As summer reaches its peak, air conditioning units are in constant use, significantly increasing the risk of malfunctions. Being aware of common A/C problems can help you address minor issues before they escalate into costly repairs.
The Run Capacitor
The run capacitor is essential for starting and maintaining the operation of the A/C motor. When this component is worn out or damaged, your A/C unit may struggle to start or may not run continuously. Summer’s high temperatures can accelerate the failure of the run capacitor. Regular inspections by a professional can detect a weakening capacitor before it fails completely.
A Dirty Filter
Air filters in A/C units can quickly become clogged with dirt and debris, especially during the summer when the system is used more frequently and outdoor activities increase. A dirty filter restricts airflow, forcing the A/C unit to work harder and consume more electricity to maintain the desired temperature. Regularly cleaning or replacing the air filter can prevent this issue and ensure your unit operates efficiently.
