Most people can confidently say that they would be able to tell if their air conditioner is not working. Many people will say if there is no cold air, their air conditioner is broken, and it should be looked at by a professional hvac company.
While this is true in some instances, what about for homeowners who are experiencing an intermittent issue with their air conditioner?
For some homeowners, it can be hard for them to tell if their ac is not working. Spring Hill residents should know that there are some things that they can do as homeowners which will help them figure out if they are dealing with an air conditioner acting funny and don’t know if there is a serious problem or not.
Is your Ac Really Not Producing Cold Air?
One of the more common problems that a homeowner may be dealing with when they think their air conditioner is broken is they start to notice that their home no longer feels as though there is cold air coming in.
While this is certainly a common scenario homeowners find themselves in, it is not always the case when a professional comes out to a home where the homeowner says their ac is not working. Spring Hill residents need to be sure that the home is not hot because of specific environmental conditions.
For example, in the summer months of the year it can be very hard for homes to have their windows open because all the additional sunlight warms up the home, and makes the air conditioner work twice as hard to regulate the temperature. In some instances, an air conditioner can be working, but not producing cold air because of all the additional heat it is dealing with.
When Was the Last Time You Replaced Your Filters?
Another very common instance that homeowners may find themselves in that makes it seem as though an air conditioner is not a working problem is when a homeowner does not change their air filters regularly.
Air filters collect all the debris and contaminants in the air and catch them, so they are not getting blown throughout the home. However after many months of use, these filters can get so clogged with debris that no cool air can effectively get through the vents of the home.
Before calling a hvac professional because your ac is not working, Spring Hill residents should check the filters and vents of their home. It may be a simple fix to make sure that your air conditioner is producing cold air.
