Top Common Ac Problems and Solution

It's not necessary to be an expert in air conditioners to identify problems. Understanding the most typical issues that AC units face is quite helpful in averting malfunctions. Who wants to spend a steamy summer in Denver indoors without air conditioning? Be mindful of these ten typical problems:

1. AC Running Constantly

In warmer weather, it's usual for the air conditioner to operate more frequently; however, it should still occasionally shut off. Fixing an AC that won't turn off will help you save expensive energy costs and safeguard important parts.

Cause: There are a number of potential causes for this, one of the most prevalent AC problems. The compressor, air filters, thermostat, or electrical components could all be malfunctioning.

Solution: First, see if you can turn off the air conditioner by turning off the thermostat fan. If not, get in touch with an expert. Our professionals are skilled at rapidly identifying issues and frequently complete repairs on the first visit.

2. AC Not Turning On

When you wake up in the morning and find the air conditioner is completely off, it can be annoying. The air conditioner won't turn on even if you lower the thermostat's setting.

Cause: This issue can occasionally be brought on by a tripped circuit breaker. Other causes could be weak wiring or a malfunctioning thermostat.

Solution: Stay away from trying to fix wiring on your own. With the aid of specialised diagnostic tools, our licensed HVAC professionals can identify any electrical issues.

3. No Cool Air Flowing

Two ways exist for this frequent problem to manifest. Initially, even though no air is exiting the ducts, you could hear the air conditioner running. Second, it doesn't seem cool at all, even if you can feel some breeze.

Cause: Usually, solving this issue is quite easy. Usually, it's merely a circuit breaker that has tripped. Another possibility is that the blower belt needs to be replaced because it is worn out. Refrigerant levels below minimum can also impact cooling.

Solution: Since a routine system tune-up can avoid this problem, it's better to leave it to The Weather Changers, your reliable Denver air conditioning provider. In addition to fixing current issues, our professionals check for wear and tear and take preventative measures to ensure that failures don't occur in the first place.

4. Hot Air Blowing Out

Why does your air conditioner produce more hot air than cold? Sweating inside the house is the last thing you need to feel any warmer. Even in the middle of the summer, this issue may arise.

Cause: If the compressor is overheating, hot air could be alerting you to a filthy air filter, a blockage in the ductwork, or debris. Another possibility is low refrigerant levels.

Solution: Arrange for duct cleaning at least once a year and replace air filters every month or two to avoid clogs. Make sure an expert inspects AC equipment for leakage before adding refrigerant. You avoid wasting money in this way.

5. Water Leaking


Most refrigerant leaks are difficult for homeowners to find because they frequently occur in coolant lines. But vividly colored spots close to the air conditioner indicate issues. While some condensation is to be expected outside the air conditioner, excessive wetness may indicate a water leak.

Cause: Over time, the AC system's lines and connections deteriorate, which might result in refrigerant leakage. Water leaks are typically caused by malfunctioning condensate pumps and blocked drainage lines.
 
Solution: As soon as you see a refrigerant leak, turn off the unit and give our staff a call. The compressor is one of the most expensive components to replace and can sustain significant damage from low refrigerant levels. Thankfully, problems can be found with routine maintenance inspections, and our qualified technicians can top off refrigerants as needed.

6. Unit Turning On and Off Repeatedly

Another name for this issue is short cycling. Rather than going through a full cooling cycle, the air conditioner repeatedly turns on. This is a severe problem that may cause the compressor to break.

Cause: Clogged air filters or incorrectly adjusted thermostats can occasionally be the only cause of an issue. Another possibility is that your home isn't equipped with a powerful enough air conditioner.

Solution: Getting assistance from one of our experts to measure the cooling requirements of your house is a fantastic option. This can assist you in selecting a thermostat and air conditioner that will maximise your energy savings while offering the best possible cooling.

7. A/C Unit Not Cooling


Ice surrounding the copper lineset and/or A/C coil indicates that the system is working too hard to chill your house. By taking care of this, you can significantly reduce your electricity costs.

Cause: While it's common for air conditioners in Denver, Aurora, Parker, and Centennial, Colorado, to run harder during the summer, freezing of the system is not normal. For the same amount of cooling, the AC must work twice as hard when the air filters or condenser units are dirty.

Solution: Ask one of our professionals to look for obstructions in the condenser, ductwork, and blower fan.

8. Air Conditioner Tripping Circuit Breaker Repeatedly

Every time your air conditioner turns on, does it trip a fuse? You are compelled to continuously pause your other activities due to this annoying problem.

Cause: The subpar AC installation is one of the issues behind this issue. It's not a good idea to hire the least expensive handyman to install your air conditioner. This problem will arise if the wiring or circuit breaker isn't rated for the output of the HVAC unit.

Solution: The HVAC specialists at Weather Changers are qualified to service electrical systems. Every maintenance checkup is accompanied by a thorough wiring inspection by our staff.
