Air Conditioning Repair in Greeley
Your AC can break down for a variety of reasons. For instance, when your air filters get dirty from trapping dust, pollen, and other particles, they restrict airflow in and out of your system. When air is not circulating freely, your AC fan motors will have to work harder to pull or push air. This significantly degrades the fan blades, belts, and bearings.
Also, if you set your thermostat temperatures incorrectly or there’s a calibration issue, your system will bear the strain of constant cycling between heating and cooling modes. This can lead to premature wear on the condenser, which is responsible for cooling the indoor air.
Moreover, dirty, leaky, or poorly insulated ducts can compromise system efficiency. Air leaks and inadequate insulation result in conditioned air and heat loss, forcing your system to work harder to compensate. On the other hand, dirty filters restrict air flow, which could cause the evaporator coils to overheat.
Overheated coils are prone to damage, which could further lead to refrigerant leaks. Without sufficient refrigerant fluid, your system won’t be able to cool the air effectively.
Watch for these classic signs to tell if AC repair is necessary.
- Trouble turning on
- Spike in your utility bills
- Strange smells and noises
- Inadequate cooling
Your AC failing to turn on may point to electrical issues or a faulty thermostat. Circuit breakers tend to trip after power surges caused by big storms or when the electricity demand is higher than the AC outlet’s electrical capacity.
Your system also won’t turn on when there is a problem with its control center: the thermostat. Our technicians can help reset and recalibrate your thermostat or even offer better and more efficient upgrades.
A spike in your utility bills indicates that your air conditioner is working harder than it should, often evident when good parts have to compensate for faulty components. Unusually loud noises, such as rattling, mean a part is loose, whereas squealing and grinding noises signal a problem with the fan belts and motor bearings. Weird smells could point to gas leaks, mold growth, or burning electrical wires.
Finally, almost all AC problems lead to insufficient cooling and poor indoor air quality. Call us to assess your system thoroughly and find the root cause. The common culprits include a faulty compressor, a blocked condenser unit, blocked airflow, a refrigerant leak, and dirty cooling coils.
