air conditioning repair in Snellville, GA<\/a>. So, although you\u2019ve probably guess correctly that what we\u2019re going to say next is, \u201cgive our technicians a call and we\u2019ll be over right away,\u201d we can give you an idea of what to expect in the meantime, as far as what might be wrong with your cooling system.<\/p>\nFirst, Check the Thermostat<\/h2>\n
One of the most common repair calls we get is in regards to a cooling system that won\u2019t cool. And while it may seem obvious, our first suggestion is always to check the thermostat before calling an HVAC professional out. The thing is, your AC problem might not be a problem with the actual system at all.<\/p>\n
Someone in your household might have unintentionally turned the thermostat up a few degrees\u2014or they might have done it on purpose if they have a different level of comfort than you do. It could even be that your air conditioner got switched to \u201cfan only\u201d mode, and will only circulate air instead of cooling it.<\/p>\n
Change Your Air Filter!<\/h2>\n
There\u2019s a relatively common misconception that the air filter that comes standard with any HVAC system is there to protect your indoor air from contaminants. But the actual purpose of this air filter is to protect the interior components of your air conditioner. And if it gets too blocked up, it won\u2019t allow the right amount of airflow through, leading to air that\u2019s not cool enough for you.<\/p>\n
You May Have an Evaporator Coil Problem<\/h2>\n
The problem you may be facing could be a frozen evaporator coil. This component is the portion of your air conditioner where heat is drawn from the air and cooled down. Ice may seem <\/em>like a normal part of the process, but trust us when we say it isn\u2019t.<\/p>\nThis ice actually blocks the coil from absorbing heat. The ice can be a result of low refrigerant, because of leaks, or even too much dirt and grime on the coil.<\/p>\n
Failed Compressor Motors<\/h2>\n
The fan within your cooling system\u2019s air handler may be working fine, sending air out through your ductwork system. However, if the outdoor compressor isn\u2019t functioning due to failed capacitors or a failed motor, then you won\u2019t receive any cooling at all.<\/p>\n
Our technicians will check on the problem for repair, but if the compressor has burnt out it will need to be replaced. And replacing the compressor usually means replacing the whole air conditioner, considering what a vital role the compressor plays in its functionality.<\/p>\n
A Broken Condenser Fan<\/h2>\n
The outdoor unit of your AC system contains a fan, which is responsible for drawing in outdoor air. That air flow over the condenser coil so heat can be released outside. If the fan isn\u2019t work, then no heat can be released, and as a result the refrigerant won\u2019t cool down and the air conditioner can\u2019t do its job. Be sure to call in a professional if you suspect any problems with this fan.<\/p>\n
