There are basically four categories that all air conditioner breakdowns fall into, and depending on the age, location, and condition or your air conditioner, you may be able to figure out which category your broken air conditioner falls into. Climate Design Systems can repair or replace your system no matter the cause of its problem.
Four Categories of Air Conditioner Breakdowns:
Lack of Maintenance: About 90% of air conditioner breakdowns are caused by lack of maintenance. Dirt, debris, and other contaminants are like a disease for your air conditioner, and if you are not having them cleaned out regularly, this is probably the source of your breakdown. Although it is most common, it is also the most preventable type of breakdown. A simple, low cost tune-up from Climate Design Systems every year will keep your system functioning for years to come.
Old Age: Homeowners that take good care of their air conditioners will often get a good 15 to 20 years worth of comfort out of them. The reason why these systems ultimately fail is because of old age. The parts in the system can only function for so long before they need to be replaced, and if your system is at its age limit, replacement is often cheaper than trying to salvage the old unit with new parts.
Improper Use: Improper use of the air conditioner also leads to part breakdown. If you use the air conditioner when it is too cold outside, you are likely to cause damage to its components. If your system is undersized or oversized for your home, it will also fail prematurely and need replacement.
Physical Damage: Physical damage can be caused by anything from a lawnmower to a fallen tree. These are not as common of problems, but when they happen, they often lead to major repairs or replacement of the system.
