As the calendar rolls forward and the mercury begins to rise, air conditioning repair and maintenance should be at the top of everyone’s to do list. Inefficient central air conditioning systems can result in higher energy bills for you, and create unnecessary strains upon city power grids. And the result of greater energy consumption is smog and pollution, both of which are already in abundant supply. In addition to an inflated utility bill, the symptoms of a failing A/C unit may also include: no blowing or cooling of air, constant running of the air conditioning system and erupting noise when the unit is operating. These symptoms may occur either singularly or in conjunction with one another. However, it is important to be mindful and monitor the performance of your cooling system, when and if any of the aforementioned signs of compromise should present themselves.

When you do not feel any chill in the air blowing from your vents, you may be facing a frozen line somewhere between your fan and the unit’s compressor. It may also be indicative of fallen coolant pressure, filter obstructions and wiring issues. ...
... When you do not feel any air blowing from the vents, you may be looking at an issue related to the blower, or the coil in the outside unit. If your system is running constantly, it may be an indication that your unit is not large enough to support the cooling of the area you are attempting to condition. It may also indicate a failure in the temperature gauge. Noises erupting from your unit can be indicative of a myriad set of issues that include a loosening of the wire connections, the malfunction of the “contactor” or even the loosening of the fan itself.

Each and any of the above issues should be addressed at the onset of their symptoms. As the summer sun begins to shine down upon the metropolitan areas of New Jersey, with their concrete and black top surfaces, temperatures will begin to skyrocket. Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are real threats, as are dehydration and heat strokes. The best approach to solving your central air conditioning dilemma is to take the time to test your system prior to the onset of the summer season and address any air conditioning repair needs before the unit is needed. Performing regularly scheduled inspections and maintenance procedures can save you time, money and hassle in the long run.
