Repairing and maintaining an air conditioner is an unavoidable task. However, it is quite simple and quick for an experienced refrigerant technician. Many factors can contribute to an air conditioning breakdown. Air conditioners have a ten to twelve-year average lifespan. Air conditioners have become increasingly popular in recent years, as they are used both for cooling in the summer and for heating in the winter. So, it stands to reason that they will have breakdowns at some point.

Air conditioner repair: Primary identifiers of malfunctions
The primary identifiers of malfunction to the air conditioner includes:
⦁ Leaking air conditioner Freon
⦁ The air conditioner does not produce hot or cold air
⦁ Clogged air conditioner filters
⦁ Air conditioner fan failure
⦁ Electrical insufficiency
⦁ Air compressor failure
⦁ Reduced cooling and heating efficiency
⦁ Cleaning of an outdoor air conditioning unit
⦁ The air conditioner board
⦁ Air conditioner capacitor failure
⦁ Condensate sewer pipe failure
⦁ The air conditioner blinds do not open.
⦁ The air conditioner makes noise.
⦁ Unusual smell from the air conditioner
An air conditioner’s maintenance may include:
The advantages of air conditioning maintenance include increased efficiency, improved operation and air quality, energy and money savings, and longer service life and durability.
⦁ General control of the correct operation of the indoor and outdoor units.
⦁ Control and supplementation of freon coolant
⦁ Detection of any air conditioning leaks
⦁ Control of air conditioner connections and wiring
⦁ Cleaning of filters and air conditioner blinds
⦁ Failure of air conditioner sensors
⦁ Fan control and cleaning
⦁ Cleaning of a water collection basin
⦁ Control of air conditioning pressures
⦁ Spraying antifungal liquid on the element of the air conditioner
⦁ Leaking air conditioner freon
Freon leakage, that is, the coolant, is one of the most common problem faced in an air conditioner repair. The only solution to this problem is the detection and repair of freon leakage by a professional. Checking and refilling freon is a key task when maintaining an air conditioner.
⦁ Clogged air conditioner filters
Clogged filters greatly reduce the efficiency of the air conditioner. At the same time, there is a risk of causing damage to the compressor and the fan of the air conditioner. Cleaning the filters or replacing air conditioner filters will restore the correct operation of the air conditioner.
⦁ Failure of air conditioner sensors
The sensors of the air conditioner monitor the temperatures and pressures of the coolant and air. If the sensors are damaged, the air conditioner will either run continuously or its power will fluctuate unnecessarily. This will result in significant energy loss and poor air conditioner performance.
⦁ The air conditioning control board
The air conditioning control board monitors and controls the correct operation of elements such as the compressor, fan, valve, etc. A breakdown in the board can cause strange behavior or even the shutdown of the air conditioner. Repair or change of the air conditioner board is done by an experienced coolant.
⦁ Working on air conditioning system
Many of us are purely unaware of the actions of our home air conditioning systems. Heaters are simple devices that heat air and distribute it through pipes throughout your home. Boilers produce hot water or steam. It is then piped throughout the home. But how do air conditioning systems produce cool, humidity-free air for your dog on hot summer days? The law of science states that every gas cools as it expands in volume, which you may have learned in your college physics class.
What is the principle of operation of modern air conditioners?
This process is carried out by heat absorption from the air. A fan then circulates the air around the pipes. This procedure is carried out several times. Thereby producing a constant stream of cold air. The electric motor that powers the compressor results in air compression.
The process involved in the air conditioning system is facilitated by a condenser. In which, there is a fan and a pipe system, somewhat reminiscent of how the radiator works in a car, where the expansion is done through an evaporator. Using the fan, the air is sucked from the inside while passing through a filter that blocks various particles and dust that have penetrated from the outside.
Conclusion
By regularly maintaining and cleaning the air conditioning systems, you will be able to make the most of their cooling and heating efficiency. According to professional refrigerators, the maintenance and cleaning of the air conditioner should be done twice a year. More specifically, when changing the period of use of cooling – heating.
