Central Air Conditioner: Maintenance

Installing a central A/C is the best option for your property.

The central air conditioning unit resides outdoors throughout the year and needs at least one annual maintenance, or if there is any failure, an evaluation to extend the lifespan of the unit.

The annual maintenance must include:

- Clean the dust, leaves, and other debris from the condenser coils.

- Check that the condenser fins are not damaged.

- Ensure that the fan is not damaged.

Having a window or split air conditioning is not the same as having a centralized system. We will give you some tips to save energy when you have central air.

Central air

- Make sure a qualified professional gives maintenance to the unit every year, this will help it work more efficiently and prevent failures in the middle of the cold season.

- Keep the condenser and the filter clean; keep leaves, weeds, and other debris out of the external condenser.

- Do not let the sun's heat in. Close the blinds and curtains in the parts of the house that get the most sunlight; this will help to keep it cool and make the air conditioning require less energy to function.

Air Conditioner Repair: Compressor

The air conditioner compressor is a fundamental part of the refrigeration circuit, and one of the longest running when we put our equipment to work.

Air conditioning is our best friend in hot weather, so when the unit starts malfunctioning, it is worrisome. The compressor is one the most important parts of the air cooling process of the A/C equipment. If you notice the compressor is failing, the first thing you should do is call a professional.

Why is it failing?

The compressor could be failing due to factors such as excessive heat, which can make it burn out, either by overheating, low voltage, lack of refrigerant, obstructions in the evaporator, as well as a lack of ventilation. Since in a refrigeration system only oil and coolant must circulate, it can also fail due to contaminants, such as air and humidity, waxes, resins, dirt and metallic remains, among others.

Compressor failures must be examined directly by the technician who can verify the details and repair our air conditioning equipment properly; this can also be managed with regular maintenance of the unit.

Air Conditioner: Gas Leaks

If your air conditioner stopped cooling suddenly, it may be due to a lack of refrigerant gas.

Sometimes, we find ourselves with an air conditioning unit that stops cooling suddenly. The cause of this failure may be due to lack of gas. If this occurs, the air conditioner must not be used until it is checked by a technician. Otherwise, it could cause a compressor failure or start leaking gas.

Who should I call?

The gas leak is verified by checking the pressure with a meter. If the pressure gauge indicates to be at zero, it is a gas leak. This procedure should only be done by an expert, that's why you should call us.

5 Noises that Your Air Conditioner Makes and Their Meaning

If your air conditioner makes some unusual noises while it is working, do not overlook it: it may be a sign that it needs a repair.

Today's air conditioners are quieter than ever. These new units incorporate high sound damping technology. Therefore, if your air conditioner makes some unusual noise while it is working, do not overlook it, it may be a sign that it needs a repair.

The sooner you can determine what is causing the noise, the better; this will allow you to solve whatever problem your air conditioner has, right away.

1. One of the most common noises is rattling inside the unit. This type of noise may be a sign that there is a loose or broken piece inside. Another cause may be that the compressor needs to be replaced.

2. Metallic sound. Also a sign that there may be some loose piece inside, so the compressor probably needs to be replaced. This sound can also indicate that the indoor or outdoor fan and its blades are loose and hit other parts of the interior of the unit. These are problems that require fast action to avoid major problems.

3. Snapping. This sound during startup and shutdown is normal in the operation of the system. However, a permanent snapping sound is not. It could be a sign that the control or the thermostat is defective.

4.  Buzzing from your outdoor unit could mean:

- Loose parts.

- Debris accumulation.

- The outdoor fan motor is loose or about to fail.

- Fan blades are loose or out of balance.

- The copper lines outside collide with something.

- The condenser should be cleaned.

- The air filter must be changed.

- The coolant leaks and the air conditioner freezes.

5. Screeching. The fan motors of the outdoor and the indoor unit chirp loudly when they are malfunctioning. Some units make this sound when turned on. However, it should be possible to identify if it is a sound that it always makes or if it is new.

Air Conditioner: Do You Need a New One?

There comes a time when the signals become too evident, and we say a change is needed. Acquire new, more efficient equipment.

Electronic devices do not last forever, and the air conditioning equipment does not either. There comes a time when the signals become too evident, so we say that maybe you need to make a change, and opt for new, more efficient equipment. In this article, we will indicate the main signs that you will have to look out for to know if you need to change your equipment.

- It turns off only a few seconds after turning it on. It is one of the most evident indicators that something is not going well. It may be due to the bad state of the fan motor, which causes problems with the thermal sensor.

- It does not cool down. If the equipment you have in your house is already antique, it is likely that there is an obstruction of the capillary tubes, which leads to a deterioration of the temperature sensor and, consequently, to stop cooling.

- It does not turn on. Multiple causes that can lead to this problem, from a damaged compressor to a failure in the transformer or an electronic board that is damaged or wet. In any case, do not waste money on repairs: it is time to change your air conditioner for a new one.

- Increase in humidity in the environment. If your air conditioner does not dehumidify correctly, there is a failure on the contact sensors or the electronic board.

These are the main signs that tell you that you should buy a new air conditioner!
