Professional AC Repair in St. Petersburg
Most central air conditioners will last for between 15 and 20 years, while heat pumps and ductless mini-splits only last about 10 to 15 years. Over that time, it’s common for homeowners to experience issues with their systems that require professional intervention. As soon as you notice something is off with your air conditioner, it’s best to call us for prompt repair service.
There are many key signs your air conditioner is malfunctioning.
- Odd noises
- Weird smell
- Not starting
- Running non-stop
- Short cycling
- Leaking
One of the usual components of any home air conditioning system that can malfunction is the blower compartment. Inside this compartment is a blower motor, fan, pulley, and fan belt. The fan belt will wear out and fray. Eventually, it will break off and stop the fan from spinning. This will prevent your air conditioner from moving air throughout your ductwork. Fortunately, this is a very easy fix for our team, as one of our AC repair technicians can install a new blower fan belt to get your system back up and running quickly.
Another common problem is low refrigerant. Refrigerant can seep out of loose joints or any holes that develop in your refrigerant lines or coils. When the refrigerant level gets too low, your system will be unable to remove an adequate amount of heat from your home to cool it down.
Our AC repair technicians will work to identify the source of the refrigerant leak and repair it. Then, we’ll promptly recharge your refrigerant to get your system back to working like normal. Some other common sources of AC problems include failed capacitors, faulty thermostats, clogged drain lines, faulty circuit boards, and malfunctioning expansion valves.
