AC Issues and Repairs
Some of the most common air conditioning issues that homeowners face, from uneven cooling to strange noises, often have simple solutions. And when they don’t, you have Wm. Price Heating and Cooling you can rely on.
AC Is Inconsistently Cooling
Do you find some of your rooms are too cold while others are still on the warm side? Many Ohio homeowners have trouble with inconsistent cooling. While factors such as the age and design of your home can cause these consistency issues, you may also have an issue with your duct system.
One of our trained professionals can come and inspect your air conditioner and duct system to confirm the diagnosis and recommend proper repairs.
AC Is Not Cooling
If your air conditioner is simply blowing warm air, you may want to check simple things like your filter. Dirty filters are easy to change and can prevent your system from functioning properly. They can also decrease your system’s efficiency.
In fact, you can save between 5 and 15 percent of the energy used for your air conditioning by changing your filter in combination with other energy-saving actions.
In some cases, your AC may not be cooling because it needs its condenser coils cleaned. Our HVAC professionals can help. These coils are delicate and are sometimes hard to access. Save yourself the time and hassle, and call Wm. Price Heating and Cooling or request service online.
While we are there, we can also confirm whether your lack of cooling issues are the result of a refrigerant leak. If so, our trained technicians can find the leak and recommend necessary repairs. Mechanical failures may also cause cooling issues. A well-skilled HVAC technician should review your system as a whole to properly diagnose and repair these issues.
AC Has No Air Movement
When you place your hand on a room’s register and feel no air blowing, even though your air conditioning unit is turned on, it may be a problem with the blower motor or possibly frozen indoor coil.
Check your thermostat settings and see if it seems to be working properly (and that no one else in the house changed the settings) to rule it out as the source of your problem. Next, check to see if a breaker tripped—it’s easy to fix your tripped breaker on your own, just push the switch back to the on position.
If the previous sources were not the issue, then contact 2197A07997 for an inspection/diagnosis. Most reasons for no cold air blowing from your system are issues which require a professional to repair.
Ice Accumulation on AC
Ice in Ohio during the summer? It may sound weird, but it does happen. If you notice ice or a frosty layer accumulating around your indoor coil, refrigerant lines, or air conditioning unit, this is not normal and should be diagnosis by a professional.
If you notice ice accumulation around your system, the system should be turned off to allow time for it to defrost prior to a service technician arriving. A common cause for a “frozen” system is poor air flow. Dirty air filters, closed dampers, or blocked vents or ducts can restrict airflow and cause ice to form on the unit.
Another sign of an issue with your air conditioning is if you notice water leaking. This could be from a clogged drain or possibly a frozen indoor coil. If you notice any of these issues, call our office for one of our professionally trained technicians to come and evaluate the system.
