Air Conditioning Repair Depew, NY

What are some common AC problems you can expect to encounter?

As the warm weather starts to come in, most people are prepared to turn on the AC and less prepared to cope with a system that is not working correctly. The most common AC problems are:

• Thermostat issues: if the room temperature is either too hot or too cold for the setting, it could be a faulty thermostat. It might be old, it might need to have its batteries replaced, or it could be a wiring problem or a programming defect.
• Short cycling: Larger units tend to have shorter run times, and sometimes a unit may not be the appropriate size for the home or office. It could be that the refrigerant is undercharged or overcharged or worse, there could be a leak. This not only interferes with efficient operation, it can also be dangerous to the environment.
• Frozen coil: Usually caused by decreased performance, reduced airflow, or heavy condensation, a frozen coil can put added pressure on the compressor, producing very costly consequences.
• Inoperative fan: This can be detected by a humming sound emanating from the condenser, but the fan blades are not moving. It could be as simple as a bad capacitor or as complex as a bad motor.

If any of these symptoms are plaguing your AC unit, we are prepared to come out, inspect the system, and provide the necessary repairs to get your system operating properly once again.
