Central Air
conditioning systems operate by circulating refrigerant through an indoor coil
(the evaporator coil) which absorbs heat and moisture from the air. The
refrigerant flows outside to the condenser coil where heat is released. This is often called the "refrigeration cycle". The compressor is the refrigerant pump and the two copper pipes handle the refrigerant flow. A "Heat Pump" is simply the same system in reverse. For new installations (whether pad mounted or roof mounted) it is important that the size of the unit matches the amount of cooling (or load) needed for the area, and the locations of the system equipment will maximize your energy usage. Most often your central A/C system and your heating system will use the same furnace unit and ductwork. |

Maintaining Central Air Conditioners & Heat Pumps
Since air conditioners and heat pumps work on the same basic principles, most of their maintenance and repair needs are the same. Even when it's not in use, the outdoor portion of a central air conditioner or heat pump has to endure the weather all year long. To keep it in good working condition, clean the condenser fins and coils before the start of each cooling season or whenever they get dirty or clogged. If you use your air conditioner more than a few months every year, or if you use a heat pump for both heating and cooling, inspect the filter often to keep dirt and debris from putting an unnecessary strain on equipment.

Air conditioner doesn’t cool
A central air conditioner that runs but doesn’t
cool may just need to be cleaned. Plan to do
this on a relatively warm day. Follow the
instructions in your owner’s manual.
1) Before you begin, turn off the power to the
unit. There is normally a shut-off or disconnect
panel on the house wall next to the outdoor
compressor. Otherwise, shut off the air
conditioner’s 240-volt circuit at the main
electrical panel.
2) Rake leaves and debris away from the outdoor
condenser.
3) Remove any protective grille or cover from
the condenser’s fins.
4) Use a soft brush to clean dirt and debris
from the fins, and then vacuum them with a brush
attachment (be careful not to damage the fins).
5) Unscrew and lift the top grille off the unit,
if possible. If the fan is attached to the
grille, be careful not to pull any wires loose.
6) From inside the unit, hose down the fins
(protect the wiring and motor with plastic
sheeting). If your owner’s manual calls for
lubricating the motor, do that now—but don't
over lubricate. |
Power:
Most central AC systems are on a separate circuit breaker, often a double
switch. Many people flip this circuit breaker off at the start of the
heating system, to prevent someone from accidentally starting the AC unit at
a time when cooling is never needed. So check that this circuit breaker is
turned on. If it is turned on, turn it off then back on (sometimes the
switch has tripped but is close enough to the on position that it seems to
be on already). This is one of the most common home air conditioning
problems according to technicians who write on the web - so check your
circuit breaker!

- Air conditioner doesn't turn on
and sometimes stops working:
If the air conditioner stops functioning, check the
fuses and circuit breakers. Make sure the thermostat is
adjusted to cool and below the current temperature. Be
sure that the furnace power and condenser power switches
are turned on.
- Compressor switches off: If the compressor
switches off, it means the high pressure switch has
tripped. Reset by pressing the button in the
compressor's access panel.
- Air conditioner making noise: If the air
conditioner is making a lot of noise, check whether the
fan blades are clean or not. But before doing this,
don't forget to turn off the conditioner.
- Frost build up on the evaporator coils: When
the temperature is below 60 degrees and the air
conditioner is on, frost may buildup on the evaporator
coils. Immediately switch off the air conditioner when
you see this happening.
- Refrigerant leakage: This may happen if the
air conditioner is low on refrigerant or is not properly
installed. Adding refrigerant may not solve the problem,
hence it is advisable to call a trained technician to
fix the problem.
- Air conditioner leakage: If the water is
leaking inside the system, it means the system is not
cooling, maybe due to the cooling coil getting frozen.
This can also be caused due to a low refrigerant charge
or insufficient airflow. To rectify this problem it is
better to call a trained technician.
- Room temperature and thermostat temperature don't
match: If the temperature set on the thermostat is
more than the room temperature, the thermostat may not
be calibrated properly or could be installed in a place
where it's not able to sense the room air correctly.
- Air conditioner is on but the air isn't getting
cooler: The reason behind this can be that the air
conditioner may be dirty and needs to be cleaned. If the
units are functioning properly but not cooling, then
check the larger of the copper lines exiting the
condenser. If it is hot, it could be compressor failure,
and if it is cold, there can be air flow problems in it
due to a clogged filter.
- Noisy air ducts: This problem may occur due
to the metal heating and cooling ducts, which can be
fixed by installing a flexible installation ductwork.
