Common AC Repairs

Friday, October 17th, 2014

We are at the tail-end of another cooling season, and it’s not unusual for you to see some problems arise with your air conditioner. After several months of operating around-the-clock, your system is bound to have some wear and tear, and you may need to schedule residential AC repair service. There are some repairs our Roznovak technicians see at this time of year more than others, but for any repair you may need, call the experts at Roznovak.

Here is a List of Common Air Conditioning System Repairs

Compressor Problems

The compressor in your air conditioning system operates under a lot of pressure in order to do its job. Operating full time, it isn’t unusual for certain problems to develop. Common issues are electrical problems, particularly with wiring and capacitors, and problems with the motor; oil leaks can also develop. Your compressor is a complex component, and any repairs involving it should be handled only by a trained professional.

Refrigerant Leaks

Your air conditioner needs to run with an exact amount of refrigerant, as specified by the manufacturer. When leaks develop, they lower the level of refrigerant in the system, and as such, create an imbalance in the heat release/cooling process. Refrigerant leaks can develop in a number of places, and are challenging to detect unless you have training. If you suspect you have a refrigerant leak, call for professional assistance.

Fan Issues

The fans in your system help with air flow. Typical fan problems are problems with the motor, electrical issues such as frayed wiring and problems with loose or bent fan blades. Because of the variety of issues that can develop with the fans, it’s important to hire a trained technician to inspect and determine the exact problem rather than handling things yourself.

Your air conditioner works hard during the summer months, and while it may be tempting to just turn it off at the end of this cooling season, it’s always better to attend to any existing problems as soon as possible. Call Roznovak today and schedule your residential AC repairs in Round Rock, TX.

Common Air Conditioning Repairs at the End of Summer

Friday, August 22nd, 2014

At the end of summer, you may be surprised if your air conditioner suddenly needs repair. However, your air conditioner runs for long periods of time all summer long, so a lot of air conditioners may run into trouble towards the end. Though you may be unsure whether your air conditioning repair need can wait until the next cooling season, it’s important to get problems fixed as soon as possible. Your air conditioner works hard to compensate when one component of your system is not working properly, and if you wait too long, other components may begin to fail, leading to the need for new air conditioning installation. If you encounter any repair needs, such as the common ones included in this guide, be sure to call for AC repair as soon as possible.

  • Frozen Evaporator Coil: Even in the heat of summer, your air conditioner can freeze up. The inside portion of your AC contains the evaporator coil, which allows refrigerant to evaporate and absorb heat from the air in your home. But if a problem causes reduced airflow to this coil, it may become too cold, causing an icy buildup to form on the outside of the coil.
  • Low Refrigerant: Another problem air conditioners may run into is low refrigerant. Refrigerant cycles through your home to absorb and release heat, but it should never dissipate. Refrigerant may be low if your technician measured it out incorrectly during installation. However, at the end of summer, low refrigerant may indicate a serious leak.
  • Damaged Compressor: The compressor is one of the most important components of your air conditioner. Refrigerant leaves the compressor as a high-pressure gas so that it can move through the rest of the system. Compressor damage may lead to the need for major repairs or even new air conditioning installation. Anytime you notice signs of problems, you should call for repairs right away. These signs include limited cooling and loud noises from the outdoor unit of your AC.

If you run into any of these repair needs, or if you decide you need a new air conditioning installation in Round Rock, TX, don’t wait until the end of summer to call the technicians at Roznovak.
