You can expect new air conditioners to give you trouble free service, but if you have an older unit, you are likely to have the need for air conditioner repairs more often. If you find that your air conditioner problems are increasing steadily, it may be time to buy yourself a new unit. AC repairs can be expensive, and the money that you spend on repairing an old model can easily be converted into buying a brand new, more energy efficient appliance. Most air conditioner problems are rooted in improper installation, or irregular or non existent maintenance. For instance, if the refrigerant is under charged or not charged according to the specifications laid out in the manufacturer's manual, then you may begin to notice leaks. If you find that your room temperature drops below the temperature that's set on your thermostat, it's usually the result of faulty calibration of the thermostat. The importance of getting your AC installed by a qualified professional cannot be underestimated.
A unit that frequently needs AC repairs is the result of poor air conditioner maintenance. You can increase the efficiency of your unit and increase its life span by regularly cleaning the filters and replacing them. Filters that are blocked with dust and debris block the air flow, and drag down the efficiency of your air conditioner. Dust laden air may carry these particles into the evaporated coil, and affect its capacity to absorb heat. It's recommended that you get your air conditioner filters replaced, or cleaned at least once or twice during peak season. Pay more attention to your filter if your HVAC system sees heavy use or a dusty environment. If you notice water accumulation near the air conditioner, it might be the result of a leaky tube if you can locate a leak in the tube, get the tube replaced. If not, it may be a more complicated problem with the pump. Frequent central air conditioner repair problems can also occur if you have the wrong size unit. For instance, in an oversized unit, the AC may switch on and off frequently, wearing out the fan motors and compressor.
