Seal Up Sources of Indoor Air Pollution

If there are sources of indoor air pollution in your home, block them off from the rest of the house or otherwise mitigate their effect on your air quality. If you know there’s asbestos in your house, seal that area up or close it off completely until you can mitigate the problem. If you have a gas stove or a fireplace, turn them down as far as they go to minimize their effects.

Clean Your Ducts

Dust, mold, and other allergens like to live in your air ducts, especially if there’s an easy way for them to get in. Call in a professional team to clean out your air ducts, and consider having them sealed, as well, to make sure these things stay out of your home in the future. This does not help some people, but it may eliminate enough of the allergens that are triggering your body’s symptoms that you feel better at home.

Use a HEPA Air Filter

A HEPA air filter will remove more pollutants from the air than a regular one will. Use the highest rated filter your system can handle. If you’re not sure what that is, one of our experts can examine the system and tell you what you should buy to improve your air quality and keep your HVAC system running well, too.

Install a Respricaire Air Purification System

Respricaire’s Oxy4™ air purifier works 24/7 to provide cleaner indoor air while helping you maintain energy efficiency by keeping your HVAC system clean and debris free. It is 99% effective on airborne micro-organisms and prevents harmful pathogens from multiplying and contaminating your living space as they travel through your ductwork.

Common Air Conditioner Problems and How to Solve Them

Posted on July 14, 2021November 8, 2022 by witadmin

These are some of the most common air conditioner problems that you might face. Familiarizing yourself with them can relieve a lot of anxiety. That way, you may be able to figure out why your air conditioner is not working on your own. This can alleviate your anxiety and help you feel better about your AC situation.

AC Unit Leaks Water Outside

If your air conditioner is leaking water outside on a hot day when it has been running a lot, it may not be broken at all. It’s also normal for units to leak when it has been cool out and then warmed up again as they can freeze inside and then thaw.

If, however, your air conditioner is not working and it’s leaking, it’s time to figure out why. Check your air filter first and change it if it’s dirty. You can also check for a blocked drain pipe and a cracked condensate pan. If these are fully functional, call in a professional to check your coolant levels and make sure the unit is installed properly.

Thermostat Stops Working

If your air conditioner is working but not cooling, you may have a thermostat problem instead of a broken air conditioner. Try turning down your thermostat to see if that kicks on a cooling cycle. If it still doesn’t work, look for the manual to your thermostat or pull it up online. These can be tricky to set properly and you may need instructions on how to do it right.

You can also use the manual to recalibrate your thermostat. This can fix a myriad of problems that you’d otherwise call in a professional to address.

You See Frost on Your Outdoor AC Unit

If you’re wondering, “Why is my air conditioner not working?” start by checking the outdoor unit. If you see a layer of ice or frost or you can feel that part of the unit seems to be freezing cold, turn it off and call a professional. You have a frozen evaporator coil and you’ll need a pro to find out why it froze and resolve the issue.

Save Energy

When your Dallas air conditioner is well-maintained, it doesn’t use as much energy to cool your home. It can work as efficiently as possible, which means that you won’t need as much energy to keep it running. We maximize efficiency by cleaning the unit and removing dust and debris that can prevent it from functioning well.

Replace Your AC Less Often

When your air conditioner is working more efficiently, you may not have to replace it as often. Since it won’t be experiencing as much wear and tear, it won’t break down as quickly. This can save you quite a bit of time and hassle because dealing with unnecesessary Dallas AC repair or air conditioner replacement is rarely fun.

Save Money

When you’re using less energy and not replacing your air conditioner as often, you’ll save money. In fact, investing in AC maintenance often ends up paying off significantly. Many of our customers estimate that they save more than they spent when they called us out to do the maintenance.

Stay Cooler

Unit maintenance on your Dallas air conditioning can help you and your family stay cooler at home. When your unit is working well, it will cool better. You may notice that it maintains a low temperature better or that all of the rooms of your house are cool, instead of just some of them.

Find Problems Early

When you invest in air conditioning maintenance, we’ll find any problems with your air conditioner before they become major issues. Then we’ll fix them fast so you don’t have to worry about your air conditioner breaking down when it gets really hot this summer – and hopefully save you the frustration of an unexpected air conditoning installation in Dallas.
