As we do our best to avoid dealing with the summer heat, our air conditioning units often face the brunt of it. Unfortunately, high temperatures and constant use can lead to a whole host of air conditioning problems that can have you sweltering indoors, just when you’re trying to keep cool. 

Here at Hilltop Plumbing & Heating Ltd., we’ve been troubleshooting and solving such issues for over 50 years, and we’re more than ready to help you beat the heat.

Common Summer Air Condition Issues

One of the most common issues we see during the summer months is low refrigerant levels. Your air conditioner needs refrigerant to remove heat and humidity from the air in your home, and when the levels are low, you may notice it’s not cooling effectively. There can be a couple of reasons for this, from refrigerant leakage to installation issues. 

Another common air condition problem is caused by the accumulation of dirt, dust, and leaves within your outdoor unit. When particles clog your filter and block the airflow, it can cause an array of issues, from poor cooling to complete system failure. Regular cleaning and servicing are essential, not just for keeping your unit running but to extend its lifecycle as well.

Finally, many older air conditioning models cannot withstand today’s scorching hot summers and often end up overworked and inefficient. Recognizing the signs and knowing when it’s time to invest in a newer, energy-efficient model can improve comfort and reduce utility bills.

Getting your air conditioner back in top shape doesn’t have to be a daunting task. At Hilltop Plumbing & Heating Ltd., we offer professional air conditioning repairs, servicing, and maintenance to keep you comfortable all summer.
