cool, <\/em>so that\u2019s the issue we\u2019ll be focusing on here. What could cause this troubling AC symptom?<\/p>\nA Refrigerant Leak<\/h2>\n
It\u2019s easy to underestimate just how essential refrigerant is to the operation of your air conditioning system. Your cooling system evaporates this chemical blend in order to absorb thermal energy from the air in the ducts. The refrigerant gas then travels down the line to the condenser coil outside, where it is condensed back into liquid, to vent the collected thermal energy outside of the home.<\/p>\n
Refrigerant is something that doesn\u2019t normally run out, so if you are losing any, that means your system has a leak. As the refrigerant level continues to drop, so will your system\u2019s cooling output. Eventually, your air conditioner will shut down if the source of the leak isn\u2019t found and repaired.<\/p>\n
Short-Cycling<\/h2>\n
This is the name of the process that occurs when your air conditioner shuts itself off and turns back on every few minutes. The most common cause of this problem is poor installation to begin with\u2014the unit wasn\u2019t properly sized for your home and is subsequently too large. There are other reasons short-cycling may occur, however. For instance, you might have an electrical short between the thermostat and the cooling system, causing the system to get the wrong signals.<\/p>\n
Another reason short-cycling might happen is due to an issue with the compressor, a major component partly responsible for the operating rhythm of your air conditioner. If short-cycling occurs for a prolonged period of time, then your cooling system will wear down much faster than it otherwise would have, making problems happen more often.<\/p>\n
Air Handler Issues<\/h2>\n
If your air conditioner simply isn\u2019t circulating enough air, then the problem is likely with your air handler. This is the component of your air conditioner responsible for circulating air throughout your home during operation. It\u2019s comprised of a large motor, with a fan attached. Moving that much air creates strain on the air handler, which can cause issues.<\/p>\n
The air handler houses bearings, which help it run smoothly. Even these bearings need to be replaced on occasion. If you notice a loud grinding sound along with the lowered cooling output of your air conditioner system, then you likely need to have your air handler checked. If this AC component is malfunctioning, then it simply won\u2019t be able to circulate air throughout the home properly, resulting in lower output.<\/p>\n

With temperatures around our area not cooling down anytime soon, there\u2019s no denying that your cooling system still has a lot of work cut out for it. Surely, you\u2019re grateful for the cooling output it has given you so far. But what if it isn\u2019t working as efficiently or effectively as you think it should be, or even as it was at the start of the season?<\/p>\n
