded by a malfunctioning air conditioning system. If your AC unit is emitting hot air, you likely have a dirty air filter, your ducts may be clogged, or the compressor is overheating from excessive debris. To resolve this issue, you can schedule one of our Gundlach’s AC services such as an air filter replacement, duct cleaning, or AC maintenance to prevent obstructions. However, this issue could also arise from low refrigerant levels. Before you add new refrigerant, make sure you hire a technician to inspect for any potential leaks.
