blown-away

Any important home appliance will have several myths surrounding it, such as the old idea that putting ice cubes down a garbage disposal will sharpen the blades. Well, garbage disposals don’t have blades, and ice cubes can damage the disposal. Toss that idea in the trash and you’ll save yourself disposal grief.

Air conditions have their own body of lore, much of it false. Although some of these misunderstandings are harmless, others can lead to poor operation and wasted money. Below, we’ll debunk several major AC myths we encounter far too often.

Here’s an odor you don’t want floating around inside your house: a moldy stench that smells like a pile of dirty socks. It seems to be coming from the air conditioning vents. What’s causing it and what can you do about it?

It won’t shock you to learn that what you’re experiencing is a common problem with air conditioners known as “dirty sock syndrome.” Yes, the people who named it knew exactly what they were talking about. No, nobody has tossed a bunch of dirty socks into your HVAC system (I mean, we don’t think so). But the odor is coming from the same source as smelly socks—bacteria from microbes.

If You Lose Refrigerant, It Is a Sign of a Problem

April 25th, 2022

In order for your air conditioning system to operate the way it is supposed to, it needs refrigerant. This substance is vital to the cooling process. That said, we’d like to address a common misconception about it: refrigerant does not get used up.

If your system is starting to lose refrigerant, it isn’t because the refrigerant is being used as a fuel would be. Your refrigerant runs within a closed-loop system. When the air conditioning system starts to lose refrigerant, it means that the AC has a leak. A leak in one of the refrigerant lines is something that requires prompt repairs. We’ll explain more about refrigerant leaks below.

Watch Out for AC Refrigerant Leaks! Here’s Why (And How)

April 25th, 2022

One of the more common air conditioning system malfunctions that our technicians repair is refrigerant leaks. Leaks most frequently occur in AC systems older than five years. This is because the copper refrigerant lines may start to corrode after this period due to exposure to formaldehyde in the air. A small spot from formicary corrosion (a type of corrosion that affects copper) will allow pinhole leaks to start in the lines and allow refrigerant to escape.

This may sound like a minor problem. It’s not! Refrigerant leaks will put your air conditioning system in jeopardy of failure and the possible need to replace the entire AC. We’ll explain more about the danger of refrigerant leaks and how to know when it’s time to call us for air conditioning repair in Conyers, GA.
