The weather this time of year will make anyone thankful for their diligent, dependable air conditioner for keeping them comfortable. The relief you feel entering a cool home from being outside in a scorching summer day can't be beat. There are a multitude of reasons you may walk in one day and find that your AC isn't keeping things as cool as it used to. Sometimes, it's simply too hot outside for your air conditioner to keep up (this could be a sizing deficiency), or possibly your filter has become clogged, your thermostat may be the culprit or perhaps your coils are grimy.
An AC that isn't keeping you cool may also be running down on refrigerant. If this is the circumstance, there are a few tell-tale signs you can be on the look-out for to hint it is time to call in the team at All Seasons Comfort Systems Inc in Reeds Spring for air conditioner service.
Increase in Utility Bills
If you've seen an increase in your utility bills, that is a practical sign of low refrigerant. Your air conditioner will work tougher and longer hoping to cool your home if it is lacking refrigerant. This will bring a clear increase in your monthly bills.
Your Home Isn't Cool
If you're uncovering that your air conditioner isn't maintaining the temperature set on the thermostat or that it's taking extensive periods to cool things down, you'll want to have your system inspected at by a professional. A technician will be able to address the problem occurring with your unit and get you cooled down quick.
Ice Buildup or Water
A sure sign of trouble is finding any ice on your outdoor AC unit. Low refrigerant will cause your unit's evaporator coil to get too cold, which can cause the moisture around your refrigerant line to freeze. A frozen compressor line could lead to compressor damage, which is a pricey repair. It's a good idea to call an expert at the first sign of ice or water.
If any of these symptoms of low refrigerant are occurring with your air conditioner is an important to call in a pro to get things looked at and fixed before it leads to a major breakdown.
