During the summertime, all of us depend on our air conditioning systems to keep us comfortable through scorching temperatures. When you encounter a problem with your AC, it can leave you feeling miserably hot. While there are a quite a few problems that can arise with an AC unit, there are some that show up more than others. Knowing what these problems are can be helpful when trying to diagnose a problem with your AC system. Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning is here to talk about some of the most common AC issues that we see every summer.

Why is My AC Not Cooling Well on Hot Days?

Following are some of the most common AC issues that homeowners deal with each summer:
– Refrigerant Leaks: If you have noticed that there is some ice building up on the unit, a problem you could be dealing with is a refrigerant leak. When your unit gets old, this is a common problem. If your refrigerant is low, it is due to a leak as this is something that is found in a closed system inside the unit and shouldn’t ever run out. Some refrigerant leaks are repairable while others aren’t. Refrigerant leaks are often a sign of an aging unit that isn’t too far from replacement.
– AC Draining Problems: To cool your home, your AC unit will also remove the humidity from the air to effectively help cool things off. When this moisture is removed from the air, it has to be drained away from the unit. This part of your system is called the condensate drain. If the water isn’t able to effectively move down this drain, moisture builds up and can cause big problems for the electrical components of your system. Often, if you have a clogged condensate drain, the unit will pulse when it’s trying to kick on because of the moisture.
– AC Electrical Failures: There are several electrical components that play a role in keeping your unit running. Whether you’re dealing with a blown fuse, tripped breaker or faulty wiring, your unit isn’t going to run if the electrical components that make it run are broken. Electrical issues can put your home at risk of an electrical fire as well, so it is vital that you deal with any electrical problems right away. You shouldn’t always leave these issues up to the professionals as well.
– Broken Condenser Fan: The condenser fan in your unit is responsible for removing the heat from the air in your home. If the fan is broken, you will find yourself uncomfortable.
