When they think about an air conditioning service, Perth residents may only consider calling us at Air Spares when their system stops working. This is not the best way to keep your AC system working well, and if it gets this far, it could be something serious. In fact, there are often many warning signs to look out for; your AC system can let you know that something is wrong and this can be useful when you call for help. If your AC technician has a good idea what’s wrong in advance, it can really speed up the service and repair process. In this article, we will look at three key tips that will help you to diagnose your AC system at a very basic level.

1. Is This an Ongoing or New Problem?

This is a key question and answering this accurately can really help a technician to diagnose your problem quickly, even over the phone. The answer to this question can really help you to get down to the root of the problem in order to get it fixed. A sudden problem could be caused by part failures, such as an electrical problem, a wiring issue or a thermostat failure. When the problem is ongoing over a prolonged period of time, it could be caused by issues, such as an outdoor compressor blockage or a coolant leak that has led to a lack of refrigerant. An experienced technician will have a good idea about the problem simply based on how long it has taken for this problem to affect the effectiveness and efficiency of your AC system.

2. Do These Problems Occur After the AC System Starts Up?

Sometimes, the AC system seems to be operating as intended by the manufacturer, but under the surface, there is something else going on, and it affects the performance. For the layman this may be hard to put into words, perhaps the AC system is starting to make a noise that it’s never made before? Maybe the air conditioner isn’t delivering the cooling or heating performance that it used to? These and other odd behaviours could be indicative of an underlying issue that is getting progressively worse. An AC system is a complex piece of equipment with electrical, mechanical and electronic components that all need to work in harmony together. When one of these parts begins to fail, it can affect the other components in a number of different ways. Explaining this odd behaviour to a professional HVAC technician will give them vital clues about what may be wrong in your AC system.

3. Does Your AC System Fail to Start at All?

If your AC system cannot start at all, this can be quickly narrowed down to some kind of electrical issue. Failed wiring, shorts and chewing by rodents can all cause electrical issues that will interrupt the power supply to your air conditioning system. Another possible cause could be a problem with your thermostat unit. The thermostat needs to send a signal to the air conditioner when it requires the system to start cooling or heating. If the thermostat develops a fault, this signal isn’t sent, and this will prevent the required ignition.
