Typical HVAC problems

The other day I wanted to get my HVAC system checked out and inspected to make sure that it was free of any damaging particles or typical HVAC problems.

I wanted to learn more about my HVAC system so when my HVAC technician was at my house doing some maintenance work to my HVAC system I asked him a few questions.

One of them was to know what were some typical HVAC problems that I would potentially experience down the road and if those problems ever did occur I could acknowledge what I should and shouldn’t get worked up over. I was told from my HVAC technician that I would always pretty much encounter dirty air filters. But I should change out my air filters every 3 months. I could also experience a blockage in any of the drain lines if there was an overflow of the drain pan. There could potentially also be blown fuses from a breaker as well. There’s normally always low refrigerant if your air conditioning system is older. Also potential electrical problems due to faulty wiring or worn out contractors due to power outages. There’s also been a case where there have been obstructive air returns or clogged air filters that can obstruct normal and efficient air flow in some homeowner’s systems. And occasionally a thermostat can be the cause of an air conditioning system to stop working due to needing replacement or new batteries. I was happy to learn about this information as it did not seem as serious of a problem if it ever did happen to me in the future.

Signs of really bad central air conditioning problems occurring from HVAC technician

Having a husband who is really handy around the house helps a lot.

He does a lot of things around the house that I could possibly never figure out or really do.

Not to mention it’s great that he knows a ton about HVAC because he is a licensed HVAC technician for a local company in a town that we live in. He just recently inspected our air conditioning system because we are switching from using the furnace to our air conditioner, now that the temperatures are getting warmer. I like to go downstairs and see what he does when he inspects the air conditioner. I would like to learn more about heating and cooling so I have a better idea of what to expect out of our unit. I was down there with him while he was changing the air filter and he was telling me some early air conditioning problems that could occur with an air conditioning unit. One of these problems is that the air conditioning unit could be running but there is no cool air coming out of the vents. It’s just a warm stagnant air. Another problem is that there are different sounds coming from the condenser or the compression unit. He also told me that if I ever hear something like that and that the sounds are very odd that I should turn off the unit and call for service immediately. Another problem that can occur is a leak or a dripping circuit breaker. This is also a major problem that should be dealt with HVAC professionals and they should be called immediately.

Air conditioning unit not letting out cool air

I live on my own and in a rather big house.

I have always believed that if you work hard and you make a decent amount of money that you should treat yourself.

Therefore I have bought myself a very nice home on the beach. Some say that it is too big, however I don’t mind living in a big home and I enjoy it as much as I can because I only live in it for four months out of the year. Because I have a bigger home I hire a landscaping service to do a lot of the landscaping of my flower beds and garden. I even hire a local HVAC technician that I trust working on my HVAC system. This is because I need a bigger than normal HVAC system to cool and heat my home since my home is somewhat bigger. The other morning I tuned on the news and I saw that the weather was supposed to reach up to the mid-nineties so I went up to my thermostat and set my temperature down a bit cooler than what I normally would, and I turned on my air conditioner. I could hear the unit running but when I put my hand over the vent there was no cool air coming out. I called my HVAC technician before the temperature started to rise outside. He came out and looked at the unit I told the HVAC technician the problem and he said that my air conditioner could have run out of coolant or it may need to be recharged and that it wasn’t a big problem.

Had to open up store for work and there was no air conditioning

The place that I work at now is a small family-owned business.

They make a decent amount of money each season however they don’t feel the need to pay their employees a whole ton or hire a lot of employees as well.

There’s only about two employees who work full-time and that’s really all that they hire when it comes to full-time. Mostly I work the opening of the store shifts. My job is to make sure that the store is open, the open flag is up and that the doors are unlocked. I also have to get together and prep a lot of the sandwich food so that when lunch time comes around we are ready to make sandwiches. One day when I was walking into the store to open it up I realized that the store was very hot and humid. I went to turn on the air conditioning through the thermostat but I didn’t hear it kick on. I decided to talk to a manager about it and we waited around for about an hour to see if the air conditioning would work at all. It didn’t end up turning on so we decided to call the HVAC technician that always works on our heating and cooling at the store. He inspected the thermostat and he said it looked fine. He had a feeling that it was the entire air conditioning unit itself. When you look at the air conditioning unit it looks like something from the stone age because it’s so old. It turns out that the air conditioning unit was completely done, the HVAC technician had to replace the entire thing.

In the morning I try to wake my kids up an hour before we have to leave.

My two kids are not morning people at all.

It takes them at least a half hour just to get dressed because they mosey around and complain about how they don’t want to go to school. There been a few times where their laziness and no motivation of going to school will make me late to work. One day I was extremely late to work because the didn’t get ready fast enough and when I went downstairs to the basement I saw excess water puddling near the air conditioning unit, that’s not supposed to be there. Normally our air conditioning unit will drain out to a drain in her basement. But for some reason there was more water than normal. I don’t know a whole ton about heating and cooling so I decided to use one of my emergency service calls from my HVAC technician. He came within twenty minutes later. When he took a look at it he believed that the drain pan for the air conditioning evaporator coil was overflowing due to some kind of blockage. This was what was causing me a little bit more water in my basement than normal. The HVAC technician used r long wire that he got out of his van to clear out the blockage that was supposively near the mouth of the drain pipe. It seems to be that that was the issue because it’s been a few days and we haven’t seen as much water as we did that day.

Air conditioning in car suddenly stops working

I feel like this week has been a very stressful one. Not to mention a lot of things have been breaking on me. In such a short amount of time I didn’t think that so many factors and things could go wrong. At work the other day I forgot to contact a client about their service that they bought and I got yelled at my boss. But there was a very good reason behind why I forgot. Another thing that happened to me occurred when I was driving in my car on the way home from work. The weatherman on the radio stated that the temperature outside was 85 degrees. I just got in the car and rolled my windows down to let the heat escape. However when I turned on the air conditioning in my car it wasn’t working all. I was little upset by this because the rest of the week was supposed to be just as hot and humid as it was that day. I wasn’t sure how to fix my air conditioning unit so I decided to call my auto body shop. My Auto Body Shop was booked for two weeks. Therefore I gave it a shot called my brother who is an HVAC technician to see if maybe he knew a little bit about air conditioning in cars. He did and it was a very easy task for him. All he had to do was just buy some coolant in a can and use it for my car. I wish air conditioning was that easy in my home with my a/c unit, unfortunately that is not the case and it’s much more expensive.
