Uneven airflow and poor energy efficiency in your West Palm Beach, FL, home are more than an annoyance. When one room is warmer or cooler than the rest of your home, your air conditioning system likely needs maintenance or repair service. Here are the primary reasons for your HVAC system’s airflow and energy efficiency issues:
Dirty Condenser Coils
Your air conditioner’s condenser coils release the heat pulled from indoors, which is an essential aspect of the cooling process. The coils are components of the outdoor unit, and their exposure to the elements leads to a buildup of filth. This results in reduced AC system performance, but it’s preventable with regular maintenance.
Low Refrigerant Level
Refrigerant’s role in your air conditioning system is to cool air through a heat transfer process. When the refrigerant level is low, the AC system is less effective at cooling your home. Common causes of low refrigerant levels that require professional AC repair service include leaks, faulty valves and evaporator coil issues.
Blocked Air Vents
The cooled air that flows through your ducts and vents must enter the rooms freely to maintain an even temperature in the home. This also plays a key role in energy efficiency. When you block a vent, you might have manually adjusted the position of the vents or placed furniture too close to them.
Ductwork Issues
Your ducts carry air from the AC system into your living space. Damage to the air ducts minimizes or entirely impairs the functionality of the ducts. Damage may include leaks and or bent ducts.
If your air conditioner isn’t evenly maintaining all your rooms at the desired temperature, professional diagnostics and AC repair services are the answer. To schedule air conditioning service for your home, contact the expert team at Temperature Control Solutions today.
