Air conditioning units are typically rugged appliances, and sometimes through no fault of the homeowner, they fail to perform as expected. The most common reasons for faulty air conditioning units may include the following:
- Leaking Refrigerant -; A properly functioning air conditioner will not leak freon. Common causes of leaking freon are ruptured evaporator coil or condenser coil. This has to be fixed by replacing the part, adding additional refrigerant is not the solution.
- Insufficient Maintenance -; Allowing the filter and coils to accumulate dirt forces the compressor or fans to work harder often causing them to fail prematurely. Running the air conditioner for long stretches of time (months) without routine cleaning is a recipe for disaster.
- Thermostat Issues -; Window air conditioners, or room air conditioning units, have a temperature sensor which monitors the air entering the evaporative coil. If the sensor is out of position, this will cause the unit to run constantly or erratically. Whole-house air conditioning units have thermostat sensors which require calibration and need to be checked periodically. Another cause could simply be a dead battery.
