Common AC Issues
AC not switching on
The most common cause to an AC unit not switching on is due to an electrical trip. A reset of the electrical switch board would fix this issue.
Should the AC unit still not switch on, the issue could then be due to a faulty indoor regulator, and therefore it is unable to activate the central air system.
In such cases, we would recommend you to contact us, and we will deploy a technician to access and repair the issue for you.
Not cooling properly
Although there are a large variety of factors for this issue, such as external temperature entering your space, a common cause would be from the condensor coil in your AC unit itself. Overtime, it may be clogged with dirt and debris and this would result in the air being unable to be cooled properly.
In such cases, we would recommend you to contact us, and we will deploy a technician to access and repair the issue for you.
COMMON
Issues on Aircon?
AC non-cooling
Should the air emiting from the AC no longer feels cool, a variety of issues may be the cause. It could be a fault in the control board, low gas levels or refrigerant. Note that refrigerant can be toxic to handle by an untrained user.
To ensure your safety, we would recommend you to contact us, and we will deploy a technician to identify and repair the issue for you.
Power supply not coming to AC
Should your AC unit be unable to switch on, you may attempt to reset the electrical switch first. Should the issue persist, it could be a sign of a more serious issue within the unit itself.
To ensure your safety, we would recommend you to contact us, and we will deploy a technician to identify and repair the issue for you.
Sound/Commotion from AC indoor unit
Should an AC unit start to emmit strange noises, it is a sign that something within the unit is faulty. It can range from something as minor as a replacement of filter to something as major as a malfunctioning part.
In such cases, we would recommend you to contact us, and we will deploy a technician to access and repair the issue for you.
Sound from AC outdoor air unit
Should your outdoor AC unit start emmitting noises as soon as you turn it on, it may be a sign of a malfunctioning fan motor.
In such cases, we would recommend you to contact us, and we will deploy a technician to access and repair the issue for you.
AC stopped/breakdown
Most cases of AC breakdown due to filthy air channels. As the air is unable to circulate properly, this would escalate to various other issues within the AC unit, such as solidifying the evaporator curl. This can cause the unit to trip and thus creating a breakdown.
In such cases, we would recommend you to contact us, and we will deploy a technician to access and repair the issue for you.
AC Coil issue
Within your AC unit, there is a part called the condenser coil, which main function is to remove the warm air and converted it into cool air. A faulty coil can result in various issues such as the AC unit blowing uncooled air, leakages, or decrease in energy efficiency.
In such cases, we would recommend you to contact us, and we will deploy a technician to access and repair the issue for you.
AC Indoor Unit fan faulty
Should the Indoor AC Unit’s fan stopped working, it may be due to one of many issues. Such as the breaker tripped, or air channels being blocked. If there is ice condensation on the evaporator coil and refrigerant lines, allow for the ice to melt before checking on the fan’s functionality.
In such cases, we would recommend you to contact us, and we will deploy a technician to access and repair the issue for you.
AC Outdoor Unit fan faulty
Should the Outdoor AC Unit’s fan stopped working, it may be due to a faulty start capacitor. If the capacitor has been replaced and the fan is still not functioning, the issue might then be the fan engine itself.
In such cases, we would recommend you to contact us, and we will deploy a technician to access and repair the issue for you.
Issues with the AC Fan Blades
Over long periods of time, the fan blades are prone to physical damage, such as bending, rusting, or becoming loose in general. This may unintentionally cause internal damages to the unit, which can be devastating. These will require the fan blades to either be resecured or replaced entirely. The Outdoor AC Unit has an exhaust fan to remove the warm. A damaged exhaust fan will cause a loud shrieking noise while the unit is switched on.
In such cases, we would recommend you to contact us, and we will deploy a technician to access and repair the issue for you.
AC Indoor Unit water leakage
Should your Indoor AC unit be leaking, this can be due to a variety of reasons, such as air leak, blocked aircon filter, faulty pump, or a clogged drain line. This calls for a higher priority to have the AC looked at. In most cases, despite it having a chance to be a minor issue.
Certain parts of the AC unit such as the indoor evaporator curl and the suction line are enclosed by a layer of dark protection. Should the protection be damaged or worn out, it can cause leaking.
A large amount of water is transported through the evaporator as it discharges vapour from the air. The condensed water will be transported through the curl into a channel that is then discharged outside as waste.
In such cases, we would recommend you to contact us, and we will deploy a technician to access and repair the issue for you.
Leaking Refrigerant in AC
Should you notice that you are requiring more and more refrigerant with each refill, there might be a possibility of a refrigerant leak. This is to be dealt professionally as refrigerant may be dangerous to the untrained user.
In such cases, we would recommend you to contact us, and we will deploy a technician to access and repair the issue for you.
