Having an air conditioner in your home or workplace during the hot summer months are a blessing. Unfortunately, they can fail without any warnings. As the air conditioner gets older the more problems it can start to have. It can be a leakage of refrigerant, electric control failure, loud noises, frozen coils and more. Many times there are mistakes made with the size of the air conditioner that was installed. It could be too small or too large for the room. If you want to avoid some of the problems with your air conditioner later on you should make sure that you have the proper size installed. If it is improperly installed it could end up having poor air flow and leaking ducts, making home air conditioner repairs necessary. Some of the problems that can occur with your air conditioner a homeowner can repair but with some you may need to hire an air conditioning repair contractor. Here are some of the problems you can have with your air conditioner. • Refrigerant leaking—there are two reasons that your air conditioner might be low on refrigerant. During installation it was undercharged or you have a leaking air conditioner. If it is leaking just adding more refrigerant will not fix the problem. You will have to an air conditioning repair technician fix the leak and then test the repair. Once it is fixed they will recharge the system with the right amount of refrigerant. It will work at its best efficiency when the amount of refrigerant matches exactly to the specifications of the manufacturer. Overcharging or undercharging will affect the performance of your air conditioner. • Bad odor—air conditioners undergo constant cooling and warming, resulting in a quick buildup of moisture. If there is inefficient evaporation of the stagnant water it can result in fungi, mildew, molds, etc thriving in the air conditioning unit. Not changing the filters regularly can also cause bad orders. • Wailing noise—sometimes you may hear a deafening, loud noise coming from your air conditioner, which usually are caused by the fan belt. It can become dislodged occasionally. The problem can easily be solved by restoring the fan belt to the right place. You should also check the bearings in the motor while you are fixing the fan belt. You may need to replace or lubricate the belt also. When you have a problem with your air conditioner and are not sure what it is call an air conditioning repair contractor to check it out. You should also have it serviced before you start to use if for the summer to fix any problems.
