Top Five Reasons Why Your AC Is Not Working Properly

Top Five Reasons Why Your AC Is Not Working Properly

1. Your Coolant Is Low. The refrigerant used in your system will break down over time. When the level of coolant hits a low level, it will stop working to prevent damaging the unit. A low coolant level may also be the result of a refrigerant leak. The only way to correct this problem is to have a professional service check and fill your unit.

2. Your Compressor Coils Are Dirty or Frozen. If the compressor coils are dirty, they cannot work properly. If they have frozen, there is a good chance there is a leak in your system. Your compressor may also have problems working correctly. There are many small parts within the compressor system that can wear out over time and cause your unit to stop working.

3. Your AC Unit Is Too Small. Some homeowners will purchase a unit that is not the right size for their homes. If your unit is not designed to cool the amount of square footage that you have, it will soon break down. It may work for a while, but it will struggle, and the extra work will cause parts to wear quickly.

4. Mechanical Failure. The condenser or the evaporator may have a mechanical failure. Motors break over time. This is especially true if your unit is over seven years old. You may also have a broken valve that signals the unit to turn on and off.

5. Electrical Issues. Outdoor AC units are a great hiding place for many different wild animals and bugs. Some of these rodents, small mammals, and bugs will actually chew on electrical wiring.
