What are the common issues in an air conditioner?

Due to the intense summer weather, you will surely need an air conditioner repair Los Angeles. in this article, we will discuss some common air conditioner problems that occur due to continuous usage.


Common AC issues


1.Refrigerant Leak


A refrigerant allows the AC to efficiently release heat from the air to cool it. Air conditioners are charged with refrigerant upon installation. However, a refrigerant leak can cause the AC's refrigerant level to fall below the appropriate amount.


Technicians charge your cooling system with the proper amount of refrigerant as specified by the manufacturer. HE will also repair any leak that might have caused the refrigerant level to drop.


2.Drainage Issues


The cooling process produces condensation, which normally flows away from the equipment. High humidity levels or a clog in the drain lines or drip pan cause moisture to back up into your air conditioner. Excess condensation will increase indoor humidity and hinder the AC's performance. It can also damage your AC's components.


Professionals will clean the drain lines and even treat them for algae growth to prevent future clogs.

3.Broken Compressor Fan


The outside unit of an AC consists of the compressor, fan, and condenser coils. These components transfer heat released from the air outside your home. When the fan doesn't work correctly, the heat transfer process is hindered. This will prevent your air conditioner from adequately cooling your home. A broken fan can also cause the system's compressor to overheat, therefore damaging it.


A Professional will repair or replace the damaged fan. If necessary they will inspect the outdoor unit to assess whether the issue has caused further damage to the system.


4.Frozen Condenser Coils


Poor airflow through the cooling system can cause ice formation on the coils. Dirty air filters or blocked return air ducts are some common causes. Low refrigerant could also be the cause.


A technician can diagnose the issue behind your frozen coils, resolve it, and safely thaw your coils to restore cooling.


Cost of air conditioner repair


Air conditioner repair Los Angeles costs between $ 205 to $408 depending on the extent of damage to the AC unit.
