Air Conditioner Issues? We’re Here to Help!

Is your air conditioner running constantly? That’s frustrating! Several reasons could be causing this issue. Here are a few possible explanations:

1. Dirty Air Filter: A dirty air filter can make your air conditioner work harder, causing it to run constantly. Try replacing the air filter to see if that helps.

   • How to Check the Air Filter: The location of the air filter can vary depending on the type and model of your air conditioner. However, most air filters are located in the indoor unit, behind a panel or grille. To locate the filter, turn off the power to the air conditioner and remove the panel or grille covering the indoor unit. The filter may slide out or be held in place by tabs or screws. If it is dirty or clogged, replace the filter to improve airflow and efficiency.

2. Thermostat Set Too Low: If the thermostat is set too low, the air conditioner will keep running in an effort to reach the desired temperature. Try raising the thermostat a few degrees to see if that helps.

   • Ideal Temperature Settings: The most common temperature setting for air conditioners is between 72 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit. Lowering the temperature below 72 degrees can cause the air conditioner to work harder and consume more energy, leading to higher energy bills and potential breakdowns.

3. Unit Too Small for the Space: If the air conditioner is too small for the space it’s trying to cool, it may run constantly. Consider upgrading to a larger unit if this is the case.

4. Low on Refrigerant: If the air conditioner is low on refrigerant, it may run constantly as it struggles to cool the space. In this case, you’ll need to call a professional to add more refrigerant to the system.

5. Old and Inefficient Unit: If your air conditioner is old and inefficient, it may run constantly. Consider upgrading to a newer, more energy-efficient model to save on energy bills.

Other Common AC Issues

• AC Not Turning On: Several reasons could cause your AC not to start. It could be a problem with the power supply or a malfunctioning component within the AC unit. Common issues include a faulty thermostat, a malfunctioning motor, a clogged air filter, a refrigerant leak, or a blown fuse or circuit breaker. Check to ensure the AC is properly plugged in and that the circuit breaker hasn’t been tripped. If these are in order, call us to diagnose and fix the problem.
