Common Air Conditioner Problems

Here are some of the most common broken components found inside a malfunctioning A/C unit that call for air conditioning repair:

• Faulty air compressor/condenser
• Defective air handling unit
• Defect in the duct system and the air leaks

Old air conditioners eventually suffer from one or more of these problems. If your air conditioning unit is fairly new and you still encounter malfunctioning parts or warm air blow, you should consider replacing the unit for a higher quality brand instead of simply repairing the poorly functioning air conditioner.

Identifying the Air Conditioning Problem

1. Faulty compressor/condenser: Air conditioning repair begins with checking the blower unit. Make sure you feel air coming out. Is the air giving off a sufficient cooling effect? If the air flow is weak, the first step is to clean the unit. If the the cooling impact doesn't improve after a thorough cleaning, you know you need to replace the blower unit.

3. Duct system: Are there blockages in the ducts? Do the filters carry air from one room to the other? If not, there may be an air leak somewhere, and instead of air conditioning repair, you may benefit from duct cleaning.
