The 3 Most Common Air Conditioning Repairs
The failure of air conditioning systems to function properly is often caused by one or more of the 3 most common air conditioning repairs. Many problems can be discovered in a system inspection by the certified technicians at Pinnacle Air Solutions of Cincinnati Ohio. The 3 most common Air Conditioning repairs that we make are identified below:
Low Refrigerant
Air conditioner refrigerant can leak, and the likely cause of the leak is a failure of the system to contain the refrigerant. Adding refrigerant is not the solution; finding the leak is. Our technician will locate the leak and make the repair required to fix it. The technician will test the repair and then charge the system with the amount of refrigerant needed to restore the performance and the efficiency of your air conditioner system. We will make sure that the refrigerant charge meets the manufacturer’s specification. An overcharged system is as much of a problem as an undercharged system is. Using the correct refrigerant is also important. Bear in mind that a refrigerant leak is also bad for the environment.
Compressor And Fan Controls
The compressor and fan controls can wear out due to a number of causes. One of the most frequent causes is the system turning off and on frequently. This condition can happen in an older system, and it can occur if the system is oversized for the home. Wire and terminal corrosion is also a problem and lose connections are as well. An inspection by the techs at Pinnacle Air Solutions will check electrical connections and contacts.
Frozen Coils
Various problems can cause the coils to freeze. Frozen oils cause reduced airflow resulting in the system failing to cool properly. One of the main causes of this problem is a buildup of dirt, debris and other organic obstructions. The coils can also freeze when the blower fan malfunctions because the cold air will not be blown out. Instead, the cold air remains inside the unit and freeze the coils. Another cause is a faulty control relay, which will cause the outside unit to continue running even when the thermostat does not call for cooling. The techs at Pinnacle Air Solutions can identify the cause and make the repairs quickly.
