Do I Really Need An Air Conditioner Check? Mother Nature Says Yes!
Whether you believe in global warming or not, there is no denying it is hot out there on this 4th of July. People will not look at you sideways in a mocking gesture if you say your best friend is a machine aka an air conditioner.
It does not matter if it is a mini-split system, high velocity system, fan coil system, central air conditioner or your basic window a/c. You depend on it to be there when you need it and you need it when the temperature is this hot.
Having your cooling system checked in the late spring or early summer will achieve peace of mind knowing that any potential causes of failure are likely to be discovered during an air conditioner check. Some potential issues are:
- Low Refrigerant causing your A coil to freeze and reduce air flow and cooling ability.
- A leak or hole in the a/c or cooling line resulting in a flat air conditioner. This may mean a contaminated system resulting in a new a/c.
- Compressor going bad resulting in blown fuses and the need for a new a/c.
- Bad a/c fan motor.
- Dirty fins from cotton wood trees.
So, to answer the question “Do I need an air conditioner check?”, yes, yes you do!
You can schedule your air conditioner check online by clicking A/C Check or calling Minneapolis Saint Paul Plumbing Heating Air.
Why Is My Central Air Conditioning Not Cooling In MN? Look To The Trees.
Spring is a wonderful time of the year. Warm days, cool nights and the fresh look of everything new. One of the passages of spring is the cottonwood seeds floating through the air giving the impression of snow without the cold. Cottonwood seeds may give the impression of being harmless. However, it is one of the leading causes of service calls for no cooling in your home.
Your central air conditioner is dependent on air flow to operate efficiently. Air is drawn threw fins by a big fan in your a/c unit outside your home. This air is circulated from outside the condenser unit threw the metal fins and out the top of the unit via a fan. This air is used to reduce the heat of the refrigerant that is circulated through pipes or refrigerant lines going into your house and into an A coil that your furnace blower motor blows air over. I know this is more than you wanted to know, but it provides a little background as to what happens when your a/c is working properly.
The problem with cottonwood seeds is that they tend to get sucked into the fins of your air conditioner condenser as a result of the air flow mentioned above. The more seeds sucked into the fins the less air that is available to cool the refrigerant that is flowing through the system. This results in the a/c either shutting down from overheating or not being able to cool the air in your home as necessary. You will probably hear the condenser fan running as fast as it can while it gets warmer in your home.
Four actions you can take to help lengthen the life of you central air conditioning system, safe money and remain comfortable are:
- Clean the coils of the air conditioner with water or air. Be careful to not bend the fins.
- Clean all trees, bushes or miscellaneous stuff away from the air conditioner unit.
- Provide a shaded environment or put the air conditioner on the side where the sun does not shine in the afternoon.
- Have a contractor perform a yearly clean and check on your air conditioning system.
At Minneapolis Saint Paul Plumbing Heating Air, we can help you keep your system in top condition or install a new HVAC system when you need it.
