The last thing you want to deal with during the warm months is an air conditioning breakdown. Unfortunately, summer is the season when HVAC issues are most likely to occur, but the good news is that many of them are easy enough to resolve. Here are a handful of AC system problems to look out for and how to correct them.

4 Common Summer HVAC Issues

1. Refrigerant Leaks

One of the most obvious symptoms of refrigerant leaks is the lack of cool air blowing through your air conditioning unit. Though you may simply need to add more coolant, it’s possible that there might be cracks in the reservoir, which will require professional repairs. 

2. High Utility Bills

HVACIt makes sense for your monthly energy bills to rise a bit during the summer since you use your cooling system more often. However, skyrocketing bills typically indicate more serious issues. Your unit may be inefficient, incorrectly sized, or at the end of its life span, so schedule an HVAC inspection as soon as possible. 

3. Clogged Ducts

Springtime is notorious for dust and pollen buildups. By the time summer arrives, your ductwork may be full of debris, causing your air conditioning system to work harder to cool your home. Take the stress off of your unit by having the ducts professionally cleaned. 

4. Moisture Damage 

Humidity levels are typically high throughout spring and summer. As a result, the metal components of your HVAC system, such as the condenser fan or coils, may begin to corrode and diminish its performance. Have these parts cleaned or replaced to restore your AC’s function.
