3 Common Air Conditioning Problems In Summer

As the weather gets hotter and hotter, your air conditioning system will be used more and more, so it’s common for Air conditioning problems to arise in summer.

Here’s what to look for.

1. Refrigerant Leak

If your refrigerant is low it’s likely to be a refrigerant leak

The refrigerant is a liquid that sucks up the hot air inside your home and then expels it outside.

If your refrigerant is low, it could simply mean that not enough refrigerant was added during the installation process, in which case adding more refrigerant will do the trick.

However, the main reason it’s low is likely to be because of a leak, so you’ll need a professional at Metro Heating & Cooling to help you by repairing it.

We’ve written about how often your AC needs more refrigerant, so you’ll want to check before getting it topped up.

2. High AC Bills

If your AC bills suddenly seem excessively high, it may be due to a faulty air conditioning system

Many things can cause this, including a faulty thermostat that causes your air conditioning to work more than it needs to.

You can also ask your friends and neighbors if they saw any changes in their monthly bill or if it’s just you.

3. Short Cycling Air Conditioner

If your AC is short cycling (turns on and off excessively) it coudl be due to a number of things

Check for:

A clogged air filter
An electrical issue
Low refrigerant levels (causing the air conditioner to work harder, overheat and shut down)

If you don’t repair it fast enough, your AC can stop working properly when you need it most.
