My Unit Has Worked for Years Without Problems, Why Do I Need an Air Conditioning Service?

We are happy if your air conditioner does not break down, but the longer you put off having an air conditioning service the more likely it is you are going to need an expensive repair. Did you know that the average air conditioner repair can cost hundreds of dollars and often a lot more!

A breakdown is never going to occur at a convenient time. Do you want to take the risk that it will happen on a very hot day? Do you want you and your family to sit in an unbearably hot home waiting for someone to turn up and repair your unit? If you notice the following signs, please call us and we can arrange for one of our technicians to schedule a service:

  • Larger than expected energy bills.
  • Reduced or weak airflow.
  • Reduced amounts of cool air.
  • Odd smells and noises coming from the unit.
  • Water forming around the unit.

Many things could wrong in an air conditioner, and these include:

Coolant Leaks

The less coolant in your unit will mean less heat and humidity can be removed from the warm air in your home. Less coolant also means less cold air coming from your air conditioner and could result in the evaporator coil freezing. Your air conditioner will need to work harder to deliver the same level of cool air, putting more pressure on the unit and increasing your energy bills.

Frozen Evaporator Coils

Another reason why the evaporator coil could freeze is that the airflow is restricted across the coil. First frost and ice will start to form on the coil. If you ignore this then it will eventually freeze, and you will have to turn the unit off and wait for the coil to thaw.

Dirty air filters, and blocked air return grilles, will reduce the airflow over the evaporator coil. A dirty evaporator coil can also lead to it freezing. A regular air conditioning service will help you avoid these problems. Plano, TX is a beautiful place to live but even dust can cause problems for the evaporator coils.

Faulty Fans

One fan in your air conditioner will blow warm indoor air over the evaporator coil and another will blow outdoor air over the condenser to get rid of the excess heat. A faulty fan will reduce the airflow, causing the evaporator coil to freeze up or the condenser to overheat. A faulty fan is often the source of many strange noises that emerge from the air conditioner.

A clunking sound may well mean a loose or bent blade is striking the inside of your unit. A worn-out fan belt can provide a loud screeching sound. A regular air conditioning service will check the fans and help avoid an expensive repair.

Dirty Condenser and Cooling Fins

The condenser and cooling fins are located outside your home, so dirt and grime will be deposited on them. This dirt and grime will act as an insulating layer, so reducing the rate at which heat is transferred to the outside air. Without regular cleaning, the condenser could overheat, burn out, and need repair.

As mentioned before a faulty fan will not provide enough airflow and the condenser and cooling fins will not be able to radiate enough heat away so reducing the cooling effect inside your home.

Blocked AC Drain Line

An overlooked part of your air conditioner is the AC drain line. Any moisture your air conditioner removes from your home, is deposited in the drip pan, and then outside through the drain line. The drain line could be blocked by mold and mildew that grow inside the drip pan and line.

This probably explains the mold smell inside your home. Without a way to exit, the moisture accumulates in the drip pan, and overflows into the air conditioner and then onto your floor. This will also increase the humidity levels inside your home. Any cleaning of the drip pan and AC drain line will be part of an air conditioning service.

Uncalibrated Thermostats

A badly calibrated thermostat will cause you to have higher energy bills by mistaking the temperature to be higher or lower than it is. A badly positioned thermostat will have the same effect, for example, if the thermostat is placed in direct sunlight or near an open window.

Keeping Everyone in Plano, TX Cool and Safe

Without a regular air conditioning service, there is an increased chance that your air conditioner is going to suffer a breakdown. We strongly recommend that everyone has an air conditioning service once a year. We also recommend that you schedule this service during a quiet period like early spring when it is earlier to arrange an appointment to suit you.
