How Can You Troubleshoot Common AC Problems in Los Angeles?

Ordinarily, your AC will simply turn on and off as needed, thanks to the settings you program into your thermostat. It should provide worry-free operation for many years after installation. However, you may not know the history of your air conditioning system before you moved into your home.

Before you contact Greenstar Home Services/RighTime Home Services for help with your air conditioning system, it would be a good idea to do some basic troubleshooting to help identify what’s wrong.

Here are tips on how you can troubleshoot common AC problems:

See if the Air Filter Is Clogged

Often, the only issue with an AC is that the air filter is dirty. Depending on the manufacturer and type of filter system you have, you might need to clean filters or replace disposable filters periodically.

A dirty filter can result in ice building up on the refrigerant conduits and lead to reduced air flow to the point that the system potentially fails.

Check Your Thermostat Settings

It’s quite possible that the problem has to do with the thermostat. Maybe someone has changed the thermostat settings and forgotten to tell you. Perhaps you accidentally activated the “heat” instead of “cool” function. If you have an older thermostat, it might run on batteries that need to be replaced periodically.

Check your thermostat for any of these issues, and hopefully you’ll be right as rain!

Double-Check the Circuit Breaker Box

Maybe your air conditioner isn’t activating because its circuit breaker has tripped. A quick trip to the circuit breaker box will show you if this is the case.

If your breakers aren’t labeled, see if any of them are in the “OFF” position. Ideally, though, you will find a breaker labeled “AC” or “HVAC,” “central air” or “air conditioner.” Flipping the breaker back on should let you run the AC once more.

Check the Air Vents

You might be experiencing uneven cooling from room to room if your air vents are clogged. Examine your vents. If they are filled with dirt and dust, it’s time to bring in professional duct cleaners to remedy the situation. Then, your AC should be able to reliably deliver cooled air.

Look at the Exterior Equipment

Check the exterior AC condenser. If it is covered with dirt, rinse it off with a garden hose. The same goes for any twigs, debris or other material that you might need to clean from the vents.

Otherwise, your system will have to work harder to achieve the same rate of cooling, and this can cause premature wear and tear of components.

What Is the Climate of Orange County, CA?

As Irvine AC repair experts with years of experience in Southern California, our technicians are well acquainted with the Orange County, CA climate. We can certainly sympathize when your AC isn’t blowing cold air.

While the average snowfall in the U.S. is 28 inches per year, Orange County averages 0 inches. While the country receives 205 sunny days on average, Orange County residents enjoy an average of 278 sunny days each year.

It can get quite hot, with the high in July reaching about 83 degrees F and about 85 degrees in August, the hottest month. You can also expect at least eight days when the thermometer exceeds 90 degrees.

Why Is it Important to Have Working AC in California?

Given that Southern California has such a dry and hot environment for much of the year, it’s crucial that homeowners have an air conditioner on which they can rely. So, if you have been having problems with your air conditioner, the professionals at Greenstar Home Services/RighTime Home Services are standing by to make all needed repairs.

Here are the main reasons it’s important that you have a working air conditioner:

Avoid Heat Stroke

Without a dependable air conditioning system, your family can grow dangerously dehydrated and suffer from overheating. Your body loses a lot of water through sweat and may become dehydrated before you notice. Plus, excessive heat without AC can also lead to heat stroke.

Improve Indoor Air Quality

Running your AC regularly and replacing the equipment’s filter per the instructions should help improve your home’s indoor air quality.

Get Better Sleep

When you come home after a long, stressful day at school or work, you will likely want the home environment to be as comfortable as possible. However, if your bedroom is too warm and humid at night, it can be difficult to fall and remain asleep.

A cool, dark room is ideal for good slumber, making a working AC a necessity for Southern California residents.

Lower the Humidity Level

High humidity is a fact of life, especially with the high heat that so often plagues Southern California. It can make you feel uncomfortable, since perspiration doesn’t work as efficiently to cool you down when the air itself is already saturated with moisture. Running your AC helps curb humidity.

Minimize the Growth of Mold

Mold spores can be hazardous to your health. Because mold thrives in damp, warm environments, it can spread in your home if your family does not have a working air conditioner. The AC helps dry the air inside your dwelling, so mold won’t have a chance to gain a foothold.
