Your HVAC system is crucial to keeping your home comfortable, which is why any homeowner who has experienced deficiencies with their heating or air conditioning knows how frustrating a problem can be. Freedom Heating and Cooling are your local experts for all your HVAC repair needs, and we can help you understand what the best options for your home are.
AC Repairs
Unfortunately, your air conditioning system is most likely to let you down when it is being used the most, which is at the peak of summer temperatures.
Common repair issues with cooling systems include:
- Capacitors
- Refrigerant
- Evaporator Coils
- Circuit Boards
- Thermostats
- And More…
Repairing or replacing faulty components will commonly get your cooling system back up and running and have you and your family back in the comfort zone.
Older Cooling Systems May Need More Frequent Service
Older AC systems use a legacy refrigerant that is no longer made, R22. These systems are old enough that they commonly have leaks in the refrigerant lines and will need to be refilled regularly.
Other components like capacitors have a definite lifespan as well, and when they wear out, they will need to be replaced.
Furnace Repairs
Home heating systems come in many shapes and sizes and are often more vital to the health of your home than the AC. This recent winter, where temperatures reached record lows, helped us recognize how important it can be to maintain enough heat in the house to keep our plumbing from freezing.
Like your AC, you want your heater to work when you need it, and therefore heating repairs are an urgent matter. Common issues for heating repair are:
- Furnace Jets
- Heating Elements
- Circuit Boards
- Electrical Connections
- Igniters
- Pilot Lights
- Thermostats
The good news is most furnaces can be repaired with the help of a licensed professional technician and their tools.
Maintaining Your HVAC System
Given how vital your HVAC is to the comfort and well-being of your home, regular service and inspections are an investment instead of an expense. Regular maintenance by a licensed professional will often help you make smaller, less expensive repairs before they become more significant problems with bigger headaches.
Likewise, the better you maintain your HVAC system, the more likely it will function well beyond its intended lifespan. Saving you from a premature and expensive replacement. Some things you can do to help maintain your HVAC;
- Change Air Filters Monthly
- Flush Condensation Drains Regularly
- Inspect Condensation Lines For Leaks
- Clean And Flush Debris From AC Condensers (the big box with the fan outside)
- Replace Refrigerant Line Insulation When Needed
The more you help your HVAC system the more it will help you and your home.
