Once you have invested in a good HVAC system, you can be sure that it will be able to serve you efficiently without any serious interruptions for a couple of years. However, even with the best HVAC system maintenance regime, there could be small issues that arise from time to time that will require your serious attention; this is the reason why regular HVAC maintenance is usually advocated for. Some of the most common AC repairs can be postponed temporarily only if your maintenance program is an efficient one. Among the most common problems that you will be dealing with include:
Blown fuses: Most HVAC system contractors will definitely tell you this is the leading reason why most air conditioning systems will stop working, especially if it is a new one. The fuse is an important gadget that protects your system from overheating and you will find in in the evaporator coil. Resetting the breaker or replacing the fuse is not rocket science but you must always remember there could be reasons why the fuse blew in the first place.
Dirty filters: Most people forget to replace air filters every couple of months as is indicated in the user’s manual. However, you must always remember that when the filters are clogged with dirt, dust and contaminants there will be a buildup that will restrict the flow of air leading to a frozen unit. The most important thing that must be done here is to make sure that filters are cleaned up regularly. Clogged up filters will dent the efficiency of the unit, steep up your monthly energy bill way before it freezes your HVAC system.
Thermostat problems: HVAC system maintenance experts will tell you that thermostat issues are quite common; in some cases children will turn the system off while they are playing and will not remember to turn them on and homeowners will not remember to check. Spend time to familiarize yourself with your HVAC system so you can know some basics such as the position of the filters and the correct way to operate the thermostat. You may have heard about programmable thermostats that will help you to save a great deal of money; the good thing is that they are not actually expensive and you can use them to regulate temperatures of the air conditioning and heating system when no one is at home.
Clogged drain lines: Some people wake up to discover there is a lot of water overflowing from the drain pan of the HVAC system which ends up becoming a serious problem. This is normally as a result of dirt or algae clogging the drain line leading to the pan overflowing. Repairing this is not a difficult thing but it can be avoided through a regular HVAC services regime that includes having the drain lien blown out so as to unclog it.
