Summers in Indiana are hot, humid, and muggy, so homeowners in the Midwest often run their air conditioners continuously to escape the heat. Pay attention to abnormal system functions and act quickly to avoid a breakdown. A licensed HVAC technician from Korte Does It All can repair or prevent the following common AC issues:

1) Air Conditioner Is Not Working at All

When your air conditioning unit unexpectedly shuts down with no warning, you can do a few things to troubleshoot and fix the problem. First, check your thermostat batteries; if they’re dead, replace them. Confirm that the thermostat is set to “cooling” and the desired temperature. You may need to reset the AC’s circuit breaker if all else fails. Still need help? Contact your trusted Korte Does It All technicians to take a look!

2) Warm Air From Your Air Conditioner

Your system’s refrigerant is responsible for absorbing the heat from the environment and converting it into cool air to keep your house at a comfortable temperature. If your AC blows warm air, make sure your thermostat is set to COOL with the fan on AUTO. If the problem continues, it’s likely a refrigerant issue. Low refrigerant means low cooling ability. A Korte Does It All technician can measure your system’s refrigerant level, check for any repairs and leaks, and top it off for peak cooling performance.

3) Leaky Air Conditioner

It’s normal for your AC unit to have a certain amount of fluid and condensation, but excessive leaking indicates several problems. The condensate line can easily become clogged with mold or debris, and the drain line can back up and flood the home, especially if the drip pan is cracked.

If you can’t find your AC’s manual or if pieces of the unit are broken instead of clogged, it’s time to call a vetted, licensed professional at Korte Does It All who can fix it before flood damage occurs.

4) Loud AC Operation

Loud or unusual sounds coming from a running air conditioner indicate a problem. Screeching and squealing noises may mean a faulty belt while rattling sounds are often issues with fans, motors, or compressors. Whether your unit has loose or broken parts, it’s best to have a thorough inspection performed by Korte Does It All to determine the issue and provide fast and reliable AC repairs to get your unit back to normal.

5) Dust Buildup

If your air conditioner isn’t keeping you comfortable, there may be dust buildup in the unit. With dirty components and clogged air filters, your system must work harder to pull in air and cool your home. The best way to prevent this issue is with routine AC maintenance by Korte Does It All. Our experts thoroughly clean key components during these tune-ups to remove dust and debris. You can help keep your unit clean by changing your air filter every one to three months.
