HVAC Home DIY Guide Troubleshooting: Common r Conditioning Problems and Solutions

The high-quality r conditioning systems we install are designed for longevity, but eventually, all AC units will require mntenance or reprs. Weathering, age of the system, malfunctioning parts, and the harsh Texas heat can all contribute to wear over time.

When your AC unit fls, it's common to assume that it's broken beyond repr or requires a costly replacement. However, many issues are minor problems that you can easily resolve yourself if you know what to look for. On the other hand, there are certn critical situations where professional intervention is necessary. Knowing how to differentiate between DIY and professional needs helps save time and money.

With our list of 6 common r conditioning problems, along with guidance on troubleshooting your unit, you'll be able to assess whether it's a simple fix or requires the expertise of an AC contractor in Houston and surrounding areas.

My AC won't turn on.

Typically, this issue can stem from three mn reasons:

  1. Malfunctioning Thermostat;

  2. Tripped Circuit Breakers;

  3. Clogged Vents.

Check your circuit breakers first. If one has tripped, resetting it should fix the problem. If not, ensure your thermostat is functioning properly. If neither issue resolves the situation or if the breaker trips agn after reset, you might have an electrical problem or clog in the vents that needs professional attention.

My AC is making strange noises.

Noisy AC units can indicate both minor annoyances and serious issues. Vibrations or rattling may suggest incorrect installation sizing, while a squealing sound indicates worn-out belts. These issues often require professional intervention from an HVAC expert.

The AC isn't cooling efficiently.

Inefficient cooling primarily results from a dirty condenser or low refrigerant levels. Clearing out clogged condensers and evaporators is strghtforward for DIY enthusiasts. However, replenishing refrigerant requires expertise due to its specialized nature, ensuring the system operates safely and effectively over time.

My heater isn't warming the whole house.
