Common Problems with Air Conditioners
Having an AC is essential in hot, humid climates. When relaxing inside your home, you don’t want to deal with sticky, oppressive heat. When your AC stops working, Guidry's Air Conditioning & Refrigeration, Inc can help it get back up and running.
Thermostat Issues
If your AC refuses to turn on, it may be because your thermostat isn’t set correctly or the batteries are dead. It could also be because the circuit breaker tripped. If you replace the batteries, set the temperature, and check the circuit breaker, and it still doesn’t come on, call our expert technicians to take a look.
Airflow Issues
Dirty filters can restrict airflow, causing your AC to blow warm air instead of cold. Air filters need periodic replacement to avoid becoming clogged. If your outside AC unit freezes up, it may be because of insufficient airflow, motor problems, or low coolant.
Loud Noises
Your AC can make several different noises to indicate a problem. Hissing can be caused by a refrigerant leak. Clicking could indicate a relay problem. Thumping, rattling, banging, or screeching can point to a compressor, blower, or motor issue. Buzzing can be a sign of faulty electrical components. If you hear any of these sounds, call us to come check it out.
Water Leaks
It’s normal for your air conditioner to leak some water. However, excess water may come from a blocked drain pipe, low coolant, a broken condensate pan, or dirty air filters in your AC.
Rapid Cycling
If your AC is constantly turning on and off, it may be because the thermostat sensor is not in the correct place. It needs to be near the evaporator coil, without touching it, to work properly.
