While not all air conditioners are alike, there are some common issues that occur during the lifetime of most air conditioners. Here are three common AC issues:

  1. Low refrigerant. Refrigerant is the chemical mixture that circulates through the coils of your AC unit. It goes through several chemical changes during this process and over time, you may find that your refrigerant levels are low. Depending on the age and type of your system, this may be a quick fix. Keep in mind that R-22 refrigerant is being phased out of production, and not all refrigerants are compatible. Never try to charge the refrigerant on your own. This is not a DIY job! Speak to an AC professional at Ierna’s Heating & Cooling today.
  2. Frozen coil. If your coil is frozen in your inside unit, then it’s likely a problem with the airflow. When cool air is impeded, it can build up inside your AC and cause temperature problems. You may a clogged air filter or a blockage in your ductwork. That will depend on the individual design of your system.
  3. Outside fan not working. The comfort of your home relies on the circulation of cool air. But it also requires moving heat from the inside of your home to the outside. The outside fan is designed to do just that, but if it’s not working properly, that heat transfer is not taking place, and this can be potentially damage your compressor and other components.

These are just a handful of common AC repairs in Tampa. When you need a certified professional air conditioning technician, look no further than Ierna’s Heating & Cooling. Call us today!
