What if your AC is broken?
Here you need to depend on the expertise of an AC technician or provider to set things right. Though you can try out the first aid, there is always the chance that your unit may break down.
Some of the common repairs that our Air Conditioning technicians see include:
- Frozen Condenser Coils – When the condenser coil freeze up, the unit fail to function properly. The condenser freeze-up is caused due to the hindrance of airflow or the low refrigerant level.
- Leaking Refrigerant – Refrigerant is what the AC unit use to cool the air that is being circulated. If there is a significant drop in the level of refrigerant, the cooling will not happen. If you see any liquid on the ground, it may be the leaking refrigerant. You can get the help from a licensed technician who can fill the refrigerant to solve this problem.
- Broken Thermostat – A faulty thermostat can cause multiple problems. It leaves you in a situation where you can’t regulate the temperature when you would like. Seeking the help of a professional will be the best option.

This leads to overheating of the compressor and that lead to automatic shut down of the system.
