A broken air conditioner<\/a> is a stressful situation, especially since you\u2019re considering whether you need a Paramus AC\u00a0professional<\/a> to come out. No one likes spending money to have a professional take a look at their system, so before you call anyone, make sure to check these problems. You may be able to fix the problem on your own without spending a dime.<\/p>\n

Thermostat<\/h3>\n

The thermostat<\/a> is one of the most common problems you\u2019ll have with an air conditioner.\u00a0 Make sure the thermostat wasn\u2019t knocked out of position and the sensors near your coils are in the right place. Often times, a bumped sensor or a slightly off thermostat can cause this kind of problem and as a result, you\u2019ll be left without steady cooling.<\/p>\n

Check Your Filters<\/h3>\n

Another common problem that can cause issues with your air conditioner is filter clogging. While the system will continue to run with a clogged filter, there are a few issues that might pop up \u2013 it could smell funny or you might notice icing on the outside line (a major problem). If you allow the filter to get so clogged as to block the air flow from your system, you can expect a number of problems to crop up.<\/p>\n

Blower Belts<\/h3>\n

Check the system\u2019s blower belt for damage like cracking, excess slack or general wear. A blower belt that isn\u2019t properly installed or that needs to be replaced will reduce air flow which can result in ice buildup or poor air flow \u2013 it will make it harder for your system to maintain a steady temperature.<\/p>\n

Check the Outdoor Unit<\/h3>\n

Check to make sure nothing is blocking the outdoor unit. Clean the condenser coils and remove any debris that might have built up around the outdoor unit. Often, slowed air flow is caused by nothing more than leaves piled in front of your condenser.<\/p>\n

If none of these problems is the culprit or if you fix them all and your system continues to struggle, it is time to call a\u00a0Paramus AC\u00a0professional<\/a>\u00a0like\u00a0DB Heating & Cooling<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
