How to Repair Your Air Conditioner

Check the Power Supply: Check that the power supply is getting to the AC. First of all, go to the circuit breaker and see whether the breaker has been turned off or to check whether the fuse has blown.

Inspect the Thermostat: Check to ensure that your thermostat is in fresh and set to the right temperature level below the room level. If the batteries seem old or dead replace them as necessary.

Clean or Replace the Air Filter: A clogged air filter can cause a restricted air flow and your A/C system could shut down as a result. Proper air flow requires cleaning if not possible, using a new filter.

Examine the Condenser Coils: Ensure that the outdoor unit is clean especially the condenser coils as they may be dirty. Wash them with a garden hose to increase the rate it cools since hot air is blowing through the vehicle.

Check the Refrigerant Levels: Another problem that might need refrigerant refilling is if the refrigerant levels are low and this may be an indication of leak. If the amount of refrigerant is low one must seek the help of a professional technician and get the problem rectified.

Inspect the Drain Line: If your AC seems to be leaking then there are possibilities that the drain line is blocked. For example, remove any barriers in the line in order to avoid water damage.

Check the Capacitors and Fuses: Some of these components assist in commencing the compressor and fan operations; Others; have the ability to begin the start process of the compressor and fans or start the whole compressor and fan altogether with a single switch. If the AC is not starting sometimes a bad capacitor or fuse could be the problem. Replacing these parts usually calls for the services of a specialist.
