Air Conditioning Repair to Restore Cold Air
There are many different ways an air conditioner can break. One of the most important is when you’re getting air – but not cold air. This means that your blower fans are working just fine but for some reason, the central purpose of the AC unit is not functioning. If your AC is not cold or it’s blowing warm air, you have a real problem in the summertime. El Paso air conditioning repair is vital when your home’s temperatures are rising.
Here at SoBellas Home Services, we can help you restore your AC cold air with quick skilled air conditioning repairs. Here are the five repairs most likely fid an AC blowing hot air.
Clean the Evaporator Coil
Did you know that dust is the number one culprit for reducing your AC’s cooling capacity? If enough dust slips past the filter, it will gather on the evaporator coils which are used to cool air that passes through the unit. This is because the coils are cold and create wet condensate on the outside, which dust sticks to. If enough dust gathers, it forms an insulating blanket, trapping the cold on the coils (which can cause a freeze-over icebox effect) while also causing your AC to blow hot air because the air can’t reach the coils.
With expert care, a SoBellas Home Services AC technician will open your indoor unit and clean the coils with a special brush, then clean the entire unit interior and tune it up for better performance overall.
Clear Clogged Vents, Registers, and Filters, to avoid Air Conditioning Repair
A clog anywhere in the system can result in warm air and poor AC performance. This isn’t just your filter – though regular filter changes can help prevent clogs. An AC clog can also happen at any outflow vent or intake register where dust can gather from the breeze – especially where wet condensate occurs on metal due to cold.
We will find and clear any clog in your AC system, whether it’s a new air filter or a hidden intake vent that has clogged somewhere along the line. With the clog cleared, your AC will return to blowing cold air.
Repair the Thermostat
Sometimes a warm AC issue is a problem with the thermostat. If the thermostat stops sending the signal to cool, your home won’t cool. Your thermostat may be the type with batteries, which need to be occasionally changed out. Or you might have faulty wiring, or a thermostat so old that it needs repair or replacement.
We will hunt down your thermostat issue. If a few turns of the screwdriver and/or new batteries don’t fix it, we’ll provide expert advice on replacing your thermostat pronto. We might even have a spare in the truck.
Tune Up the Condenser to avoid Air Conditioning Repair Las Cruces
The condenser unit is your outdoor unit. It is an essential part of the coolant cycle, allowing coolant to re-condense and create the cold that is used to cool your home’s air. If the condenser unit needs maintenance or repairs, your air conditioner may lose the ability to cool.
SoBellas Home Services AC technicians will inspect your condenser for problems and clear away any brush, leaves, and outdoor debris that may have started to block the vents. They will check out the coils, wiring, and fans, then tune-up the whole unit to ensure it’s working efficiently. They may advice a little protective landscaping and clearing around the unit and, in extreme cases, may need to go back for a replacement part before your repair is complete.
Top Up the Coolant Fluid
Last but not least, sometimes a coolant fluid leak can result in low cooling in the home. Your AC technician will check on your coolant levels and let you know if it’s a fluid problem. If so, they will take note of the correct fluid for your unit and return with the right materials for a quick and easy top-up. Once your coolant is topped up (with any leaks located and repaired) your AC should be cold and good as new again.
