When you are a homeowner there are things that you care more about then you used to. As a homeowner you are responsible for the home, care and maintenance of it. This means that you are likely to take more care in knowing how to properly maintain many areas of the house. One of the appliances that most homeowners know to take good care of is the air conditioning unit. The air conditioning unit is a large part of the homes comfort and should last for a good ten years. If you do not care for your unit it can breakdown early and cause you to need to replace it early. Most people want to know what they can do to ensure that their unit is efficient and that it is not going to breakdown early. There are common reasons that an AC unit will breakdown and it is a good idea to know what you can do to avoid these issues. Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning lists common causes of AC unit breakdowns.

AC Condenser is Dirty

Your air conditioning unit is something that needs to be cleaned and maintained. The unit is something that has to be care for or it will not be able to function properly. The AC unit has part of the unit that is outdoors and that means that it can get dirty. You might be thinking that it is okay and that a little bit of dirt should not be that big of a deal. The problem is that the unit works on the amount of air that it is able to circulate. If the air cannot circulate properly it will not be able to work correctly and it will make the unit go out sooner. The dirt can cover the condenser and the evaporator coils. They can get dirty from the wind and dust that blows outdoors. This will clog up the condenser and the coils and make it impossible to run and work. You can make sure that your AC unit is cleaned during your routine maintenance.

AC Contactor Failure

When your AC unit is worked on or it is installed your hope is that it was done professionally. You want to know that the wiring and the connections are taken care of and installed properly. One of the reasons that your unit can start to break down early is if the wiring has damage or the connections are loose. The wires can become worn overtime as well and may require work to have them repaired or replaced. You want to make sure that your wiring has been checked so that the unit does not start to break down early.

Wrong Size AC Unit Or Ductwork

One of the things that you want to make sure is done right is the size of the unit that has been installed. You also need to make sure that the air ducts are also the right size. If either of these things are not done right and are the incorrect size the unit will not last and will breakdown and wear out quickly. It is best to have a professional do all the installation.
