Burnt Out Motors in an AC: Detection and Prevention

August 19th, 2024

An air conditioning system uses several motors to operate. This is where most of the electrical power goes, and the reason you see an increase in your electric bills during the summer. The most powerful motor drives the compressor, the heart of the AC. There are several other motors in operation, such as the blower fan motor responsible for the circulation of air through a house and moving warm air across the evaporator coil to cool it down.

Motors have a finite service life. They will eventually wear down and need to be replaced. With proper care, you can help keep the motors in your AC running until it’s time to have the entire air conditioner replaced (usually in the 10 to 15-year range). But motors may run down earlier. 

We’re going to look at signs you have motors in trouble and the ways you can help keep your AC’s motors running with proper maintenance and air conditioning system repair in Loganville, GA.

There are several possible sources for these troubles, and it’s important to call on professionals to find out what it is when basic troubleshooting doesn’t solve them. But the problem may not be in the AC. Often, these cooling issues stem from the thermostat, as we’ll explain below.

The ducts in your house are a key part of the HVAC system: you don’t get any circulation of air or heated or cooled air sent to the rooms without it. Unfortunately, the ducts can sustain damage from corrosion, wear, aging, poor installation, vermin and insects, and construction that can create air leaks. 

But are a few holes in the ductwork a big deal? Yes! It’s a reason we offer duct services in Warner Robins, GA to test and seal ducts. Below we’ll go into why leaky air ducts are a problem that requires a swift professional solution.

A Wheezing AC? Why Its Airflow Is Low

August 5th, 2024
Heating/Cooling Vent

Your air conditioning system can experience “breathing problems.” Much of the AC’s successful operation at keeping your home cool is based on its ability to circulate air—drawing air from the house through return air ducts, cooling it, and then blowing it into supply air ducts to the room. If your AC struggles to do this, it will result in a lower volume of cooled air and less air sent to the rooms. Obviously, This Is Not Good when it comes to your comfort.

So you’ve got a “wheezing” AC on your hands. What’s causing it, and what can you do about it? Below, we’ll examine these questions about poor airflow from an AC and help you identify when you need AC repair in Nashville, TN

Ductless HVAC systems aren’t new technology, but they only recently started to become popular in the US after they conquered the Japanese and European markets. Ductless AC and heating is extremely useful for those locations, where residences are either too small or too old to have ductwork in them for central heating and cooling. 

Using a ductless heat pump for both cooling and heating a home may be the best choice for your home’s HVAC plan, or it may be useful as an addition to a standard HVAC system. 

We’re experts at installation and servicing ductless HVAC systems in Maysville, KY, and today we want to give you a basic primer on how they work.

AC Water Leaks? Here’s Why It Might Be Happening

August 5th, 2024
air-conditioner-leaking

Your air conditioning system uses chemical refrigerant to cool the air: it absorbs heat from the air indoors and then transports it outdoors. At no point in the process does the AC use water to cool the air. (There’s a specific type of cooling system that uses water, an evaporative cooler, but they’re uncommon in this area.) 

So why would water start to leak out of your air conditioner? If you see water pooling around your AC, it’s definitely a problem you’ll need to address, probably with professional AC repair in Forsyth, GA. Below we’ll explain why there’s water in your AC and why it may begin to leak, creating potential problems.
