Exploring HVAC Maintenance and Repairs

Hi there, my name is Michelle. I created this site to talk to you about maintaining your HVAC system on your own and with help from contractors. Your HVAC system controls the temperature and air quality in your home. When this system starts to malfunction, you may notice a decrease in your comfort levels. You can perform preventative maintenance to keep this system running year round. From these posts you'll hopefully be able to learn about DIY and professional maintenance tasks that need to be performed regularly. My site will also cover common faults and repairs for HVAC components. Thank you.

Have Moisture When The AC Is Running? What To Do

12 September 2018

If there seems to be moisture in your home but the air conditioner is running, the unit may not be doing a good job of removing the muggy air. There are a lot of things that can cause water to develop in the air conditioner, and things that can happen to cause moisture to be a problem. Here are some of the things that you should look into and talk about with your air conditioning professional.

Pest Infestation Problems

There are many reasons why you may have pests inside the air conditioning unit, or insects swarming around the unit. If this has happened to you then it could be because there is humidity in the machine. Humidity in the unit will attract many types of insects, and they can travel through the machine into the ducts and into your home. This can indicate that there is a moisture problem in the unit.

The Fan Isn't Blowing Well

If the fan isn't blowing well, it could be causing moisture in the ducts and around the units and could be part of the issue. You need the air to blow well so that it can keep air moving through the house, and so it can push the air to avoid stagnant air and moisture accumulation.

Rusted Components

The components on the air conditioner shouldn't be rusted out, and if they are then this is a sign that water is dripping inside the unit. The heating and cooling professional can replace all of the rusted components and give the unit a tune-up, to see if this helps to stop the problem and to see if there are leaks with the Freon container. If the unit has a Freon leak then it is likely to freeze up, since this is the chemical that cools that air before it leaves the unit.

If you have moisture problems inside your home when you are running the air conditioning unit, and you've noticed other issues like insects traveling into the home from the vents, then you want to call a heating and cooling professional. You need to find out why there is water inside the air conditioner or if there is a condensation problem, and if there are parts that need to be replaced. The machine may need an overall tune-up to see how it's working, and you should ask about getting a full house dehumidification system that can keep the moisture levels appropriate.
