Solutions & Preventative Measures for Common AC Unit Problems

As it is commonly said, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” But, when it comes to your HVAC unit, how do you keep the need for repairs away?

At Mauzy Heating, Air & Solar, our team is dedicated to helping homeowners prevent the need for air conditioning repairs in San Diego, CA. From stopping small problems from escalating into costly unit repairs, to avoiding common issues from occurring altogether, our team is equipped with the knowledge to help you keep the need for repairs away—all cooling season long.

Common Repair Requests

San Diego residents rely on their AC unit to beat the summer heat. But, no system is indestructible. That means that every unit has the potential to encounter the need for a repair eventually. The extent of the repair, however, relies on when the problem was discovered and how well the AC unit was maintained.

When the Mauzy Heating, Air & Solar team receives a request for an air conditioner repair in San Diego, CA, there are four repair needs that tend to be reported more often than others.

The Need for a Consistent Cool

As you walk from your freezing-cold bedroom to your boiling-hot living room, you notice a significant difference between the rooms’ temperatures—and the immediate need to ditch your heavy sweatshirt. A common problem that homeowners encounter is the complete lack of cooling in their home, or the presence of uneven air distribution from room to room: some rooms appear to be cool, while others remain hot and stuffy.

Well, often, the cause of an inconsistent cool is from the presence of leaky ducts. Having one of Mauzy Heating, Air & Solar’s experts install insulation will stop cool air from leaking out and prevent warm air from sneaking in. Also, our certified technicians will inspect your ducts and other draft-prone areas of your home, in order to find and repair any leakage areas.

The Want to Just Set It & Forget It

From the second you wake up, until the moment you fall asleep, your thermostat’s temperature is consistently changed. It seems as though you’re stuck in a constant battle between the heat and the necessity to meet your family’s immediate cooling needs.

Though it may not be prevalent right away, these constant thermostat adjustments are causing your unit’s parts to be overworked. Yes, all parts will need a replacement, eventually. However, this excessive use wears your system down much faster.

Luckily, there’s a way to eliminate the adjustment hassle and the replacement headache. By installing a programmable thermostat, you’re able to keep your home at a steady temperature—all day long.

The Requirement to Thaw Out the Evaporator Coil

Lately, your AC unit hasn’t been cooling your home efficiently, which has led you to conduct a cooling system investigation. And, it’s just as you suspected: part of your unit is frozen.

After being examined by a certified technician, your unit has come back with a final diagnosis: your evaporator coil has froze, it’s needs to be replaced, and the rest of your unit is going to have to be inspected to ensure that no other parts have been damaged.

Fortunately, calling a Mauzy Heating, Air & Solar expert to replace your air filter every one to three months can prevent your evaporator coil from freezing—and can protect against any other problems that may stem from the freeze out.

The Demand to Free Cool Air

As you place your hand in front of the vents, you notice that your AC system is working diligently to push cool air into your home, yet it’s continuously failing to achieve the desired outcome of its hard work. It seems as if something is in the way and is preventing the cool air from entering your home. So, you come to a conclusion: the air is being blocked.

The best way to avoid blocking airflow from your AC unit is to clean debris and other particles away from the outside portion of your unit. Even more, vacuum your home once a week to rid your home of pet hair and dirt that may lodge its way into your indoor handling unit and prevent cool air from entering your home.

The Plea to Avoid Repairs

Air conditioning units are a large investment. With that being said, adding on the total of costly repairs can make an AC system go from affordable to pricey. But, there is one way to avoid costly repairs and ensure your home never loses its cool: schedule regular air conditioning maintenance. From thorough unit check-ups to seasonal maintenance, Mauzy Heating, Air & Solar performs reliable AC maintenance to ensure you keep your cool—all season long.
