Your HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system is your home-based climate control system. This system is responsible for managing the temperature and humidity level of your interior air. The furnace, heat exchanger, condensing unit, evaporator coil, thermostat, refrigerant lines, ducts, and vents should all be in good working condition for this system to produce breathable. When this system is defective, try to perform basic HVAC Repair in Chesterfield MO. This will allow you to avoid costly repairs and get your system working promptly.
Before you attempt any repairs, locate the condensing unit and the evaporator coil. The condensing unit is outside your home. It’s usually placed on a level surface like a slab concrete. The evaporator coil is secured to the top or side of the furnace inside your home. Ensure that you only perform basic HVAC Repair in Chesterfield MO when there is not adverse weather conditions.
If your condensing unit is not working, check for access to power. Look at your main entrance panel. Both circuit breakers should be in the “on” position. Reset them if either tripped. When this does not work, test the thermostat setting. Lower it by 5 degrees. Wait a few moments for the condenser to start. Repeat this step twice. You may need to call an HVAC contractor if this fails to start your condenser.
If your HVAC unit is working but not cooling properly, lower the thermostat by a few degrees. Wait a few moments. Repeat this step until you lower the thermostat past the temperature of your home. Clean the condensing unit. Use a fin comb to remove grime and debris from in between the fins. Use an industrial coil cleaner to clean the condenser coil. It’s also a good idea to clean the evaporator coil. Use a stiff brush to clean all sides, being careful not to dislodge attached pipes. When this does not cause the system to cool the air, it may time to call a professional.
Attempting basic repairs will enable you to get your system working quickly. It will also help you save money. For more information on HVAC services, please contact a professional at Courtney’s Heating and Cooling. This company can handle residential and commercial HVAC services.
