Compressor
The compressor is definitely a part in the air conditioning system that will malfunction if it hasn’t been used in a long time. This part works better when it is used constantly. As such, we will inspect the compressor and test it to make sure that it is functioning every time you turn on the air conditioner. You need the compressor to compress the refrigerant and circulate it.
Condenser
The condenser doesn’t mind a break as much as the compressor does, but it does have to deal with road debris because it is located directly behind the grille. Unfortunately, this can damage the condenser and prevent it from doing its job of cooling off the hot refrigerant. We will inspect the condenser to make sure there are no signs of damage. We will also clean the air inlets if they are clogged.
Condenser Fan
Aside from air inlets, the condenser also uses a fan to help it keep the refrigerant cold. Naturally, the fan can also be damaged by road debris. We will inspect the fan to make sure there is no damage. We will also test it to make sure it operates every time the condenser needs the additional airflow.
Electrical System
One of the things that can prevent the condenser fan from operating is a problem with the electrical system. Therefore, we will inspect the electrical system to make sure everything is safe and reliable. We will replace damaged parts such as frayed wiring and also make sure all of the switches and relays are working. Your air conditioner needs the electrical system in order to operate.
Refrigerant
Finally, you are not going to have cold air if the refrigerant level in the air conditioning system is low. We will check the refrigerant level and top it off if it needs it. Refrigerant can evaporate as the years go by. It can also leak out of the air conditioning system.
