Common Equipment Defects
Our specialists identify and fix routine climate control issues to bring back your domestic comfort with total speed.
-
Electrical Control Failures: Worn-out contactors or faulty wiring can cause the compressor or fan to fail to start
Low or No Refrigerant: Often a sign of a leak, causing poor cooling with ice buildup on lines, and increased energy bills
Problems with the compressor or fan motor that stop airflow at the source.
Faulty Capacitors: Capacitors, which provide the jolt to start motors, are common failure points. A humming noise with a fan that won't start often indicates a dead capacitor
Clogged Drain Lines: The AC condensate drain line can become clogged with algae or dirt, causing the pan to overflow and the system to shut down due to a safety switch.
Broken Fan Motors: If the indoor blower or outdoor fan motor wears out, it can lead to poor airflow, warm air from the vents, or a total system shutdown.
Frozen Evaporator Coils: Caused by dirty filters or low refrigerant, ice can build up on the indoor coil, requiring a professional to address the underlying issue.
Thermostat Issues: A malfunctioning, incorrectly set, or uncalibrated thermostat can prevent the heater from starting or cause inconsistent temperatures.
Ignition/Pilot Light Problems: A faulty pilot light or ignition system (igniter) prevents the burner from lighting.
Dirty Flame Sensor: A dirty sensor can cause the furnace to shut down almost immediately after turning on.
Blower Motor Malfunctions: Worn-out belts or bearings in the blower motor can cause loud noises (squealing, grinding) and poor airflow.
Short-Cycling: When a furnace frequently turns on and off, it may indicate a malfunctioning limit switch, improper airflow, or a faulty thermostat.
