Absorbing the heat in your home and releasing that heat into the outdoors is part of the HVAC system’s function. The condenser unit is usually found outdoors, and the condenser is responsible for releasing the heat. To cool your home, this is the basic function of how the air conditioner operates. Within your home liquid refrigerant absorbs the heat through the evaporator. In order to feel the coolness, after the heat is quickly released outside, the refrigerant turns into a gas once the heat is absorbed. To further discuss the air conditioner condenser, we at GA HVAC Experts would like to continue on the subject. A few of the common concerns that stem from the AC condenser are listed below.
Blocked or Clogged AC Condenser
Your AC unit can get blocked by debris and other unwanted particles, that over time, will cause condenser failure. Though some of these particles could be external, it is oftentimes due to metal particles that punctured the condenser itself. With proper maintenance, homeowners can potentially prevent this problem.
Dirty Condenser
Being that the most residential air conditioner components are mounted outdoors, it is not surprising for the condenser or other parts to get dirty. In addition to the dirt and debris the outdoor components attract, the brush, grass, and other vegetation matter growing around the system can impeded efficient performance from the condenser. Keep the unit clean and maintain at least 3-feet around the unit.
Air Conditioner Leaking Water Outside
Condenser failure can be caused by leaks from failed seals and faulty tubes. Particularly after extensive usage, the tubes may suffer from wear and break or can get pinched. You need to call a licensed technician to resolve leak issues.
Faulty or Bad AC Run Capacitor
The condenser’s run capacitors provide energy for the fan motors to operate. Due to a malfunctioning run capacitor, the motor frequently will not start up. Should you think that your run capacitors have gone bad, contact GA HVAC Experts for proper diagnosis and repair.
Damage to AC Condenser Coil
One of the worst AC condenser problems is damaged coils, which often comes from impact, corrosion, and debris. To get the problem resolved, a professional can identify the issue.
Maintenance Prevention. The AC condenser parts, such as the motor, fans, tubes, coils, and other parts that can malfunction. Among the easiest ways to keep your condenser running smoothly is having the unit routinely cleaned. Since the part of the unit is outside, debris can easily buildup. Use a water hose to spray down your condenser unit and make sure to keep the unit clear of clutter. Also, to keep the air conditioner running smoothly and efficiently, make sure to schedule professional tune-ups at least once a year.
