With summer approaching, now is the time to think about any air conditioner service you might need to have performed to preserve your home’s comfort. There are several things you can look for when contemplating air conditioner service, but some issues are more common than others.
Even if you recently had your annual spring maintenance performed, you should still be mindful of these four possible problems if your air conditioner isn’t running properly.
- Air Conditioner Not Cooling Like it Used To
This may be a sign of leaking refrigerant. If you sense a problem here you’ll want to call in qualified professionals, like Woody's Sudden Service Inc in Manassas. This way, you’ll be certain your system is properly repaired and running at its best. Not only will this guarantee the leak is repaired, but the refrigerant charge will be matched to the manufacturer’s exact specifications, ensuring the optimal operation. - Inadequate maintenance
When your air conditioner’s filters and coils are covered in dirt and grime you’ll see a notable decrease in your system’s efficiency, and potentially many other problems if you don’t have them changed or cleaned. Woody's Sudden Service Inc can perform routine maintenance on your air conditioner to make certain it’s clean and running well. - Cycling too frequently
If you’re noticing that your air conditioner cycles on and off frequently, it could be a signal it’s time to have a professional inspect your system and check the wiring while they’re there to look for corrosion and confirm the system is wired properly. Something else that may be causing an air conditioner to cycle on and off frequently could be that your system isn’t the proper size for your home. If this is the case, you may also feel that your home is too humid. Since this situation could be caused by many factors, it’s best to deal with professionals as experienced as the team at Woody's Sudden Service Inc. - Drainage
Your system was devised to take care of draining the condensation that it produces during the cooling process. Mold and mildew issues can manifest if the drain becomes clogged, and this can lead to bigger problems.
Even if your air conditioner is newer, it can develop problems when it’s used often. Your system will be functioning at its best during the summer. If you run into troubles or need to schedule routine, preventive maintenance to keep it running, call Woody's Sudden Service Inc in Manassas at 703-278-2036.
