AC Problems And Solutions

Common air-conditioner problems and solutions

Experiencing AC troubles? Every unit goes through its ups and downs, especially if it's been through a few heavy Australian summers. 
But, let’s talk about what’s happening with yours and what you can do to fix it.
Here are the top issues that Australians face with their air conditioners, with the right solutions:

Weird sounds and smells

Are you hearing any banging, clanking, or disturbing motor sounds from somewhere inside your unit? Or does it give off a bad smell every time you turn it on?

The sounds could be due to many reasons - loose parts, clogged fan or filter, worn out belt or leaking refrigerant. The smells, on the other hand, are definitely because of dirty internal components that have not been serviced for a while. Dirt, bacteria and mildew can collect in the unit and cause bad odors.

The solution is to identify the actual issue and then go about, cleaning, replacing or tightening it. Some issues you may be able to sort out yourself but it's advisable to call in some professionals from air conditioner repair Canning Vale or your neighborhood to find every problem and fix it so that the problem is thoroughly resolved.

Water dripping from the unit

If you find water dripping from the external compressor unit, there’s no need to panic. That’s supposed to happen. 

But if you find dripping and pools of water collecting on your floors, from the indoor unit, still try not to panic! But do call air conditioner repair Cheltenham or one from around your place. They will check to see whether it's your dirty filter, drain pipes, condensate plate or issues in the duct as it could be any of these reasons. 

In fact, the technicians from air conditioner repair Clayton will perform this level of checking even during a regular servicing. So, as long as you get an annual servicing and timely repairs, you should not be experiencing these problems. However, if you have been getting your regular servicing, and are still experiencing problems, it may be time to replace parts or the unit.  

Not cooling properly

This is a common concern and one that’s easily detected. If your AC is not giving your the desired level of coolness, that is a problem. 

There are a host of possible reasons for this problem. Some of them include blocked filters, leaking refrigerant, clogged ducts, insulation issues, electrical connection problems, faulty fans, or damaged thermostat. 

Sometimes, it can be something as simple as the wrong Thermostat setting, especially in the newer units. 

Most issues with air conditioners are a result of neglect. Ideally, plan your servicing prior to every summer and be aware of any niggling issues between two services by air conditioner repair Concord. If they are able to identify problems in time, it will save you money in the long run. A unit that runs throughout the summer on a blocked filter or low refrigerant can get damaged and break down. 

So, don’t ignore small issues and make sure to hire professionals to do a proper job.
