Air conditioning repair Philadelphia can range
anywhere beginning from the simple DIY solutions
to a number of complex procedures that will
require the services of an expert AC repair
technician. However, many of these problems can
easily be avoided if there are regular cleaning
and maintenance periodic cleaning of the AC
grill and filter can often lead to an efficient
AC system. Dirty filters have a buildup of
particles the end up choking the ducts that cause
inefficiency but only some simple cleaning can
help you to deal with such an issue. Some of the
most common air conditioning repairs include.

Unit wont turn on Before you rush to call the
HVAC repair man, you must check to ensure that
the thermostat is set at cool and the set
temperature is lower than the current room
temperature. Make sure also that the power is
actually turned on at the outlet and hasnt been
shut off. A typical HVAC system should be on a
240-volt circuit and if it doesnt turn on, you
should also check at the electrical panel because
there are chances that a breaker could have
tripped or a fuse blown. Make sure also that the
240-volt disconnect that is located next to the
compressor has not been shut off.

Condensation buildup This is a common reason why
many homeowners will call the AC repair
technician and it is normally caused by a leaking
tube if this is the case the tube will be
replaced. You may also want to test the
condensate pump by pouring water into its pan. If
the pump fails to start there are chances it is
not receiving power or it is actually broken
down this requires that it becomes repaired or
replaced altogether. The other reason this
problem occurs is when there is ice blocking the
tube as a result of a dirty filter. However, if
the filter isnt dirty, the air conditioner
refrigerant level may have turned low and only an
air conditioning repair technician should be
allowed to refill it.

Too much noise There are times when that air
conditioning unit makes pinging or popping noises
that usually come from the ductwork. This could
be caused by thermal expansion or air blowing
over a loose flap of metal. It is important that
you inspect the ductwork regularly until you are
able to identify the true source of the sound.
When you finally locate it, you can make a small
dent on the metal so as to give it a more rigid
surface that will not expand and come into
contact because of the normal heating and
cooling. However, if it is a normal squealing or
grinding sound, you must shut off the system and
call your AC repair Philadelphia expert
immediately to check the motors bearings that
may be in need of replacement.

No cold air If there is very little or no cool
air coming from the unit, the reason may be a
dirty blower which you can clean on your own.
However, if it is due to an aging compressor,
call a trained HVAC repair expert to deal with it.
