Many things can go wrong with your HVAC system. However, some issues occur more frequently than others. Here’s a look at the HVAC repairs that Dayton homeowners commonly need.
Thermostat Issues
If you’ve set your thermostat correctly but your HVAC system isn’t heating or cooling your home as needed, you may have a malfunctioning thermostat. Your thermostat may be failing to send the right signals to your heating or cooling unit. You may need to have it cleaned, recalibrated, or replaced.
Wear and Tear
When HVAC components run for a long time, they suffer wear and tear. When you have a few components nearing the end of their life span, they may slow down the entire system. Keep in mind that regular HVAC maintenance is essential for extending the life of heating and cooling components.
Leaks
Your HVAC system could leak condensate or fluid for various reasons, such as a clogged condensate line or a piece to a drain or pipe that’s broken. If a clog is to blame, you could follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to fix it. If you’re unsure about how to go about fixing the leak, contact an HVAC professional as soon as possible to prevent damage to your home and belongings.
Uneven Temperatures
Is one part of your home colder or warmer than other rooms? You could be having a significant HVAC issue. A call to a technician for HVAC repairs may help you get to the root of the problem and solve it.
Strange Noises
Your air conditioner or furnace may make loud, unusual noises that indicate a problem with its mechanics. A failing compressor, a defective belt, or a malfunctioning motor or fan are some possible causes of weird HVAC noises. You’ll need to contact a professional to diagnose and correct the issue.
Remember that putting off even minor HVAC repairs could allow a problem to become bigger and more expensive to fix. If you need HVAC repairs or maintenance in the Dayton area, contact us at Ace Hardware Home Services, and we’ll be happy to assist you.
