Common AC Problems

Published on June 22, 2015

When your home’s air conditioner breaks down you want to get the problem taken care of as quickly as possible. Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning can help you do just that so your family can get back to enjoying the feeling of a well-tuned air conditioner. Searching for what might be out of whack with your air conditioner and if you might need to schedule an AC repair? Here’s a short checklist of common AC problems.

  • Filter first

  • First things first: check your home’s air filters. Old or inefficient air filters are notorious for turning a perfectly functional and efficient air conditioner into a slow and inefficient one. How do you know if you ought to change your filters? If you can’t remember the last time you changed them, it’s almost certainly time to change them. If you’re still not sure, remove the air filter and check for visible dirt. If there is visible dust or dirt, throw it out and put a new one in right away.
  • Check the air conditioner

  • If your air filter is fine, go outside and have a look at the air conditioner itself. Sometimes sticks, leaves, and other debris can become stuck in or build up around the system. Check for these and other immediate signs that something may be wrong. Listen for loud or irregular sounds coming from the system as it runs. Though you should never attempt an AC repair on your own, you can trust your instincts to recognize when something looks or sounds wrong.
  • Determine the length of the AC cycle

  • An improper cooling cycle may be part of the problem. Listen to how long the air is running before it turns off. An air conditioner in good working order typically runs for longer periods of time and stays off for a similar period of time, rather than flipping on and off in short bursts. An abnormal AC cycle may be an sign of bigger problems that will need professional AC repair sooner rather than later.
  • Check your fuse box

  • If the system shuts down, there may be a breaker flipped or a fuse blown. A tripped breaker may occur in a storm, but if Roanoke hasn't seen any severe weather, there may be a more serious problem that’s causing the breaker to trip. If the breaker in question gets tripped again soon after you flip it back on, call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning at 540-302-8645.
