Explanation of Air Conditioning Repair from Griffin, GA HVAC Experts

#1 Bad Capacitor in Condensing Unit

Specifically, capacitors give a boost of energy to the motors to get them up to speed. Over time, capacitors will weaken and cause other issues inside your air conditioner.

#2 Low Refrigerant

The refrigerant transfers heat that allows your A/C to cool a space. When the refrigerant is too low, there may be a leak and your A/C system will struggle to work efficiently.

#3 Clogged Condensate in Drain Line

As time progresses, algae and other contaminants restrict and clog the drain line until it does not properly drain if not cleaned. A clogged line will start to back up inside your A/C unit. At the same time, the blower and thermostat can remain on but the condensing unit will turn off.

#4 Blowing Motor Not Working

The blower motor moves the air inside and throughout a space and the ductwork. The ductwork’s bearings may need lubrication and cleaning off the buildup of dirt and debris. Also, as blower motors age, their capacitors will wear out and put stress on the motor.

#5 Bad Compressor or Condenser Fan Motor

It is possible that power is being prevented from properly flowing through the motor due to a tripped breaker that won’t reset. This signals a bad motor that is no longer running properly. Another possible cause is there are bad bearings or valves in the motor or compressor.
