Your HVAC system provides quality comfort and clean indoor air in your residential or commercial property. It should also be routinely maintained by a heating and air conditioning repair expert to keep it running in peak condition. But what happens when your system suddenly malfunctions?
All HVAC emergencies must be taken seriously to prevent further damage to your system. In this blog post, Allison Air Conditioning discusses some of the most common HVAC emergencies and how to deal with them:
Electrical Issues
If your HVAC system suddenly stops working, it could be due to an interruption in the power supply. The first thing you should do is to check the breaker if it blew a fuse. In this case, it’s relatively easy to replace it with a new fuse to get your system running again. However, if it stops working again due to the same reason, you might need to have your electrical system checked by a professional. This may also be necessary if you detect a burning smell near the system while it’s running. Choosing to ignore this will only lead to more HVAC breakdowns and costly repairs.
Refrigerant Leaks
The refrigerant is a crucial part of your HVAC system. It is a substance that moves between the compressor in the outside unit and the evaporator coils in the indoor unit during the cooling process. Leaks can occur if the refrigerant lines running between the compressor and evaporator coils become cracked and damaged. Failure to address this issue right away can lead to indoor air quality and comfort problems over time.
Clogged Drain Lines
Drain lines within your air conditioning system drain off water from the evaporator coil. The water is a result of condensation that occurs naturally during the air conditioning process. The lines, however, can get clogged or blocked, causing water to back up your system. If left unaddressed, this can lead to serious water damage affecting your unit’s performance.
