When it comes to air conditioning units, there are a lot of moving parts. This means there’s a lot that could go wrong. In this video, we will learn about the five most common AC problems. Some of these issues can be corrected by the homeowner; others require the skills of an AC technician.
If the capacitor is bad, the fan inside the house will be running but blowing hot air. When checking outside, the unit is running. When everything appears to be working except for the temperature of the air, the problem is often an issue with a capacitor.
A unit low on refrigerant may require professional AC repair services. If the unit appears to be running inside and outside but is not meeting the temperature set point, the unit may be low on refrigerant. This is an easy fix, but one that would need the skills and tools of a professional.
If you notice the fan on top of the unit is not moving it may just be stuck or, in other cases, you may need to replace the motor. If you turn the AC on and the fan doesn’t move, it may need a little help. Move the fan blade with a stick, it may start after this “push.” If this doesn’t work, you may need a technician to replace the condenser fan motor.
Household items may require professional assistance for certain fixes, others may be easy for the homeowner to do themselves. If you need help, search online or ask friends and family for suggestions. You may end up finding the perfect service for your needs!
