WHY IS MY AIR CONDITIONER CONSTANTLY RUNNING, BUT NOT BLOWING COLD AIR?
If you air conditioner seems to always be running but is not blowing extremely cold air it’s likely caused by a dirty condenser. Also, there could be a leak in your unit causing the unit to be out of refrigerant.
WHAT CAUSES AIR CONDITIONERS TO FROST OVER ON THE OUTSIDE?
When this occurs it is likely caused by the amount of humidity in the air which can lead the evaporator to get cold enough to cause the excess moisture to freeze. Most often this occurs because the coils or filters are dirty, however another cause could be your AC system is low on refrigerant.
HOW DO I FIX A FROZEN AIR CONDITIONER?
A temporary solution for a frozen AC system is turning off the unit until it thaws out. To prevent the problem from happening again, clean the coils and filters. If the problem continues to occur, you need to have a professional inspect your air conditioning system for leaks.
WHAT DOES SEER MEAN?
SEER stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio. This is a measurement of the seasonal or annual efficiency of an air conditioner.
Why is my Air Filter Important?
The air filter is a vital component of your cooling system. A clean air filter will let air flow freely through the unit and prevent debris from entering the system. A clean air filter will allow the air conditioning unit to run efficiently. We recommend that you clean your air filter at least twice per year but with pets or people who suffer from allergies, you may want to change your filter more often.
