The need for a comprehensive diagnostic of the air conditioner most often occurs when the unit does not turn on or in the work of climatic equipment observed any incorrectness. Let’s understand all the peculiarities and nuances of air conditioner service.
How Often is it Necessary to Carry Out Service Maintenance?
Experts recommend servicing the air conditioning system at least 2 times a year. The frequency of service depends on the capacity, type of system, and other factors. If we are talking about complex equipment, such as central air conditioning systems, they need more frequent maintenance because they consist of a huge number of elements, and any breakdown can be very expensive.
Some of the most common breakdowns, according to Houston Air Conditioning, include the following:
- The split system reduces heat or cold production. That is, air conditioning fails to perform its primary function as a result of the overconsumption of electrical energy. There are several reasons: from the leakage of refrigerant (Freon) and breakdown of key parts of the heat pump up to the clogging of filters. Only a proven air conditioner diagnostic technician can understand the exact cause and figure it out.
- Condensate or water leaks on the indoor unit. The cause indicates that a clogged drain line has occurred. Because of this, the liquid that is in the indoor unit begins to leak outside. To fix such a breakdown, it is necessary to carry out a thorough cleaning of the drainage duct. If the problem arose during the heating season, it is most likely caused by a clog of ice in the pipe. In such a situation, an experienced technician will decide to clean the evaporator and/or perform an additional refrigerant charge.
- The conditioner does not react to the commands sent to it by the remote control. The first thing the expert will do is to check the voltage in the socket, as well as the batteries in the remote control. If the socket is working, the master will proceed to diagnose the control board.
- There is an unpleasant smell coming from the air conditioner. In the process of operation, the air conditioner passes through a significant amount of air and is not always perfectly clean. Therefore, sometimes you have to deal with the fact that it exudes an unpleasant smell. One of the main factors which can cause such odor is dust accumulation, formation of mold spots, etc.
Peculiarities of Service Maintenance
Servicing of air conditioners should be performed according to all the rules and by the manufacturer’s recommendations. Trying to do the service by your own hands in the best case will not give the desired result, in the worst case, it will only make things worse and, in the future, will lead to the need for more expensive repairs.
