As anyone who lives in a hot or humid climate zone knows, one of the worse things to discover one a ninety-five degree day, is that the air conditioner is not working. You may be handy around the house and can fix most anything. However, there are some problems that need a properly licensed and insured expert. So, Call Las Vegas Air Conditioning Repair and Stay Cool.
You may be rigorous about performing preventative maintenance on your heat pump but there are still times when a professional needs to be called in. When any of these signs show up, please continue to be as diligent when hiring a company as you have been doing your maintenance. Be certain the professional has the proper licensing for the work to be performed. Just as important, but often overlooked, is they have insurance.
One thing to pay attention to is how often the unit is turning off and on. More than usual, or running constantly means there will be too much wear which can result in having to replace the compressor. It could be a result of the cold air leaking out of the house or the thermostat is not working properly.
If warm air instead of cool is blowing from the vents it could be one of two, or a combination of two easy fixes. Check the thermostat to make certain it is set on the cooling mode. Also, check the air filter and replace it if is clogged. Hopefully, these steps will take care of the issue but if not, call the professionals because it is probably a malfunctioning compressor.
Strange smells from the unit requires immediate attention also. A musty odor can mean there is biological growth inside the ducts or unit, which can lead to serious health issues. If the smell is electrical, it means the wiring or insulation is getting over heated.
If the air blowing inside is not cold or not as cool as you recall it being, you might need more Freon or a new compressor. Hopefully, it is the Freon, but either way, you need the experts to check and repair the unit.
Poor air flow happens when debris is stuck in the vents, which also presents a health risk. The flow can also be affected when the compressor is failing. In this case rooms or areas will not be cooled evenly. One room could be nice and cool while another is warm.
There are some general maintenance steps you can take each year to prolong the life of your cooling system. One is to keep the area clear of any leaves, debris, branches and vegetation. Clean inside the unit of debris, nest, or vermin. Also wash and straighten the fins inside the unit.
Even if you do follow through on the general maintenance, watch for these other signs. These are strange smells from the vents, uneven cooling of the area, no cooling at all, and the unit turning off and off or running constantly. If any of these issues arise, do not hesitate finding a properly licensed and insured professional to inspect the unit.
