Your home air conditioner is one of the most important appliances in your home. While air conditioners that are well-maintained can last for a long time, it always seems as if they malfunction at the worst possible times. Fortunately, many of the reasons for the malfunction can be fixed. Before deciding to replace your air conditioner, there are several common AC malfunctions that you should be aware of and consider repairing.
Low Freon
The most common cause of a malfunctioning air conditioner is that there is low Freon. Freon is the refrigerant that makes the air cool. If your unit is producing good air flow that is warm, the low Freon is likely the cause. Replacing the Freon is normally very affordable, but the condition could be the result of a leak that can be more expensive to fix.
Outside Fan Broken
While an air conditioner works by producing cold air, it also works by removing warm air from your home. The fan in your outdoor unit is responsible for doing this and if it is broken, it will be nearly impossible for the unit to work. Furthermore, this can cause other parts of the unit to overwork. Because of this, you should have the fan fixed or replaced immediately.
Faulty Wiring
If your AC unit is not turning on, or works inconsistently, it could be the result of faulty wiring. Faulty wiring can have a lot of impacts on the unit and your home. It could cause an electrical short, start a fire, or even trip your circuits.
In conclusion, your home air conditioner unit is very important as it will control the comfort of your home. If your AC unit is not working properly, there are several fixable malfunctions that could be causing the inefficiency.
