To properly cool your home while the summer heat is blazing, your air conditioning must complete two tasks: effectively reduce the air temperature and allow air to effectively flow through the ventilation system. If one of these tasks is completed, but not the other, the result will be reduced comfort. Even if your air conditioner can easily remove heat from the air inside the evaporator unit, your air conditioner will suffer from uneven cooling if it cannot sufficiently distribute the conditioned air.
Upon noticing spots in your home warmer than others, while the air conditioner is running, check the vents to ensure the airflow is at a comfortable level. During the checkup, if you find that the airflow feels weak, that probably means you need a check your of your AC system. Call the experts in air conditioning installation in Kissimmee at All Temp, for not only fast, but also reliable air conditioning installation.
There are a number of reasons that could cause the airflow to run slowly. Below are three of the most common:
- That air filter is clogged: When debris enters the return air vents of a system, that has the potential to damage the interior components of the air conditioner. In order to protect the system, the air filter captures debris. However, as time progresses, the accumulation of too many trapped particles in the filter will cause it to become clogged. This will stifle the airflow in the system, which will lower the air that leaves the system. While the air conditioner is running regularly, making sure that you change the filter regularly to prevent clogging. But if there is excessive clogging in an air filter, you should consider having a skilled technician check for any additional problems the clogging may have caused.
- Troubles with blower fan: The airflow coming out of an air conditioner is powered by the blower fan, which takes air away from the return vents, sends it through the evaporator coils to be cooled, on into the ductwork, ending to the vents that open on your rooms. There are various reasons that a blower can malfunction, such as a broken belt, burnt-out motor, failed electric relays, or dead capacitors. A technician will check to see what’s causing the blower’s power and efficiency to drop.
- Leaking ductwork: The complication with this is that it is not a problem that stems from the AC itself. It comes from the ducts connected to the AC. If the ventilation shafts don’t maintain an airtight seal, starting from the air handler, ending at the vents, the air pressure will drop when each bit of air escapes through the leaks.
When breaks occur along the ducts due to corrosion, the system is poorly installed, or with construction damage, the air that is supposed to blow out of the vents will be siphoned away.
