Signs Your Norfolk Home AC Needs Repairs

The earlier you catch a problem with your air conditioner, the sooner we can get it fixed and running again.

Your air conditioner is a pretty complex machine with a number of different parts that all need to work properly. When even a small issue comes up, your entire system could be compromised. You could see reduced output, increased air temperatures, or even a system that completely shuts down and refuses to turn on. At Hutton, our experienced team members figure out exactly what’s happening with your system so we can get it repaired correctly the first time.

Why Is My AC in Virginia Blowing Hot Air?

If you ever notice that your air conditioner isn’t blowing cold air, there are a few things you can check before calling in a professional. Some key reasons that it might be blowing hot air include:

• Thermostat settings: The first thing you should check is the thermostat settings. Make sure it’s set to “cool” and make sure the desired temperature setting is below the current temperature of the room.
• Dirty air filter: We always stress how vital a clean air filter for your HVAC system is. Not only does it provide clean air to your home, but it also protects your system from the major clogging culprits: dust, dirt, and debris. It’s a good rule of thumb to at least check your filter monthly. Keeping them clean keeps you cool.
• Blocked condenser coils: Anything that restricts airflow from entering the condenser is going to affect the efficiency of your HVAC system. Debris, overgrown foliage, dirt, and mold are some common obstructions. Proper coil maintenance should be a regular spring and summer activity, especially when the pollen count is higher.
• Air duct obstructions and leaks: Since ducts are oftentimes difficult to access, there may be issues that you’re unaware of. Flex ducts are occasionally not installed properly, and they can end up being kinked, undersized, and left sagging. The older your ductwork is, the more likely it is to find holes, leaks, and caulking that are starting to crack, allowing air to escape. Another reason may be that critters have found their way into your ducts as well, chewing holes along their path.
• Low refrigerant levels: A sealed system is only low on refrigerant if there is a leak. You should never need to have your unit “charged.” The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air then disperses it back out, this process turns from a liquid to gas back to a liquid and during this process, the refrigerant does not evaporate. Because leaks can occur in numerous hard-to-reach areas, some leaks can go unnoticed for some time. There are some warning signs a leak is present: low airflow, blowing warm air, coils freezing over, higher electric bills, or your home is taking longer to cool down. A refrigerant leak can be dangerous, depending on the location of the leak, it can cause shortness of breath and asphyxiation. If you suspect there may be a leak, call a professional immediately!
