To give our clients an idea of some of the problems they may face down the road, here are some of the most common types of air conditioner repair in Alexandria.
Almost all air conditioners rely on a system of pressurized refrigerant to run. Responsible for heat transfer, your AC must be filled with the proper amount of refrigerant to run properly. Refrigerant leaks can drastically lower the efficiency of your unit or cause it to fail.
Capacitors control and limit the flow of electricity through the electrical components of your AC. Faulty capacitors can cause a range of issues, including the total prevention of start-up.
The compressor is responsible for compressing the refrigerant after it’s been heated to cool it off for recirculation through the system. Without a properly functioning compressor, the system will eventually overheat and stop working.
Thermostat issues are tricky. As the main control interface between you and your HVAC system, a thermostat issue can present itself as much more serious than it is.
If you’re having thermostat issues, now is the best time to consider upgrading to a smart thermostat!
The evaporator is the main indoor component of your standard AC system and is responsible for chilling the air that is to be circulated through your house. Evaporator coil leaks can greatly reduce your system’s ability to cool and can cause freezing.
The counterpart of the evaporator, the condenser coils are responsible for giving hot refrigerant a place to circulate. Its heat can then be dissipated outside and it can be compressed and recirculated through the system.
Filters are important components of the standard AC system and are responsible for filtering out particulates from the air. We recommend that you replace your filters every few months. Failing to do so can severely limit air flow which will greatly reduce the overall efficiency of your system.
The best way to avoid all the problems mentioned above, and even the ones we didn’t mention, is by ensuring that your AC system receives regular tune-ups and inspections.
