During the summer months, many of us rely on our AC system to give us reprieve from the extreme temperatures outside. It can feel like the end of the world when something goes wrong with our system, and we are facing high temps and no AC to cool us off. Unfortunately, there are several things that can go wrong with your AC system in the summer. GA HVAC Experts is here to share some of the most common summer AC repairs that we see during the summer months.
Central Air Conditioner Fan Belt Problems
Of all the problems that you could face in the summer, a worn out fan belt is probably the easiest one to fix. If you all of a sudden can hear loud squealing or it sounds like something is loose inside your unit, you need to have a professional look at it. A worn out belt is something that is accessible and a quick fix. If you ignore the problem, it will compound and cause other issues though. When this is compared to other AC repairs, it pales in comparison.
Air Conditioner Refrigerant Leaks
The refrigerant in your AC system shouldn’t ever have to be replaced. When people experience warm air coming out of their vents, the first thought that many have is to have their refrigerant charged. The refrigerant in your system is in a closed system, so it shouldn’t need to be recharged unless there is a leak somewhere. When refrigerant is leaking, it is something that should be addressed right away. Common signs that you have a leak is warm air coming from the vents and frozen coils on your unit.
Clogged Condensate Drain Line
Have you noticed that your AC system seems to be leaking water? This is not normal and usually means that you have a dirty condensate line. Even though our condensate line is usually checked during the routine maintenance that is completed at the beginning of the season, depending on how much you use your AC, they can still get dirty in the midsummer season.
Complete AC Replacement
There are times that homeowners unfortunately have issues with their AC systems that require them to get a complete replacement. If the repairs needed on your AC system cost more than half of what a new system would cost you, you are better off replacing the system rather than paying for the costly repairs. You should also take into consideration how old the unit is. Most people can plan to get 15-20 years out of their AC unit before needing replacement.
