Look no further than My Father’s Mechanical if you are having problems with your home’s air conditioner. We are going to list the common AC problems below that we repair all the time. We are the best HVAC service in San Antonio, and we always put our customers first.
AC Doesn’t Turn On
This can be a problem with your air conditioner or thermostat. We will test the thermostat to see if it is communicating with the AC. If it isn’t, we will replace it. We will also inspect the AC to see if there is an internal reason why it refuses to turn on.
AC Blowing Hot Air
What’s the point of running the AC if it’s only blowing hot air? There are several reasons why an AC will blow warm air and they include a clogged air filter, low refrigerant levels, or compressor malfunction. We can get to the bottom of the hot-air problem.
Frozen Air Conditioning Unit
The AC can freeze on the outside of the HVAC or AC unit if there is insufficient airflow from the unit into the duct system. Reduced coolant levels can also make the AC freeze, as can problems with the blower motor. You do not want your AC unit freezing.
Leaking Refrigerant
Another common problem we fix all the time is leaking refrigerant from your air conditioning unit. Naturally, if the refrigerant is leaking out of the unit, the air is not going to be as cold as it normally is. You may be able to see the leak around the unit.
Strange AC Noises
Call us right away if your air conditioner is making strange noises. Well, actually, turn off the AC first and then call us. Things that can cause strange noises include relay problems that make clicking sounds and a screeching compressor motor.
Leaking Water
The air conditioner produces condensation, especially on a hot and humid day. This condensation is routed away from the unit via the drainpipe. If the drainpipe gets clogged, you may notice water puddling around your AC unit.
Dead Thermostat Sensor
Finally, if the thermostat sensor inside the AC unit goes bad, your AC may start to cycle on and off. A faulty thermostat sensor can also cause the AC to refuse to turn on. This sensor needs to communicate with the thermostat for efficient operation.
