3 Common Air Conditioning Problems

Even as we approach the end of October, a time of the year during which many homeowners throughout the country are switching over to their heating systems, temperatures throughout the Boca Raton, FL area remain quite high. This means that we are still using our air conditioning systems, and will be throughout most of the year.

Even as we approach the end of October, a time of the year during which many homeowners throughout the country are switching over to their heating systems, temperatures throughout the Boca Raton, FL area remain quite high. This means that we are still using our air conditioning systems, and will be throughout most of the year. This also means, of course, that our air conditioners suffer more wear and tear than those in cooler parts of the country. Because we really cannot afford to be without our home cooling systems in this area, it is important that we keep our air conditioners in peak working condition. You will undoubtedly encounter problems of some sort eventually. When you do, contact All-Pro Electrical & Air Conditioning immediately to schedule professional air conditioning repairs.

Low Airflow

Does it seem like the cooled air pouring forth from your duct registers is lacking in oomph? That may be due to the fact that a clogged air filter is resulting in high airflow resistance, cutting down on the strength with which your system delivers cooled air throughout your home. If this is a very localized problem, though, it may also be due to the fact that the ductwork serving a single area of your home is compromised, leaking, or otherwise damaged.

Icing on System

Some people mistakenly think that ice on their air conditioner just means that the system is really doing its job. After all, the system is there to cool your home down, right? In truth, any sign of ice on your air conditioner may be a sign of serious issues. While low airflow and dirty filters themselves may lead to icing on the coils of your system, a refrigerant leak could also be to blame. Ice acts as an insulator, and cause serious system damages.

Short-Cycling

Does your air conditioner seem to cycle on and off too frequently? This may not sound like a big deal, but it actually puts a lot of unnecessary stress on the system, and can also cause your AC to guzzle up energy. If your system is not properly sized for your home, there is no quick fix or repair that can resolve the problem. However, the source of the issue could lie with your thermostat or system controls, so by all means contact us to have the situation evaluated by a qualified professional.
