Most Common Henderson HVAC Problems I

Silverstate Refrigeration & HVAC

HVAC systems have come as a blessing to Henderson household, as they eliminate the discomfort, purify and condition the air we breathe in according to our needs. However, you need to maintain your HVAC system regularly to get this comfort zone throughout the year. Silverstate HVAC, the BBB A+ air conditioning repair Henderson contractor, has identified some of the most common problems we face regularly with our cooling or heating equipment.

Proper Sizing and issues with Installation

Most of the times, the size of your air conditioner, heat pump or furnace is not proper. It is either too small or too big for that specific enclosed space. Moreover, if there is improper installation of your HVAC unit, it will end up in duct leaks and poor air flow.

Production of Wailing Noise

Sometimes you can hear deafening or loud noises from your HVAC unit. Most of the times, the origination lies at the fan belt. Dislodging or loosening can be the main cause. Tightening and restoring and the fan belt to its rightful place can solve the problem. While positioning the belt, the bearings in the motor should also be checked. At times lubrication or replacement is needed.

Bad Odor

Due to the constant cooling and warming in HVAC functioning, there is a quick buildup of moisture. If this water becomes stagnant it leads to the growth of fungi, molds, mildew etc. ultimately resulting in bad odor. Another contributing factor is irregular changing of filters.

Thermostat Sensor Problems

A thermostat sensor has a critical function of measuring the temperature of air entering the evaporative coil. In case this sensor malfunctioning, then air conditioner too can function erratically or cycle constantly. The displaced sensor must be positioned carefully, all the way ensuring that the coil doesn’t touch it.

Electric Control Failure

All the electrical connections and contacts should be checked at the time of professional servicing. Often over-sized systems go on and off, resulting in the wearing out of fan controls and compressors. Moreover, if the outer fan stops running, the compressor overheats and gets damaged.
