So your air conditioning unit isn’t working. Here are some of the most common issues we’ve encountered across homes and businesses throughout the Geraldton region:
- Electrical issues: Any wiring that may be faulty or loose as well as other failing electrical components might be causing your air conditioning unit not to work. Some things to look out for are frequent tripping of circuit breakers or occasional power loss.
- Frozen parts: Most often, this is due to frozen evaporator coils – common in split systems during Geraldton’s hotter months.
- Clogged or dirty filters: Filters are very important for air flow. Dirty filters will restrict it. As a result, your air conditioning unit will have to work even harder to cool a space or it fails to keep the space cool entirely.
- Faulty thermostat: A malfunctioning thermostat can cause your air conditioning unit to turn on and off unexpectedly or cause it not to stay cold for very long.
- Fan problems: Air conditioning units rely on two fan, if either fan malfunctions, it can disrupt airflow and reduce cooling efficiency.
- Clogged drain line: If the drain line is restricted, water can accumulate and overflow. This is not only risky for damage, there is also the potential for mould to grow.
- Dirty condenser coils: Dirt and debris could build up inside your air conditioning unit. This means poorer cooling capabilities and increased energy consumption.
- Compressor failure: If your compressor fails your unit will stop cooling. This could be because of an electrical or mechanical failure. It is best to get in touch with a professional if you think this is the case.
