Your residential AC system runs thousands of hours every year keeping your home cool and comfortable during the hottest months of summer. If you have it serviced and professionally maintained, it should last around 15 years. However, no matter how well you maintain your AC unit, extended usage over the years will take its toll, and breakdowns will occur.
When problems arise with your system, and it’s struggling to keep you cool, NextGen Mechanical is the company to call for the highest quality AC repair in Park Ridge, IL.
AC Repair Issues
Your home’s AC unit is a rather complex and sophisticated system, and as it works to keep summer heat at bay, any number of things can go wrong. Here are some of the more common sources of AC problems.
- Low refrigerant level: If your air conditioner is blowing warm air, the source of the problem may be a low refrigerant level possibly caused by a leak in the refrigerant line. In that case, our trained technicians will find and correct the source of the problem.
- Frozen evaporator coil: This coil absorbs heat from the warm air flowing through your AC system, and a malfunction that misdirects the flow of warm air can cause the coils to freeze over.
- Dirty condenser coils: These are located in the outdoor part of your unit, and the condenser coils can become grimy when not regularly maintained, leading to mechanical issues with your system.
- Fan malfunction: Fans control airflow into and out of the unit, and they can malfunction for any number of reasons. A fan problem should be fixed immediately as it may lead to a compressor failure.
- Duct problems: Sometimes, the cooling problem is more with your home’s ductwork rather than your AC unit. If your ductwork system isn’t in good condition, a lot of cool air may be escaping into your attic and driving up your energy bills.
- Thermostat malfunction: If your thermostat isn’t working right, your AC system will not function as it should. When your thermostat was first installed, it may have been miscalibrated, or the installer may have selected incorrect settings.
- Clogged drains: In keeping your home cool, your AC unit is constantly removing moisture from the air in your home, and if your drains are clogged, the backflow of accumulated moisture may damage your AC unit.
