Most Common Henderson HVAC Problems II

Silverstate Refrigeration & HVAC

As we have learnt about some of the most common problems that arise with HVAC systems in Henderson, we will continue to explore more in this article…

Refrigerant Leaks

There can be two reasons for low level of refrigerant. Either it was undercharged during installation, or the air conditioner leaks. In case of leakage, merely adding refrigerant will not suffice. Call Silverstate HVAC, the BBB A+ air conditioning repair Henderson contractor, who will fix the leak, test the repair and then recharge the system with the right amount of refrigerant.

Drainage problems and Frozen Coils

The condensate drain is to be checked for clogging. Dirt collection in the filters and coils results in poor functioning of the air conditioner. The fans and compressor may also break down.

Frozen coils and ice prevent the combination of Freon and air from circulating, thereby blocking the unit’s operation. Collaboration checks can eliminate this problem.

Clogged Grills

Wipe the fan, motor, fins and other parts carefully, all the while ensuring that the electrical parts do not get wet. Care must be taken while removing the top grill, since it may be wired to the fan. Blocked grills are one of the most common air conditioner problems and can be solved by carefully cleaning the air conditioner parts.

Problem with the Outside fan

The responsibility of transferring the heat from the house to the outside air lies with the outside fan. However, if the outside fan doesn’t function properly, heat transfer from the house to the outer air does not take place efficiently. This may cause the compressor to overheat and trip. Internal damage can also occur to the compressor.

The only way one can prevent all these common air conditioner problems is by investing in a preventive maintenance program. Periodic maintenance tune-ups help detect low refrigerant, bad wiring, airflow problems, etc. Our NATE certified HVAC technicians are qualified to make the necessary repairs.
