Most common Air Conditioning Problems
Finding out something about your air conditioning problem before your Third generation HVAC technician arrives to your home can help you save some time and money. Common issues include the compressor failing to turn on, the air not coming out cool enough, low airflow and water leaks. Here are the top problems that may cause your air conditioning system to break down.
Fuse Box.
The first thing you should do if your air conditioner is performing poorly is to check the fuse box or circuit breaker that services the unit. The fuse may have to be replaced or the circuit breaker reset. Also, if the air conditioner turns on and off frequently, the compressor and fan controls may be deteriorated.
Filters.
The filters may also need to be changed. Clogged, dirty filters stop normal airflow and decrease a system’s efficiency considerably.
Water Leaks.
Leaks are generally associated with low refrigerant or a blocked drain pipe. Blockages could be fixed by clearing out the clogged pipe inside the evaporator coil pan.
Coils.
An icy coil typically suggests an issue with the airflow, which include restrictions caused by grimy air filters or blocked return air ductwork. Frozen coil could be just one of several problems including dirty filter, low air flow, low on freon, or some other causes. Low air flow– Have the coils been cleaned lately? You may also need to clean off the evaporator or condenser coils by brushing them off or vacuuming them.
Low Refrigerant.
Refrigerant (more typically referred to as Freon) is the chemical that cools the air. Low refrigerant may indicate a leak or problem with the refrigerant system. If your system needs to be recharged with refrigerant, usually that means there is a leak. If your unit is turning on, but the air isn’t cooling efficiently, your refrigerant may be low.
Faulty Wiring.
Bad wiring commonly stops the system from getting power, or can trip the circuit breaker. With Faulty installation, even the best energy-efficient unit sacrifices its efficiency when installed incorrectly.
Circulating Air That Does Not Get Cooled.
When you can feel that air coming via the vent is equally as warm as the air outside-there are a couple of possible explanations. Refrigerant may be low. The fuse may need replacing. In an older unit, the fuse and controls may be deteriorated. The majority of air conditioning problems are a result of flawed installation, poor service, and not enough maintenance. Bad wiring, low refrigerant and airflow problems can be detected in the course of routine maintenance tune-ups. In many cases, the only way you can prevent these common problems is by participating in a preventive maintenance program offered by Third Generation Heating and Air Conditioning.

WHAT GOES WRONG WITH AN AIR CONDITIONER IN TEMECULA, CA
| What you notice | What usually causes it | What we check first |
|---|---|---|
| Unit will not start, or cools poorly | A blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker on the unit | Check the fuse box or breaker that serves the unit, then replace the fuse or reset the breaker |
| Air conditioner turns on and off frequently | Deteriorated compressor and fan controls | Inspect the compressor and fan controls |
| Weak airflow from the vents | Clogged, dirty filters stopping normal airflow | Change the filters, because dirty ones cut airflow and efficiency considerably |
| Water around the indoor unit | Low refrigerant or a blocked drain pipe | Clear the clogged pipe inside the evaporator coil pan and check the refrigerant |
| Ice on the coil | Restricted airflow from grimy filters or blocked return air ductwork | Trace the restriction, then check for a dirty filter, low airflow or low refrigerant |
| System loses power or trips the breaker | Bad wiring, or an incorrect installation | Inspect the wiring at the unit and how the system was installed |
| Air from the vent is as warm as the air outside | Refrigerant may be low, which usually points to a leak | Test the refrigerant charge and find the leak before recharging |

TEMECULA, CA AIR CONDITIONING REPAIR FAQS
Why is my Temecula air conditioner blowing air that is as warm as the air outside?
Most often the refrigerant is low, and low refrigerant usually means there is a leak somewhere in the system. Topping it up without finding the leak only buys a few weeks, so we test the charge, trace the leak and quote the repair before recharging.
Should I check anything myself before booking an air conditioning repair in Temecula, CA?
Two things are worth a look. Check the fuse box or the circuit breaker that serves the unit, because a blown fuse or a tripped breaker stops the system dead, and check the filter, because a clogged, dirty filter stops normal airflow and drags efficiency down. If both are fine, book the call.
There is water pooling around my indoor unit. What causes it?
Leaks are generally associated with low refrigerant or a blocked drain pipe. A blockage can usually be cleared out of the clogged pipe inside the evaporator coil pan, and we check the refrigerant at the same visit so the same fault does not come back.
Why does ice form on the coil?
An icy coil normally points to an airflow restriction, such as grimy air filters or blocked return air ductwork. A frozen coil can also come from low airflow or low refrigerant, and the coils themselves may simply need brushing or vacuuming off.
My air conditioner keeps switching on and off. Is that the thermostat?
It can be, but frequent cycling also comes from deteriorated compressor and fan controls, so we test those as well. Thermostat installation is work we do, so if the control turns out to be the fault it is replaced on the same call.
Does Third Gen HVAC charge extra for nights and weekends in Temecula?
No. Temecula is home, so air conditioning and heating service runs 24/7 with no weekend charges and no overtime charges.
Do you do more than repairs on an air conditioning system?
Yes. Alongside repair and maintenance we handle installation, thermostat installation, air handler repair and zoning system installation, and we service, install and repair American Standard, Trane, Carrier, Goodman, Coleman, Rheem, Lennox, Payne, Comfort Maker and Amana equipment.
