Common AC Problems & How to Fix Them
Throughout the Sarasota area, we see several common air conditioning problems. Here are a few, with some tips on how to handle them.
My AC Won’t Turn On
Check the circuit breakers in your electrical system to ensure the unit is getting power. Also, check your thermostat to ensure the batteries are good and installed properly.
AC is Running but Not Cooling
Check the thermostat. If it’s blank, it may need fresh batteries. Inspect and replace the air filter if it’s dirty or clogged. The filter may also be a problem if the bottom of the unit is cold and sweating. Check for blocked vents or dirty condenser coils.
Weak Airflow from Vents
When there’s weak, inconsistent airflow from your vents, make sure vents are open and unblocked. Check for debris, trash, animal evidence, leaves, etc. If there are no blockages or obstructions, it’s possible there may be a blower motor or ductwork issue.
Strange Noises Coming from the AC
Rattling or grinding noises may indicate loose parts, buzzing may indicate poor electrical connections or faulty electrical components, and high-pitched squealing noises may indicate a motor or belt problem.
Water Leaking Around the Unit
Water leaking or pooling around the AC unit could indicate a number of causes. Turn off the system and check for blockages, particularly around the condensate drain. If the evaporator coil is frozen, that could also create pooling as the ice melts.
When to Call a Professional
If the information above doesn’t help correct the issue, it’s time to call a professional like the ones at Del-Air. It’s particularly important to partner with a professional if you suspect electrical problems, refrigerant leaks, or system failures.
