During the warm summer, air conditioners are the most popular choice for keeping our homes comfortable. In the cooler weather, an HVAC is put to the test. Unfortunately, many homeowners would instead try a quick and easy solution to a problem than call for help when that doesn't work. However, we still recommend contacting a professional if you're having trouble.
However, before we get into some quick fixes, it's important to note that experts can always determine the root of an AC problem.
A perplexed homeowner is better off having a Rescue One Air expert check their system than making quick repairs and hoping the problem stops.
When you need fast AC service in Phoenix, AZ, call Rescue One Air.
You can do some things to ease the burden on your system and mitigate the damage until professional help arrives if you're having difficulties.
Performing Repairs and Upgrading Your House
The complex nature of HVAC equipment makes it unsafe for homeowners to perform many types of maintenance and repair themselves.
However, there are several things that homeowners can do to aid in the maintenance of their system and the correction of minor problems. Let's look at some improvements.
Check the Power Switchboard
Constant problems with the electricity in the home are a fact of life. People call us all the time in a panic because their air conditioner won't turn on, and they're afraid it's completely busted. But, in most cases, the power source is to blame.
Powering an air conditioner requires tapping into your home's electrical system because of the appliance's high energy consumption. Most of the time, an electrical problem prevents them from starting, and they trip the breaker. So first, check your home's electrical system to see if your air conditioner won't turn on; if you're unsure what to look for, hire an expert.
Verify the Filter's Working Order
Although it may seem like a broken record, please know that the frequent calls for a clean air conditioner filter are not without merit. Homeowners can easily change their filters, making this an excellent maintenance task for those who enjoy tinkering with mechanicals.
By regularly changing the air filter, you can reduce the workload on your air conditioner and improve the quality of the air it processes. Please get in touch with us if you have already tried changing the air filter and are still experiencing difficulties.
Check Your Temp Regulator
The thermostat is the "brain" of your air conditioner. You wouldn't believe how often we get called to look into air conditioning problems, only to find that the thermostat is to blame for sending the HVAC system the wrong instructions.
Look at the thermostat to ensure it is set the way you like it. Then, try adjusting the temperature slightly to see if the air conditioner reacts accordingly. If something is wrong, or you suspect that your thermostat is too old or not functioning correctly, it is time to get a new one.
