Nothing is more inconvenient during the hot summer months than a malfunctioning AC. The unbearable heat and humidity can quickly turn a comfortable home into an unsafe oven.
This is why it’s important to have Midway Heating Company on standby for AC repair in Oregon City, OR. No matter what the problem is, you can count on our highly skilled and experienced technicians for professional AC service any time of the day.
The more common AC issues include:
- Bad capacitor
- Low refrigerant
- Clogged condensate drain line
- Poor airflow
ACs produce a low buzzing or humming noise when running. These sounds mean that the motors facilitating the cooling process are working as they should. However, if your system is humming but no air is coming out of your vents or indoor air handler, there’s a good chance the AC capacitor is bad.
Capacitors store and release electrical energy that starts and runs the compressor and fans in your AC. Over time, they can weaken or fail. When this happens, your system will turn on but lack the necessary power to run the fans that blow cool air into your rooms. To restore your AC back to normal, hire a qualified technician to replace the capacitors.
Low refrigerant levels can occur due to corrosion of the copper coils, improper installation, physical damage to the refrigerant lines, vibrations within the unit, and a weakened connection at the joints.
Since the role of the refrigerant is to absorb heat from the indoor air and expel it outside, your system will have a difficult time cooling your home. Your system will run longer, consuming excessive energy, and you’ll also experience poor airflow.
You should note that the federal government phased out refrigerants used before, such as the R-22 and R-410A. They are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive; therefore, you should start planning for AC replacement in the near future if your unit uses these.
A clogged condensate line is the reason water leaks from the indoor unit. ACs naturally produce water through a process called condensation, where surrounding air containing moisture passes over the cold evaporator coils.
This moisture condenses into water droplets, which the condensate line drains away. However, when dirt, mold, algae, and debris accumulate within the drain pipe, water will back up and flow out through the indoor unit.
