Your Condenser Unit is Blocked or Clogged

The condenser unit on your AC unit is the main functional part of your unit and consists of a compressor and a heat-transfer system. This system typically uses air or water to cool your home and carry out the cooling processes that your AC unit is used for! However, when the condenser unit is clogged, this means that the compressor and heat-transfer system cannot access the resources it needs to carry out the refrigeration cycle. This problem is often difficult to diagnose and will often require a professional AC repair technician to effectively diagnose and repair. If you are having problems with your air conditioning condenser unit, Home Service Plus can repair your AC unit so that your home stays comfortable.

Your AC Unit is Too Small

Another problem that we see when it comes to AC units working but not effectively cooling your home is the size of the AC unit. AC units can be expensive to buy, install, replace, or repair, so many homeowners will attempt to save money by purchasing a smaller unit only to find out that they need a little bit more size to effectively cool their home. AC unit sizes are measured in BTU. You should be able to find this measurement on your unit to determine whether or not your unit is large enough to cool your home or apartment. If you are unsure whether or not your unit is large enough, reach out to us today with any questions you may have about your HVAC unit today!

Broken Evaporator Coil

The evaporator coil in your AC unit is the piece of equipment that is responsible for absorbing the heat from your home. Warm air will pass through this tube and the heat and humidity will both be removed from the air. Cool air is then pumped into your home. However, every now and then, the evaporator coils can freeze causing your AC unit to run but not cool your home. Some signs that your evaporator coil is frozen are frost on the coil, inadequate cooling, high utility bills, and excessive condensate drainage. If you think that your evaporator coil is frozen, the fix may involve a simple repair or a full replacement. Whatever the case may be, the incredible AC repairmen at Home Service Plus are ready to help you with all of your AC unit repair needs!

Leaking Refrigerant

The refrigerant in your AC unit is a chemical that gets compressed, condensed, and then evaporated to cool off your home. The refrigerant is vital to the cooling process and typically flows through indoor and outdoor tubes in your unit. Leaks anywhere in your AC unit will cause your unit to not function properly and can even result in increased energy usage and higher energy bills. If your refrigerant is leaking, you may also notice hissing sounds coming from your unit and frozen coils that signify the escape of cold refrigerant. If you are having a hard time with your AC unit and think your refrigerant might be leaking, it’s time to call in the professionals.
