Why HVAC Units Fail by Williamsburg HVAC

Williamsburg Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc will be posting blogs on everything from “Why HVAC Units Fail” to selecting the proper filter for your AC Unit.

Your Thermostat is Broken

When your heating or air conditioning goes out, panic is hardly and uncommon reaction. How old is your thermostat? Does the battery in the thermostat need to be replaced? Give us a call at 757-220-4357 to setup an HVAC System Checkup.

Air Filter Needs be Replaced

Changing your filters can be an easy fix to your heating and cooling issues. A dirty filter can cause your HVAC system to work harder by effecting the air handler or the outside compressor. Note: Permanent filters should generally be cleaned every month during times of high usage.

Your Dampers Are Not Properly Balanced

The air that comes out of your ductwork must travel through a series of ducts before it reaches the appropriate room. We have the equipment at Williamsburg HVAC to balance the flow of air through your duct work so each room has the best heating and cooling balance.

Your Refrigerant is Leaking

Having you HVAC equipment checked every six months will spot any issues like refrigerant leaks before they become a major issue.  Home owners can spot this problem if they notice ice on the heating and cooling coils.

The Breaker Is Tripped

Check your electrical breaker box to see if one of breakers in the off position. The breaker could be defective, the circuit could be overloaded or the breaker connected to the HVAC system flipped to the off position.

Age of HVAC Equipment

If your HVAC equipment is over 10 years old you may want to consider replacing the old unit with a more efficient unit.  Heat Pumps have been re-designed over the last 10 years to where they pull more heat and cooling from the air than ever before.  Service checkups are also critical no matter the age of your equipment.
