Simple Ac Repair: Getting the Indoor Air Quality You Deserve

by | Jun 6, 2014 | Air Conditioning & Heating

To get the right indoor air quality you need to have a comfortable personal environment, it’s advisable to learn about simple Ac repair. This will entail learning about the basic components of an air conditioner as well as how your particular AC unit works. The two main parts of a central air conditioner are the evaporator and the condenser. The condenser is responsible for pressuring a refrigerant into a liquid (condensation). This part of an AC unit is located outside a home on a level surface such as a concrete slab. The evaporator serves to convert a refrigerant from a liquid to a gaseous state (evaporation). An evaporator is above the furnace encased in the plenum or main duct junction.

To start troubleshooting your air conditioning unit, you will need to identify the problem. Next, you will have to identify a possible cause and solution. Each failed solution will mean identifying another cause and solution until you fix your AC system. If a problem is too complicated or potentially dangerous to fix, call an AC company to fix it for you. One such business to look into is Service 1 Heating & AC, Inc. The professionals at this company can handle both commercial and residential air conditioning services.

One of the main problems people have with their air conditioners is an inability to get the coolness they desire. This may be caused by a thermostat being set too high. Lower your thermostat by 5 degrees. If the condenser is dirty, you will need to clean the condenser coil and fins with a fin comb and a commercial condenser cleaner. If this does not cool your air, remove weeds, debris, and rubbish from around the unit. You may need to contact a professional if your unit does not cool after these tasks have been performed.

If you are having difficulties getting your condenser unit to turn on, access to power may be hindered. Look at the main entrance panel or at a separate entrance panel to see if a fuse has been blown or a circuit breaker has tripped. If the thermostat is set to high, lower the thermostat by 5 degrees. You may need to call a professional if these two attempts are fruitless.
