subject: Diy Fairfield Heating And Cooling Repair [print this page] If you are confident in your knowledge and your ability to perform some DIY Fairfield heating and air conditioning repair, there are still a few things you need to keep in mind before you begin. Usually, problems with units consist of the unit not turning on, cooling capacity being reduced, air flow being lost or some malfunction of the internal components of the system. Usually, common components that have to be replaced are the air compressors, the condensers, defective air handling units, air leaks or defects in the ducts running through the building.
If your air conditioner does not start, first you will want to look at the thermostat, the controls and the switches. Most of the problems with these units are due to some electrical malfunction. Make sure that the circuit breaker is properly functioning, too. After that, you need to check the air handling unit, which comprises the return air plenum, the blower fan, cooling and heating coil, air filter and the supply plenum. Again, check circuit breakers for the compressors and the air handling units.
If your Fairfield heating and cooling problem is not yet resolved, you will need to check the return air ducts and the supply air ducts as well as your filters to make sure they are carrying air from the air handler to the different rooms in the house or building. Many times there is a broken duct that needs replacing or the air filter is even clogged.
When your conditioner unit works but the air coming out is not cold, you will have to check your blower unit. If you find that it is dirty, you need to clean it and this will more than likely fix the problem. When it is dirty it causes a loss of cool air supply. A Fairfield heating and cooling professional will tell you that the reduced cooling could also be due to aged or old air compressors, which would have to be replaced.
Unfortunately, if you or a Fairfield heating and cooling specialist finds that you need to replace your air compressor, this is costly and it would end up being an expensive repair. There are so many other things that can reduce a units cooling effect, even if the condensate from the air conditioner is not being drained properly or there are leaks in the air handler. Also, damaged air ducts or problems with your refrigerant system can also cause Fairfield heating and cooling problems that might call for some professional repair.
