  1. 8 Common Problems With Older Air Conditioning Systems

  2. #1 Faulty Wiring Haphazard, uncertified or short air conditioning wiring can be very risky and pose a potential fire hazard. A bad wiring can also prevent your AC system from getting the power it needs or trip your circuit breaker.

  3. #2 Malfunctioning Outside Fan ● The outside fan is the one that conveys the heat from your house to the outside air. ● Correct heat transfer will not take place and the compressor of your AC system may overheat and trip your safety overload. ● It can also cause internal damage to your unit’s compressor.

  4. #3 Low Refrigerant ● The refrigerant refers to the chemical which cools the air inside your AC system. ● Low levels of refrigerant may mean that there is a problem or leak with the unit’s refrigerant system. ● When your air conditioning unit has to be recharged with refrigerant, most of the time, this means that there is some leak somewhere.

  5. Every refrigerant leak must be located and repaired right away. Air conditioning service providers can do easily perform this job.

  6. #4 Frozen Coil Frozen coils often imply a problem with airflow like restrictions due to obstructed return of air ductwork or filthy air filters. Frozen indoor coils may also be due to low refrigerant. This can be avoided through regular duct cleaning.

  7. #5 Not Functional Outside Unit It often indicates conductor issues, lack of power or faulty thermostat. #6 Inefficiencies Damage to the fan, compressor and coil all means that your air conditioner unit must work extra harder in order to keep your house at a more comfortable temperature. It results to higher energy usage and increased utility bill.

  8. #7 Frequent Repair ● If you try to save your older AC system for a longer time, higher are the chance for it to break down in times when you need it the most. ● If you only get repair after repair and all the costs just add up. ● It would be more cost effective if you just replace your unit entirely.

  9. #8 Slow Performance Older air conditioners are also likely to take longer time to make your house cooler. It is usually not worth the cost of energy and maintenance. While AC maintenance is great, there are times when it is best to replace your old air conditioning system to avoid these unwanted repairs.
