Air Conditioning Repair & Installation in Lethbridge, AB
Lethbridge summers can reach 35 °C or more, and dry, windy days add dust to the mix. Here's what to check when the AC isn't keeping up.
Request an HVAC technicianNot cooling
Check the thermostat is set to cool and below room temperature, the breakers for both the furnace and outdoor unit are on, and the filter is clean. A dirty filter can freeze the indoor coil.
Ice on the lines
Ice on the copper lines or indoor coil usually means poor airflow or low refrigerant. Turn the AC off, let it thaw with the fan running, and book a repair if it returns.
Outdoor unit care
Dust and debris carried by the wind collect on the outdoor coil and reduce cooling. Gently rinse it from the inside out with a garden hose once a season, with the power off.
Noises and smells
Grinding, squealing or clicking without starting point to a failing fan motor, capacitor or contactor. A burning smell means turn it off and get it checked.
Replacing an old unit
If your AC is old and repairs are adding up, a new central air unit or a heat pump may be the better buy. See heat pumps.
Get help
Tell the technician what the AC is doing and how old it is. Send a request and an HVAC technician will get in touch.
Sizing a new unit
An oversized AC cools in short bursts and leaves the air feeling clammy; an undersized one runs all afternoon. A load calculation that looks at windows, insulation and sun exposure gives the right size for your home.
Condensate drain
The indoor coil drains water through a small pipe or pump. A clogged drain can overflow and wet the basement floor, so check it each spring.
