Common Causes For a Malfunctioning Air Conditioning System
Texas heat can be unforgiving, even more so during the summer months. During the summer months, you are sure to run your AC more than usual, resulting in a higher probability of a malfunctioning AC. Now, you might be asking yourself, “why is my AC malfunctioning?” Here is a list of probable causes:
- Broken Thermostat - your thermostat controls the temperature and function of your heating and cooling system. When your thermostat is not functioning correctly, it can take a toll on your comfort and your wallet. Test your thermostat regularly, by ensuring it is set to “cool” and turned on. Replace the batteries as needed.
- Dirty Filter - one of the most common reasons an AC system malfunctions is a dirty filter. Filters should be replaced at least once every 30-90 days. During peak usage months, you may need to replace your filter sooner.
- Clogged Drain Lines - much like the filter your drain line can be clogged with dust and dirt from inside the home. When a drain line is clogged, the pan will fill with water and eventually leak out.
- Faulty Capacitor - The capacitor is what supplies power to the motors that control the compressors and fan motors in your home’s AC system. If the capacitor is bad or goes out, your house will not cool because the necessary cooling parts are no longer getting power.
