Top 4 Most Common AC Problems

Service companies exist for a reason. That’s because AC & Heating Systems will break down. And it seems they always break down at the wrong time, during summer when you are having a birthday party. Or how about this one–you went on vacation and came back and your house is humid and hot?

Top 4 Most Common AC Problems and Their Repairs
Top 4 Most Common AC Problems and Their Repairs

Here are the list of the most common AC problems:

  • “My AC system is blowing air but it is warm air”: Well this could be several problems but most often when a system is blowing air inside and it’s not cold air, it’s because something is wrong solely with the unit outside. The inside part just blows air in the summer. That’s all it really does. So if the outside AC Condenser is not cooling that air with the Evaporator, then you will just get warm air.

  • “My AC system is making weird noises on and off” : Often times customers will call and state that their AC system is making weird noises outside, like an on and off sound. This could be the dual run cap. This item is the most common repair in the summer. It provides power to the compressor and the condenser fan motor. Without this piece of equipment operating you will not get cold air, no matter how low you put the thermostat. Call Texas Discount Air@ 682-214-4822 (HVAC) to have this problem solved.
  • “I see ice on the outside unit” : This is a very serious problem and often times is because the ice has already been building up for hours on the inside part and has just worked its way down to the outside unit. Do not let this problem go to the wayside by simply defrosting the AC unit, and then using it again once the ice is thawed. When this happens you merely delay the problem. The current most common item that causes freezing up of AC units in the Dallas & Ft Worth, Mid-Cities areas is a Refrigerant leak. This is becoming more and more of a problem. As AC systems get older, the copper becomes more annealed. When this happens it weakens and joints fail causing R-22 to leak out. This is even happening in the newer 410a systems. Call Texas Discount Air@ 682-214-4822 (HVAC) to have this problem fixed.
  • “My AC air is only coolish”: This is related to another problem in your AC. Your system is probably cooling sometimes and not cooling other times as it fails intermittently. Believe it or not, some mechanical problems will reveal themselves only every few cycles as opposed to a constant problem. I hate to be redundant but Call Texas Discount Air@ 682-214-4822 (HVAC)
