This summer when you turn on your A/C the final thing that you would like blowing out of your A/C is hot air. Hot air blowing from your air conditioner is merely about as bad as though the community pool was shut down for the summer. Although it isn't quite summer yet, those long hot days are just ahead of us. Rather than sweating it out in your home, check many of these easy problems. Understand how to avoid them, and when to call a professional.1. Dirty Air Filter:Every spring and early summer, make sure that you change out your filter. Assuming you have a maintenance plan together with your local HVAC contractor, they'll ensure that your air-con filter is properly cleaned and installed.A dirty filter can clog your air conditioner's condensing coil with dust and contaminants causing your A/C to freeze up, hence your air conditioning equipment will not be cooling your house properly.2. Outside A/C unit not properly maintained:Go outside and take a look at your outside condenser. It is dirty or covered with debris? Again, having a maintenance plan will make sure that your air conditioning equipment is cleaned properly. Ensuring the condensing coils are cleaned regularly is crucial in proper cooling function of one's A/C.3. Check your thermostat:Check your thermostat and make sure that it really is set on cool. In Colorado we know that the weather can move up and down. One day we might need the A/C on, and the next the heater. If it's on heat, switch is to cool, and you are ready to go.4. Low on Refrigerant or Freon:When an A/C is blowing out heat, a refrigerant or Freon leak is most likely the culprit. If there is ac blowing warm air in the air conditioner chances are to freeze up. It is advisable to leave this up to your local HVAC contractor.
