The more you know about the cooling process and about problems that arise, the more likely you&#8217;ll be to call for professional help when you notice something wrong. Plus, it makes a nice party trick to be able to talk about the internal components of your air conditioner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Refrigerant Leaks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An air conditioner depends on refrigerant in order to perform the cooling process. When it starts leaking refrigerant, it can stumble and have problems in different areas. Here are a few effects that can come from a refrigerant leak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Your air conditioner will require more electricity to run the remaining refrigerant in the cooling cycle. This will lead to inefficiency.<\/li><li>Your temperatures could start to suffer since there&#8217;s not enough refrigerant to completely cool the air in your home.<\/li><li>You&#8217;ll hear a bubbling and hissing noise coming from the system.<\/li><li>It could start overheating and breaking down.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3>Clogged Air Filters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your air conditioner has an air filter that needs to be changed every 1-3 months. This is to ensure that enough fresh, filtered air gets to the system so that it can cool it and send it back into your house. With a clogged filter, you could see higher energy bills, poor temperature control, and even a system breakdown. Some of these symptoms are identical to a refrigerant leak, so try replacing the air filter to see if the system improves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Ice on the Condenser<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, either due to a clogged air filter, refrigerant leak, or some other issue, ice can form on the condenser coil. Don&#8217;t be mistaken, ice forming on your air conditioner is never a good sign. This is cause for concern and it&#8217;s important that you call for professional help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>A Complete Breakdown<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;ve got a completely broken-down air conditioner, then you need professional help. We can diagnose the problem and regardless of the issue, we&#8217;ll fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Call Peatson's Heating and Air Conditioning Ltd.
