You can expect new air conditioners to give you trouble free service, but if you have an older unit, you are likely to have the need for air conditioner repairs more often. If you find that your air conditioner problems are increasing steadily, it may be time to buy yourself a new unit. AC repairs can be expensive, and the money that you spend on repairing an old model can easily be converted into buying a brand new, more energy efficient appliance. Most air conditioner problems are rooted in improper installation, or irregular or non existent maintenance. For instance, if the refrigerant is under charged or not charged according to the specifications laid out in the manufacturer's manual, then you may begin to notice leaks. If you find that your room temperature drops below the temperature that's set on your thermostat, it's usually the result of faulty calibration of the thermostat. The importance of getting your AC installed by a qualified professional cannot be underestimated.
Improper installation of your air conditioner is also a leading cause of air conditioner problems. For instance, if your AC technician did not charge the correct amount of refrigerant during installation, the unit can quickly develop leaks. Improper operating procedures can also lead to air conditioner repair problems. For instance, switching air conditioners on and off frequently can cause the compressor and fan controls to wear out. if your air conditioner does not switch on immediately, check to see if the thermostat has been set to "cool". It should also be set to below the room temperature. Check if the breaker has tripped or if a fuse has blown. If you notice grinding noises in your blower, call your AC repair technician. Usually, it's a problem with improper belt alignment. If you notice pools of water accumulating next to the unit, check to see if there is a leak in one of the tubes. If not, it could be a problem with the pump.
