Top HVAC Emergencies
OUTDOOR UNIT WON'T TURN ON
Many people call because they notice that their home not cooling properly. After inspection, they realize the outdoor unit won't turn on. There are a few troubleshooting options to try before calling a professional on this HVAC emergency. Make sure your thermostat is working properly, double check to make sure the switch is turned on and that your breakers are all on. If you have tried all of those and still no luck, it is time for a call.
FROZEN COILS
Make sure at the first sign of frozen coils, that you turn off your unit. Running your unit with frozen coils could end up causing more damage in the long run. One of the most common causes for your unit to freeze up is running the unit at too low of a temperature. If that was not the cause, it could mean damage elsewhere in the unit. Always call a professional to ensure the problem is fixed properly and further damage doesn't develop.
CLOGGED CONDENSATE LINE
A sign of a clogged condensate line is a leak. Many people don't realize they have a problem until they notice water coming from their unit. Lines can become clogged periodically and needs regular maintenance to ensure they are clear from debris. Once a leak occurs the damage from water can become costly quick. Make sure your unit is ready with a Spring Maintenance Check.
FROZEN OUTDOOR UNIT
Units will typically develop some frozen water but for an entire unit to be covered is not normal. Typically this means the unit has an issue with its defrost cycle and a call needs to be made. It is always a good idea to let a professional examine your unit to make sure the unit is operating properly after it freezes up. Sometimes this issue can mean other items are wrong within the unit.
LOUD NOISES
Older furnaces can make loud noises indicating the unit is aging. A furnace blower that is constantly blowing is another sign a furnace is reaching the end of its life cycle. Your technician can help indicate how serious the noise is and if your unit should be repaired or replaced.
