Ducted Air Conditioning Repair
Ducted air con issues often stem from neglect, improper setup, or extreme weather. Common problems include dirty ducts or filters, blocked airflow, incorrectly sized systems leading to inefficiency or energy wastage, and poor insulation causing leaks and reduced airflow.
At Alfa Air, our experienced team, armed with top-grade tools, excels in tackling these challenges. No problem is too daunting for us to solve.
Signs Your Air Conditioner Needs A Repair
- Warm Air: If your air conditioner produces warm or hot air rather than cool air, there could be a problem with the compressor or refrigerant levels.
- Weak Airflow: Insufficient airflow could be caused by a defective fan or a blocked air filter. Reduced airflow might lead to poor cooling performance.
- Strange Noises: Sounds like grinding, screeching, or banging could signal a problem with the motor, fan blades, or another internal component.
- Unpleasant Odours: When the air conditioner is running, foul odours may indicate mould, mildew, or a ducting problem. This must be addressed as soon as possible in order to improve indoor air quality.
- Leaking Water: Water or refrigerant leaks near the unit may signal a faulty condensate drain, frozen evaporator coils, or other problems that require attention.
- High Humidity Levels: If your air conditioner isn’t efficiently eliminating humidity from the air, it could be due to a faulty component, like the compressor or cooling system.
- Frequent Cycling: An air conditioner that turns on and off frequently, also known as brief cycling, may be having problems with the thermostat, refrigerant levels, or the compressor.
- Increased Energy Costs: A sudden increase in energy costs without a commensurate increase in usage may indicate that your air conditioner is inefficient or malfunctioning.
- Thermostat Issues: Inaccurate temperature readings or an unresponsive thermostat could indicate a problem with the thermostat or the wiring that connects it to the AC unit.
- Ice Formation: Ice formation on the evaporator coils or refrigerant lines may signal problems with airflow, refrigerant levels, or other components, resulting in decreased efficiency.
