Reasons Why You Need AC Repair Services

Because air conditioners and HVAC systems are common culprits of water damage in the home, it is important to keep up on routine maintenance to prevent them from leaking water all over. In order to know how to care for your air conditioner, you need to know how the air conditioner works. To keep our houses cool, air conditioners use a cold evaporator coil. When warm air comes in contact with this coil, moisture is removed from the air. That moisture collected by the evaporator coil is sent outside of your home, allowing air to cool inside the unit that it pushes back out into your home. Without proper care and repairs, this moisture will build up inside your HVAC system and can cause major water damage inside your home. Some of the most common causes of water leaks from cooling systems that could be prevented by using air conditioner repair services are a clogged drain, frozen evaporator coils, and pipes that are not connected properly. So, how can you ensure that your HVAC system will keep your house cool without creating water damage inside?

Air Conditioner Repair Services In Geneva

1. Change the HVAC filter regularly to prevent the unit from having to work harder than necessary. When the filter gets too dirty, the system requires more energy to pull air in, which can cause the evaporating coils to freeze and then defrost, leading to leaking water inside your home. You should change the filter at least every 3 months, but during those summer months when it is working daily it is good practice to change it every month. 

2.Check your condensation drain lain regularly. You should see water flowing to the drain without obstruction. You can flush the drain once or twice a year with an algaecide to prevent mold or algae from forming inside. If you notice a clog, get it removed and resolved quickly. Check connections on the drain line to be sure that it is tight and there are no leaks.
