Common Causes of Air Conditioning Repairs And How to Prevent Them
Category: Air Conditioning
The only thing more famous than the Georgia peach is possibly the infamous Georgia summer heat. There’s something alluring and enjoyable about it. However, what makes it tolerable is knowing you can escape it.
One of the things Dallas homeowners truly value is their air conditioning, that is as long as it is functional. Fail to keep your AC running properly and you are going to be stuck suffering through the hottest days of summer without any possibility of relief. Aside from dealing with repair needs in a prompt and professional manner, it is about trying to avoid the need for air conditioning repairs in the first place.
Yet the average homeowner doesn’t bother to call in a cooling specialist until their system has stopped working completely. This may be in the middle of the night or in the middle of a heat wave when your air conditioning contractor is backed up for days taking care of emergency repair work. A true industry expert helps teach consumers how to avoid problems, so see what you can learn from this.
Learning The Basics
One of the most common complaints homeowners have about cooling repairs, when working with someone other than Dr Cool, is that the problem isn’t fixed on the first attempt. It means having a repair person out time and time again until the problem is finally taken care of. In some cases, it ends up eventually needing replacement.
What we want to help you learn about, first and foremost, is how to avoid potential problems with your cooling system, or at least how to identify common ones.
Above all else, make it a point to schedule your tune-up work. Having regularly scheduled maintenance is the key to keeping your system in tiptop shape. This enables a professional to keep an eye on your air conditioning system and make adjustments and repairs along the way, in order to keep it running. That way, you are not waiting for the system to stop working completely in order to detect that there is a problem.
Low refrigerant is a common issue, and one that would be detected during an AC tune-up. Without refrigerant, your cooling system doesn’t have what it needs to remove heat and humidity from your home. What is important to find out is if you lack refrigerant due to leaks in your lines. If so, these leaks must be repaired before it will work properly.
Your filters need to be changed regularly. This is one task the average homeowner can take care of on their own. Change your filters each month, especially during times of peak usage. Otherwise, your dirty filters become clogged filters. Believe it or not, a part as cheap and easy to replace as an air filter can take down your entire air conditioning system. Clogged filters means blocked air flow, meaning your cooling system won’t be able to do its job.
Failing to get repairs in a timely manner is another problem. The key to success is scheduling tune-up service. However, if you fail to do so, at least make it a point to secure a professional for repair work, as soon as you even suspect you may need it. Minor repair needs can quickly develop into major ones. Neglected repair needs can quickly develop into the need for total replacement.
Work With the Right Pros
Another issue to avoid is picking the wrong self-proclaimed pro to handle the work. Basing your decision making just on rock bottom pricing is going to result in not getting good quality service. It is better to pay a reasonable price for quality work as opposed to getting cheap work that doesn’t get the job done.
