Air Condition Problems and Its Solution

Air Conditions Problems and Its Solutions

• Air Conditioner Compressor Problems such as an aging air conditioner compressor motor that is at or near the end of its life may be unable to properly compress the returning refrigerant gas to a sufficiently high pressure. If you have a hard-starting air conditioner compressor that "hums" but doesn't start, it may be possible to get more life out of the compressor motor with a simple starting capacitor rather than a costly whole new compressor motor.

• Cooling Coil Ice-Up on the air conditioner air handler or evaporator coil.It is a result of the reduced air flow due to a dirty air conditioning filter which can cause the evaporator coil (the cooling coil) in the air handler to become blocked by ice, stopping or significantly reducing cool air output from the system.

• Cooling Coil (Evaporator Coil) Leaks, Condensing Coil Leaks is when your A/C or air conditioning system used to work fine but now is blowing only warm air, it is possible that you have lost refrigerant in the system. A refrigerant leak can occur anywhere in the refrigerant piping system, in the cooling coil, or in the condensing coil.

• Air Conditioning Dehumidification Problems. It  is when air conditioning system cools but does not dehumidify the room. The most common cause of inadequate dehumidification by an air conditioning system is the installation of a cooling unit which has too much capacity, or is "over-sized" for the space it is being used to cool.

• Duct problems or Damaged Air Conditioning Ducts such as ducts which have been improperly routed and are crimped, crushed, or have excessive bends can reduce cool air flow in an otherwise properly functioning system.

• Refrigerant problems like Improper air conditioner refrigerant charge - too little, too much, too leaky is an air conditioner system which has lost some of its refrigerant will sometimes run too cold at the evaporator coil, leading to coil icing and loss of cool air delivery in the home.

• Air Conditioner Won't Start due to electrical problems, check all switches and controls, including service switches, including outside by the compressor, inside at the air handler, and fuses or circuit breakers in the electrical panel.
