The season is changing and the warmer weather is gradually filling the air with its sun-bathed goodness. As the weather outside gets hotter, the weather inside your home is also getting warmer. Unfortunately, if your HVAC unit is not at top performance, this warmer weather might not be so comfortable inside your home after a while. A contractor who installs and repairs Air Conditioning Systems Grand Haven, Michigan wants to talk to you about some common issues with your air conditioning that you may be able to troubleshoot.
Murphy’s Law dictates that your air conditioning will most likely experience its woes on the hottest day of the year and when your wallet is the emptiest. Twelve years is the average lifespan of air conditioners and HVAC units. However, not all trouble spells the end of your unit. These are some things you can troubleshoot and perhaps take care of yourself.
Your air conditioner won’t turn on. It may be that your thermostat isn’t properly set or that you are not getting power to your unit. Check the thermostat batteries and check your circuit breaker to ensure it hasn’t tripped. If nothing is out of order, you may need to call a professional.
Your room or home isn’t cooling as it did last year. Check your filter, which needs to be changed every 30-90 days or so, anyway.
If your a/c refuses to kick in at all after you have done much troubleshooting, you may have a burned out compressor, which could be a costly repair.
