Top-Quality AC Repair in Ocoee
Your air conditioning system has a lot of moving components that function to pull heat out of the air inside of your home and transport it outside. By removing this indoor heat, you’ll feel cooler in your house. Contrary to popular belief, an air conditioning system doesn’t create cold air. Rather, it simply pulls the heat out of the existing air.
Unfortunately, it’s common for some of your AC unit’s components to experience a malfunction from time to time, including:
- Starter capacitor
- Thermostat
- Compressor pump
- Coils
One of the most obvious signs that your air conditioning system isn’t working correctly is that it won’t turn on. The best place to start looking is your thermostat. If the thermostat screen is blank, there’s no power going to it. This lack of power could be due to dead batteries, a tripped circuit breaker, loose wiring, or even a faulty thermostat. If installing new batteries doesn’t solve the problem, our technicians can further assess the issue to determine if the problem lies with the thermostat or its wiring.
If your thermostat screen is working fine but your unit won’t turn on, you want to listen to see if you hear a clicking noise from your outdoor condenser unit. If you do, then your starter capacitor is faulty. Without this capacitor to give a jolt of energy to the compressor pump, the pump can’t circulate heat out of your home. You’ll need one of our technicians to replace the faulty starter capacitor with a new one.
One frustrating issue you may run into is your AC unit doesn’t seem to be adequately cooling your house. The air coming out of your vents may feel lukewarm, and it can seem like your cooling system is constantly running without getting your home down to temperature.
In most cases, the culprit behind this inefficient cooling issue is low refrigerant. As joints in your refrigerant lines and coils open up, they can allow refrigerant to seep out. Without adequate refrigerant, your AC unit can only remove a small amount of heat from the air.
One particularly perplexing issue is having no airflow coming out of your air vents. When you head outside, your condenser unit will be running fine.
The root cause of this issue lies within your blower compartment. It could be a frayed fan belt that finally broke off the pulley or a faulty blower motor that needs replacement. Our HVAC technicians can easily evaluate your equipment to identify the faulty component.
