Here are some of the common problems that can happen with an air conditioning system and tips for preventing these issues.

Common Types of Air Conditioner Problems

• Freezing up is an issue that often happens in the summer when your air conditioner is running constantly and working harder to keep your home cool. This issue can be caused by several reasons including a dirty or clogged air filter. Mechanical issues can also play a part in a malfunctioning air conditioner. Broken fans, and kinked refrigerant lines can cause your air conditioner to freeze up. No matter what your issue, a spring AC tune up will help prevent it from freezing up.

• Dirty condenser coils can also cause problems. Just like the effect clogged arteries have on a heart, dirty condenser coils make the unit work harder until the parts begin to wear out. Regular maintenance can include cleaning condenser coils to prevent this issue.

• Clogged water lines are another common issue for an air conditioning system. Air conditioners have water lines that help pull moisture out of the air. When those lines get clogged, water can back up and damage your HVAC unit.

• Damaged ductwork can cause your cooled air to leak, reducing the efficiency of your system. If you can’t feel air pushing out of the vents, air leaking might be the issue.

Spring Air Conditioner Maintenance to Prevent Problems

You can do several things to prevent problems with your air conditioner this summer. It mostly comes down to proper air conditioner maintenance.

First, be sure to change your air filters regularly. This will help prevent your air conditioner from freezing up. Air filters are generally affordable and should be part of your basic home maintenance schedule.
