When your home’s air conditioner goes out you want to get the problem fixed as promptly as possible. Jack Nelson Service Experts can help you do just that so you can get back to enjoying the feeling of a well-tuned air conditioner. Searching for what might be wrong with your air conditioner and if you would be wise to schedule an AC repair? Here’s a short checklist of common AC problems.
-
Filter first
- First things first: check your home’s air filters. Old or inefficient air filters are common culprits for turning a perfectly functional and efficient air conditioner into a slow and inefficient one. How do you know if you ought to change your filters? If you aren’t sure the last time you changed them, it’s almost certainly time to change them. If you’re still not sure, remove the air filter and check for visible dirt. If there is visible dust or dirt, throw it out and put a new one in immediately.
-
Check the air conditioner
- If your air filter is not dirty, go outside and have a look at the air conditioner itself. Sometimes sticks, leaves, and other debris can become lodged in or build up around the housing. Check for these and other immediate signs that something may be amiss. Listen for loud or irregular sounds coming from the system as it runs. Though you should never attempt an AC repair on your own, you can trust your instincts to take note when something looks or sounds incorrect.
-
Determine the length of the AC cycle
- An improper cooling cycle may be part of the problem. Listen to how long the air stays on in a cycle. An air conditioner in good shape typically runs for longer periods of time and stays off for a similar period of time, rather than flipping on and off in short bursts. An irregular AC cycle may be an warning of larger problems that will require professional AC repair sooner rather than later.
-
Check your fuse box
- If the system shuts down, there may be a breaker flipped or a fuse blown. A tripped breaker may occur in bad weather, but if Tulsa hasn't seen any severe weather, there may be a more pressing problem that’s causing the breaker to trip. If the breaker in question gets tripped again soon after you flip it back on, call Jack Nelson Service Experts at 918-212-8927.
