There are some common problems that could keep your HVAC system from operating at 100%. While our technicians are always available to help or answer questions, here are some common issues that you can keep on eye on to help your system run effectively. 

Filter

This is one of the most common HVAC problems we see. Filters are super easy to change out. Filters differ in size and therefore, how often they should be switched. Follow your mafacturer guidelines on how often you should change your filters. A dirty filter can cause your system to freeze up if no air can flow. A clean filter will help air flow through your system so that your system isn’t working as hard and keep the air in your home or business cleaner. 

Thermostat

Thermostat issues are sometimes as easy as blocking sunlight from directly penetrating it. Thermostats can also get dusty and become unlevel over time. We can also recommend (because it happens more than you’d think) to check that your thermostat is on, is turned to cool or heat based on temperature before we come out. 

Refrigerant Leaks

Leaks are also very common in your HVAC system. A leak can cause your indoor temperature to be uncomfortable. We do recommend having a trained technician to properly assess where the leak is coming from. This repair can be costly so having an annual check on your system for leaks could save you a costly repair bill. 

Drainage

Your drain line staying clear is vital to your home or business. An HVAC system has to drain. A clogged drain can cause the pan around your system to fill and cause damage to your home depending on where your system is located. 

If your breaker or fuses go, it can cause your motor or your compressor to overheat. 

Our technicians will usually check the breaker first if a motor has died. 

Capacitor

Your system has a start capacitor and a run capacitor. If either capacitor burns out, your system will not run. 

Compressor

Your cold air depends on your compressor to push energy to the refrigerant to cool the coils and exchange the heat. Without a working compressor, your AC will not push cold air. If your refrigerant is low, it can cause your system to overheat and stop running. Too much refrigerant will cause the compressor to fail as well. A trained technician should check your compressor. 

Evaporator Coils

These coils absorb heat and push it back into the space as cold air through the ducts. Maintenance on coils should be done to ensure the coils don’t become corroded. 

Condenser Coils

These coils are located outside with the compressor so they should be hosed off annually to keep them clean. A chemical cleaner must be used by a technician if the coils become too dirty. 

Worn Contactor

Contactors make the electrical connection to start the motors and compressor. Without a proper connection, the electric current to start the motors or compressor won’t be strong enough to spark. 

These common problems can be serviced and typically prevented with regular air conditioning services from 5 Star Quality HVAC. Some of these problems can be maintained and checked by the homeowner or business owner. We recommend having your system annually checked with regular air conditioning service and always calling a technician if you are unsure about your system. Our technicians will always recommend repairs before discussing new air conditioning installation. Our HVAC services team will always give upfront fair quotes on all work that needs to be completed.
