What are signs of wear and tear on an air conditioner? If you notice that your air conditioner is starting to wear down, it doesn’t always mean replacement is necessary. However, some issues are more severe than others. The first sign will be an increase in electricity use to run your air conditioner. You may also notice that the cooling unit starts to turn on and off frequently, leading to uneven cooling throughout your home as it pumps different amounts of air into various areas. If you have a newer model that is less than 5 years old, most issues should be handled through proper AC maintenance, including having your coils cleaned and cooling units checked at least once a year. However, if you own a unit that’s more than 10 years old, an air conditioning installation of a newer model may alleviate these problems and reduce your energy use, as contemporary systems are generally much more efficient than those made 10 or more years ago. 

My AC keeps icing up? An air conditioning system that keeps icing up can result from various factors. The first step is to check your air filter, as a dirty air filter will restrict airflow across the evaporator coil and cause ice to form. Ice buildup on the air conditioning unit can put excessive stress on the blower motor, compressor, and components inside the unit. If this condition is not addressed immediately, it can lead to serious issues such as motor failure, compressor failure, damage to your home, refrigerant leaks, and even larger refrigerant leaks. If your air filter is clean, call us immediately for air conditioning repair to prevent further damage to your home and/or your air conditioning equipment. 

I have a manufacturer’s warranty, so do I really need a maintenance contract too? Maintenance contracts are beneficial as they satisfy the requirements and obligations of all major air conditioning manufacturer warranties. It is crucial to remember that manufacturer warranties are only valid if the equipment has been used and maintained per their specifications and recommendations, similar to how car manufacturers require servicing and maintenance throughout the warranty period. 

Why does my system seem to need more refrigerant each year? An air conditioning system that needs regular recharging of refrigerant is likely leaking and requires repair. Leaking refrigerant not only causes your unit to lose cooling capacity and consume more energy but is also detrimental to the environment. Refrigerant gases released into the atmosphere significantly contribute to ozone layer depletion. Be sure to choose an HVAC services provider that uses the latest technology to detect refrigerant leaks, as traditional methods can be time-consuming and ultimately cost you more money. 

What size system should I have installed? The right size system is crucial for your home comfort. An oversized system will short cycle and fail to control humidity effectively, while an undersized system will run continuously. We always execute a computerized load calculation for optimal air conditioning installation.
