air conditioning repair in Katy, TX<\/a>. We\u2019re always glad to help our customers, but we also want them to avoid trouble with a broken AC in the first place. There\u2019s no way to stop all AC \u201cno cool\u201d emergencies, but you can prevent the majority of them with some planning and a bit of help from us.<\/p>\nAlways Have the AC Inspected and Tuned-Up Before Summer<\/h2>\n
This is the most important step toward a trouble-free summer with your air conditioner. The hot weather puts tremendous strain on a cooling system, and the heat can strike almost any time of the year. Taking time in spring to schedule maintenance to inspect and tune-up your home\u2019s AC relieves most of this strain. During the inspection, our technician will locate potential problem spots or places where a smaller repair can head off a bigger one. The tune-up part of maintenance reduces the wear and tear that can also lead to a \u201cno cool\u201d problem.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t Force the AC to Overwork With Low Thermostat Settings<\/h2>\n
Any machine that\u2019s pushed to its limit runs a higher risk of failing. An air conditioner is no exception. Unfortunately, homeowners often make the mistake of overworking their AC with low temperature settings on the thermostat. We know it\u2019s tempting on a 90\u00b0F+ day to push the temperature down below 70\u00b0F\u2014but this doesn\u2019t get you better or faster cooling. It only leaves the compressor running longer and accumulating more stress (not to mention draining more energy).<\/p>\n
The higher you set the thermostat, less work the AC does and the slower heat enters the house. We recommend a setting of 78\u00b0F during the day. If that\u2019s too hot for your household, go to a lower setting and then raise the temperature by one degree a day until you find a temperature that works for everyone.<\/p>\n
Change the Air Filter Every 1 to 3 Months (All Year!)<\/h2>\n
Clogged air filters are a leading cause for ACs to lose cooling and possibly overload an electric circuit so they stop working. Fortunately, this is one of the easier problems to prevent: you only have to put in a new filter every 1 to 3 months. (The frequency depends on the type of filter.) We advise you check on the filter each month to see it it\u2019s congested with dust and lint, and you\u2019ll soon get used to how often you need to change it. Leaving a clogged filter in place will cut off airflow, cause coil freeze, and put so much stress on the blower fan that it overheats.<\/p>\n

When HVAC experts talk about the worst type of problems an air conditioning system can run into, they use the phrase \u201cno cool\u201d\u2014an air conditioning system that isn\u2019t cooling a house. The whole AC may have shut down and no air at all is coming from the vents. Or air is coming from the vents but it\u2019s not cool.<\/p>\n
