When it turned on my air conditioner for the first time this Spring, I noticed that I had a problem.
Although the component was on almost all of the time, the home wasn’t getting really cool.
I looked up what might be the issue online plus found everything from it just needing more liquid in the compressor lines to possibly needing a whole new unit, then of course, I jumped to the worst case scenario plus called an Heating & Air Conditioning company plus had them send out a worker immediately. I followed the technical around as he ran tests on everything. Then he went under the home while I waited outside. When he crawled out from under the home he informed me that my ventilation ducts were leaking badly. I hadn’t found that opportunity when I had researched the issue myself so he explained it to me. Apparently there are a series of large pipes that channel the cool air from the air conditioner to the my floor vents. These pipes are attached with screws, tape, plus rubber. As the home shifts plus settles plus ages, these pipes can become separated. The specialist said he just had to go back under plus seal up the air duct plus maybe update some of it. He said that this concern has actually been there for years plus I just noticed it now. But that once the ducts were sealed up, I would notice a big change in the production of my air conditioner. He wasn’t lying, once he was done, it felt like I had a brand new system.
