Have A Humid House That Won't Get Cool? Call An AC Repair Service Fast To Battle The Heat

The hot days feel even hotter when your AC unit isn't working properly, and if your unit isn't removing the humidity out of your home and the house isn't getting down to the temperature you set, you need a professional. Find an AC repair service that can send a team member to your home to check out the unit.

There are a lot of issues that could be the cause of your problems when you have a unit that is a few years old or older. Especially if you don't maintain the unit properly. Talk with the repair man about the following concerns today. 

Clean or Replace the Sensors and Coils

The coils and sensors can become coated in dust over time, making it difficult for them to function properly. The AC repair team will clean the sensors and look to make sure there is no corrosion or flaws. If there are flaws, repairs will be needed. This can be a fast fix to regulating the temperature in your home, and why the unit isn't sending more cold air through the property.

Change the Filter

Sometimes it's unknown by homeowners that the air conditioner has a filter that should be replaced regularly. More frequent replacement is needed if you run the unit a lot during the warmer months. This can be intimidating if the filter is directly inside the unit. Changing the filter will:

  • Improve efficiency by 5-15 percent
  • Enhance air quality
  • Reduce fire hazards
  • Make it easier to circulate cool air through the home

Have the air conditioning repair professional change out the filter and clean the area where the filter is to remove any buildup and dust or lint.

Check for Refrigerant Leaks

If the refrigerant is leaking inside the unit and the levels are low, that can cause AC malfunctions. This is why there isn't cold enough air. This means the storage unit for the refrigerant has damage and it will need to be replaced right away. This could also indicate the entire unit needs to be defrosted and cleaned. Leaked refrigerant can freeze mechanical components inside the air conditioner.

Stop trying to turn the temperature down with the thermostat while sitting in high heat and humidity in your home. Call an AC repair company to come to the property and assess your ac unit.
