The 6 Most Common Air Conditioning Problems
Unit runs, but it doesn’t cool or it blows warm air
If your air conditioner is blowing warm air, you may fear the worst. Fortunately, there are a few simple explanations for an AC unit that runs, but doesn’t cool. This guide explains how homeowners can quickly check for the most common causes, and when you should call a professional.
Noisy operation
Not only are thumps, squeaks and rattles annoying, but they also may be a sign of a more serious problem with your cooling system. Download this guide to see the explanations and solutions for these troublesome noises.
Frozen coil
When inspecting your air conditioner, you may notice frost on the coils inside of the unit. While this looks ominous, a frozen coil is one of the more common reasons for air conditioning malfunctions and is generally easy to resolve. In this guide, we explain some of the most common causes. If you notice a frozen coil on your unit, turn the thermostat from “cool” to “off” to start thawing the coil, and then call Mauzy.
Water leaking from unit
A leaky air conditioner can cause major damage to both the unit itself and your home. Fortunately, most leaks can be prevented with proper maintenance. If you notice water leaking from your air conditioner, turn off the AC unit immediately and call Mauzy. This guide explains the most common reasons for a leaky AC unit and how they are resolved.
Unit won’t turn on
We recommend testing your system this winter, before you need it. If your unit won’t turn on at all, this is typically a sign of electrical problems, which can be hazardous. First, check that the unit is plugged in and look for tripped breakers. Then, call Mauzy and download this guide for more information on how electrical issues can impact your air conditioning unit.
Unit can’t keep your whole home cool
If your air conditioning unit isn’t keeping your home cool, a maintenance issue may be the culprit—or your unit may be too small for your home. In this guide, we explain the difference.
As you’ll see in our guide, the most common AC problems can have many explanations. In some cases, you can troubleshoot the problem yourself, but many problems require the expertise of a professional. Regular maintenance can prevent these problems, help to avoid costly repairs, and extend the life of your air conditioning unit.
