AC Problems During Fall and How to Fix Them

While your AC units aren’t used very much during fall and winter, they can still experience problems due to the colder weather. Rol Air Plumbing & Heating, experts in air conditioning repair in Zimmerman, MN, discusses some common air conditioning issues you may experience during fall:

1. Clogged Piping

During the fall, dead leaves accumulate on the ground and in your homes’ gutters and outdoor air condensers. To avoid the need for premature air conditioning replacement, take the time to clean out your air condenser (the outside air conditioning system) and unclog any piping that leads from your indoor air conditioner to the outside.

2. Dirty Air Filters

Since fall is a great time to clean up and prepare for winter, one thing that should definitely be on your checklist is replacing your air filters as part of air conditioning maintenance. Air conditioning air filters should be changed at least once every 90 days, and a lot of homeowners simply forget to do it. However, if you don’t change your filters before you switch over to your heating unit, your air ducts may become clogged, and the air quality of your home will slowly decrease until a major duct cleaning is done.

3. Strange Sounds

A lot of times, air condensers will make concerning noises when outside debris gets caught inside of them. And, although scary sounds are fitting for Halloween, it’s best to check the inside of your air condenser for debris or loose parts. Always turn the unit off before looking inside, though, and if you aren’t able to identify a problem, call in an HVAC expert for the proper air conditioning services
