What Causes Your Air Conditioner System to Stop Working?

There could be many factors causing your air conditioner to malfunction. The prime way to know for sure is to call an AC repair expert. Based on our experience, five main issues can lead your air conditioner to stop blowing cold air.

1. Frozen Evaporator Coils

Frozen evaporator coils can be a problem for many AC units. If the coils don’t receive enough airflow, condensation can freeze and cause ice to form on the coils. It creates a feedback loop that makes the situation worse over time. To prevent this, it’s important to:

• Keep refrigerant levels high.
• Change air filters regularly.
• Keep supply vents open.
• Increase fan speed if necessary.
• Check for thermostat failure. 
• Inspect the condensate drain.

Additionally, make sure that window units are installed properly and angled correctly. If you have these preventive measures, you can reduce your risk of frozen evaporator coils and enjoy a cool home all summer.

2. Fan Issues

Fan issues can be a real problem for your air conditioner. If the fan isn’t working properly, it won’t be able to circulate air around your home and keep it cool. 

Damaged belts or motors can make the fan non-operational, leading to unbearable temperatures during the summer months. To avoid this, you must call in a professional who can perform air conditioner repairs or maintenance on your unit. 

3. Dirty Condenser Coils

Dirty condenser coils can be a major problem for your air conditioning system. The heat transfer process is hindered as dirt and dust build-up, leading to frozen evaporator coils. This reduced heat transfer results in less effective cooling and can only be solved with a complete repair. 

Therefore, if you’ve noticed that your AC isn’t working as efficiently as it should be, contact the experts at Hutchinson right away to inspect the condenser coils and take the necessary steps to restore the system’s efficiency.

4. Thermostat Problems

Thermostat problems can be a real headache for your HVAC system. A stuck thermostat might cause it to continuously send coolant through the radiator, resulting in an overworked unit. Additionally, it might cause short-cycling, display inaccurate readings and ultimately stop working.

To prevent these issues, investing in an advanced smart thermostat could be the best option. Luckily, our specialists are here to help with the installation process.

5. Clogged Air Filter

A clogged air filter can cause significant issues for your AC unit. If you avoid regular maintenance, like replacing the filter on schedule, the airflow through the unit will decrease and make it harder to cool your house. 

As a result, the evaporator coil could freeze and fail if pushed too hard. We recommend changing the filters once a month, especially if you use your AC often or have furry pets around. You can also install an advanced thermostat to get notified automatically when there is a need to replace a clogged filter.

How Much Does an Air Conditioner Repair or Installment Cost?

The price of repairing an air conditioner depends on several things, such as:

• The type of repair
• Unit type
• Age and condition of the unit
• Brand of the unit
• Whether there is a warranty
• The difficulty of the repair
• Parts needed 
• Labor involved

Getting an inspection and diagnosis from a professional AC technician is important to know what to expect regarding pricing for your repair job. Fortunately, we have a Preferred Protection Plan that lets you spread the payments out over twelve months so that they can still receive the necessary HVAC assistance despite financial constraints.
