Common Summer HVAC Issues

Refrigerant Leaks Refrigerant absorbs heat from your home and releases it outside. Leaks reduce efficiency and cooling capacity, indicated by hissing sounds, ice on evaporator coils, and reduced performance.

Prevention Tip: Regular maintenance can detect and fix leaks early. Our skilled technicians at Southern Air are trained to identify and repair refrigerant issues promptly.

Dirty Air Filters Clogged filters restrict airflow, making your HVAC system work harder.

Prevention Tip: Replace or clean air filters every 1-3 months. Our maintenance plans include regular filter checks and replacements.

Thermostat Malfunctions Inconsistent temperatures and increased energy bills can result from thermostat issues.

Prevention Tip: Ensure proper calibration and placement away from heat sources. Consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat with our help.

Clogged Drain Lines Condensation drain lines can clog with algae, mold, and debris, causing leaks.

Prevention Tip: Regular inspection and cleaning prevent clogs. Our technicians can handle this as part of our maintenance services.
