What Causes Air Conditioners To Break?
Your air conditioner is a complex system comprised of a compressor, a condenser coil, and an evaporator coil. With prolonged use, these inner motors experience natural degradation.
When your AC becomes less reliable, it could indicate issues with your components, clogged air filters, or a low refrigerant level. Regular AC maintenance or repair can prevent these issues by delaying their onset.

When kept in top condition, your unit performs better for longer.

Sometimes, repairs are a less valuable investment, especially for a unit that’s between 10 and 15 years old. If the repair costs over 50% of the unit’s value, it may be time to consider a replacement. If you’re ready to upgrade your air conditioner, Signature HVAC can install a new system.

FAQs
How can I maintain my AC year-round?
Homeowners can preserve the effectiveness of their AC by replacing air filters every three months. It’s also essential to clean dust and debris from the unit and run a test cycle before the hot summers. Scheduling professional AC tune-ups once a year goes a long way, too.
What do you consider an air conditioning emergency?
Burning smells when you turn on your unit, tripping breakers, or refrigerant leaks all qualify as an emergency. We’ll also step in for emergency repairs if your AC breaks down on a stifling hot day.
Can I fix my air conditioner myself?
We recommend hiring a professional for any repairs your system needs. Improper repairs can damage the system and void any system warranties.
What happens if I neglect service on my air conditioner?
Falling behind on AC maintenance can diminish system efficiency and performance. It can also increase wear and tear on components and increase the risk of sudden failure. The longer you neglect maintenance, the more damage can occur, which can shorten your system’s lifespan.
Is it better to replace rather than repair an old air conditioner?
It depends on the system. A well-maintained AC can provide reliable comfort for 10 to 15 years. If you have an older system or your system’s repairs exceed 50% of the replacement cost, replacement may be the most cost-effective option.
How can I tell if my AC has an active warranty?
In general, most systems less than five years old have some warranty coverage. If you’ve lost your paperwork, you may contact the manufacturer and provide them with the serial number. They can look up your specific unit to tell you whether it’s covered and what coverage is available.
Is bigger better when it comes to air conditioners?
Not at all. You want a perfectly sized system for your home and the size of your ducts. If your air conditioner is too small, it will struggle to keep you comfortable and wear out prematurely. If it’s too large, it won’t deliver the energy-efficient operation you need.
Should I cover my air conditioner in winter?
We don’t recommend doing this. If you cover your air conditioner, you’ll reduce airflow, facilitating mold and mildew growth.
Why is my circuit breaker tripping?
One of the most common causes of AC circuit breaker trips is when a sufficient electrical current isn’t available for the unit. If you’ve reset your breaker and it keeps tripping, a certified HVAC specialist can inspect your system and determine the cause.
