HVAC Escondido

July 1, 2016

Problems with your HVAC Escondido?

Summer is here Escondido! We want your family to have an amazing summer vacation! No one wants to deal with AC malfunctions while the kids are home from school. AC units are normally very reliable. They can last up to 25 years depending on the model and how well it is maintained. However, we may need to do some troubleshooting if the AC does go down. Below is a list of some of the most common HVAC Escondido problems courtesy of armstrongservices.com.

  1. You may have blown fuses. The fuses protect the motor from overheating and are found in the evaporator coil.
  2. One of the contactors may be worn. There is one contactor for the compressor, one for the condenser fan motor, and one for the blower motor. These contactors tell the unit when to turn on or off. These contactors may become warped. This inhibits them from communicating with the unit.
  3. The capacitor might have burned out. The ‘run capacitor’ is used to help the motors of the unit run at a consistent speed. The ‘start capacitor’ gives the motor a jump start. If either is burnt out, the unit will not run properly.
  4. Change the air filters. Air filters unavoidably get dirty. One way to tell if the filter needs to be changed is to hold it up to the light and see if you can see light pass through it.
  5. Make sure the thermostat is turned on. Often times the thermostat is accidentally turned off. Or it may be turned to the wrong setting. Thermostat tells the unit at what temperature it needs to turn on.
