The Main Problems of Air Conditioners and Tips for Good air Conditioning Maintenance

 

The arrival of heat is imminent and this is the ideal time to review our air conditioning systems so that they are ready when summer arrives and the heat tightens. Normally we only remember the air conditioning in summer, and the rest of the year we have it as a great forgotten, and when the time comes to turn it on, we can find some failures that make our device not work well.

These are the main problems that air conditioning systems present :

Strange smell when turning it on

It arises because by spending almost a year without turning it on, water can remain stored in the battery, which causes bad odors. It may also be due to the fact that our appliance does not have a siphon installed, which means that the water does not drain well.

How can I solve this problem?

We will have to call a specialist to do a thorough cleaning of the aluminum coil of the outdoor unit.

2. Leaks

When there is a leak, it is not enough just to add refrigerant, but a specialist must be called to find the reason for the leak and repair it. Once repaired, the technician must add the amount of refrigerant recommended by the manufacturer for the device to cool properly.

3. Does your air conditioning not cool well?

It may be due to a fault in the device, which can be caused by these causes:

Leak in the refrigeration circuit due to a bad installation of the appliance or a problem in the pipes.

The outdoor unit fan motor may not rotate or may not work properly.

4. Poor maintenance

When the filters and coils of the air conditioner are not cleaned, the air conditioner will not work properly, causing the compressor or fans to break down prematurely.

5. Electrical control failures

If your air conditioner shuts down frequently, you should call a technician to check the compressor and fan. Frequent shutdown is usually caused by an oversized system. Another of the main problems in this sense of air conditioners is corrosion of the wire and the terminals.

If you want your air conditioner to be in perfect working order when summer arrives, it is best to have an air conditioning maintenance contract . This way you guarantee that a technician checks the equipment, cleans the filters and you will be covered before any breakdown of your air conditioning installation .

Eight tips for good air conditioning maintenance

Many times we talk about the installation of air conditioning systems, comparisons between one device and another... But the need to perform good air conditioning maintenance is rarely discussed . It is important to check the condition of the air conditioning unit before the heat approaches, in order to avoid last minute scares and have the house conditioned for the arrival of summer.

As professionals in the sector, at Linacal we are aware that more and more energy is being spent, which is why we recommend proper control of the air conditioning, in order to, among other things, avoid exorbitant bills at the end of the month.

For this reason, we have compiled these 8 tips for you to have good air conditioning maintenance:

The first step is to test its efficiency. To do this, you have to turn it on for 15 minutes (as long as the outside temperature exceeds 26.5 degrees) and pay attention to the time it takes to work, the sound it makes and, above all, everything, if it reaches the programmed temperature.

Have you performed the previous operation and noticed any anomaly ? Contact a technician to check airflow over cooling ducts, coolant levels, and clean filters and coils. The malfunction of these components will lower the performance of our air conditioning and the energy cost of our bill will rise.

For the correct maintenance of the device, it must also be verified that the fan bleeds more than 60 centimeters.

Also check that the insulation of the air conditioning pipes is good.

Try not to block the air conditioning vents .

Check that the room where you have your air conditioning unit located has good ventilation , since if it has air leaks or is poorly ventilated, the costs of air conditioning will increase.

Place the appliance on a cover to protect it from heat and sun to facilitate air cooling and thus improve energy efficiency.
