Many things can contribute to a air conditioning system that runs poorly. In the Carolinas our cooling system can run from April until the end of October, which is 7 months of hard work 24/7.
Things that can contribute to NO COOLING are:
- Dirty Air Filter
- Dirty Evaporator Coil
- Dirty Condenser
- Low Refrigerant
All of these are due to lack of maintenance- a cooling system more than 3yrs. Old should be maintained every year not checked.
Things that contribute to a broken cooling system can be:
- Low Refrigerant
- Old Contactor
- Low or swollen Capacitor
- Leaking
These items are a little more involved but can be found on a regular maintenance and performance service.
The heart & soul of your cooling system is the compressor, it depends on all of the items to work at peak efficiency with minimum effort.
Take care of the small things & it will extend the life of your system.
