At Wall Heating & Air, we see AC problems every day all summer long. Some of them are extremely common and come up all the time. These are probably things you’ve heard of or can imagine: the motor that powers the blower fan overheats, or a storm-blown tree limb damages a coil and refrigerant leaks out. One way to prevent both common and unusual issues is to schedule routine AC maintenance.
But some AC problems are more unusual. It might never have occurred to you that these things could happen! Thanks to our long experience and extensive training, though, we’re ready for even the strangest AC problems. Here are some odd ones to be aware of.
The last thing you want to do as a homeowner is to pay more for your utility bills than you need to, right? Well, if you aren’t keeping up on your air conditioning maintenance each year, this is exactly what can happen! Maintenance reduces repair needs by as much as 85% throughout the lifespan of the system, and also helps the unit work more efficiently, and last longer.
If you’ve lived in the Lawrenceville area through even just one summer, then you know your air conditioning system goes through a lot of work, right? Fortunately, these systems are durable and designed to handle the heat—when they are properly cared for, anyway.
The official end of summer is near, and while you may be ready to welcome cooler temperatures outside soon as well as the chance to stop using your air conditioner as often, this is no time to forget about your air conditioner, or its repair needs.
Ductless systems have been increasingly growing in popularity, and for good reason. Rather than operating through a network of ducts connected to an indoor air handler and evaporator unit, ductless units break up the indoor unit and blower fans to distribute air through handlers that operate independently of each other—meaning the temperature settings can be different for each air handler.
When you live somewhere like Lawrenceville, there’s a good chance that you already think about your air conditioner quite a bit. You’d understandably like to expect that it works efficiently and effectively throughout its lifespan. But what many homeowners don’t think about when it comes to their HVAC system is the “V” part of the equation—the ventilation that connects your cooling system to the outside, making the distribution of cooled air possible.
