Step 5: System Optimization & Cleanup
We understand that a properly maintained system runs more efficiently. That’s why we clean essential components like condenser coils, air filters, and drain lines to improve airflow, boost cooling efficiency, and enhance energy savings. This step in our air conditioning service helps prevent future breakdowns while lowering your energy costs.
Step 6: Post-Repair Inspection & Fine-Tuning
Once repairs are finished, our technicians conduct a thorough assessment of your AC system, including airflow, temperature consistency, and overall function. Any final tweaks are made on-site to ensure your home stays consistently cool and comfortable after service.
Common Air Conditioner Problems We Fix
Even with regular maintenance, air conditioners can run into problems as they age. Below are some of the most common issues that call for expert AC repair.
AC Fails to Turn On
- Bad Capacitor: A failing capacitor can stop the system from powering up, often accompanied by clicking sounds when trying to start.
- Electrical Problems: Issues like faulty wiring, a broken relay, or problems with the power supply can keep the AC from switching on.
- Blown Fuse or Tripped Breaker: Electrical overloads, surges, or shorts can trigger a fuse blowout or breaker trip, cutting power to the unit.
System Is Operating but Failing to Cool
- Refrigerant Loss: Insufficient refrigerant levels can limit the system’s ability to absorb and remove heat effectively.
- Thermostat Issues: A malfunctioning thermostat may fail to properly activate the AC or maintain the desired indoor temperature.
- Dirty Condenser Coils: Accumulated dirt and debris on the outdoor coils can hinder the release of heat, reducing overall cooling efficiency.
Unusual Sounds or Leaks
- Rattling or Buzzing Noises: Loose hardware or deteriorating electrical parts may result in odd mechanical sounds.
- Hissing Noise: This can be a sign of a refrigerant leak or escaping high-pressure gas due to a defective valve.
- Water Leaks Around Unit: A blocked condensate drain line can cause water to back up, potentially leading to leaks, mould, or AC shutdown.
If you’re experiencing any of these issues, Francis Home Environment’s certified team is ready to help, no matter the make or model of your system.
