Common AC Problems

With this warm weather we have been experiencing, many have already resorted to turning on their Scottsdale air conditioning systems. Because winter’s mild temperatures may not have required your system to get much use over the last few months, you may already be experiencing problems with your unit. There are a number of reasons this may be the case, which you may be able to fix on your own. If the problem is more serious, we are here to help!

Clogged air filter: Over time, your air filter accumulates dirt and dust which can clog your system. A dirty air filter can cause your system to run inefficiently, so be sure to check it if your system is having trouble keeping up. Energy Star® recommends that you check your filter once a month¹, and change it as you deem necessary.
Low refrigerant levels/refrigerant leaks: Your equipment manufacturer has exact specifications regarding the refrigerant charge for your specific system. If this level is not exact, your system may run inefficiently. A Howard Airtechnician can help you identify any leaks, and charge your system to the correct amount.
Drainage problems: The condensate drain on your AC unit can easily become misaligned or clogged, which can cause problems with the unit’s functionality. A HVAC specialist can assist in properly repairing the problem.
Electrical/Sensor Problems: Compressor and fan controls, and thermostat sensors can wear out over time. These problems can be easily identified and replaced by a trusted air conditioning professional.
Blocked airflow: Overgrown shrubs and debris can block the intake and airflow of your unit. Check the areas around your outside unit and clear away anything that may be an obstruction.

It is important to understand that you should never try to repair your unit on your own. Fountain Hills AC repair should always be left to a professional in order to prevent further damage to your unit. One of the best ways to identify and prevent problems is with seasonal maintenance. We offer a number of maintenance plans to make service more convenient and affordable. If you are experiencing problems with your system, you have multiple options for scheduling service. You may fill out a service request form here on our website, or you can simply call 602.953.2766 to speak with someone directly.

Removing Allergens with Indoor Air Quality Solutions

While these warm winter temperatures have many wondering if Spring has come early, others are finding out that allergy season most definitely has. In a typical winter, the cooler temperatures slow down the pollination of trees, reducing the allergens in the air. Unfortunately, the warm, dry air we are experiencing has created perfect conditions for pollination and many in the Phoenix area are suffering from itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, and other uncomfortable symptoms. Fortunately, your Paradise Valley heating and air conditioning company can help you purify the air in your home and remove the pollutants that are aggravating your symptoms. While heating and air conditioning are important, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) services also play an essential role in the overall comfort of your home.

Howard Air employs only the most knowledgeable and dedicated staff to ensure that your needs are addressed with the utmost level of care. By calling to schedule an appointment, one of our trained technicians will come to your home to assess the quality of your indoor air, and go over your options with you. We offer a variety of air purification products including air purifiers and cleaners which are proven to remove 99.98% of airborne pollutants (including pollen and other allergens) from the air. These systems work either in combination with, or separately from, your heating and cooling unit to circulate dirty air in through a filter, and send clean air out. Whether you are looking for a portable unit or a whole home system, your technician will be able to properly identify the indoor air quality product that is a good fit for your home in the Scottsdale area.

Pre-season Air Conditioning and Heating Maintenance

With the hot temperatures typical of Arizona summers, you probably expect your Scottsdale air conditioning to always be performing at full capacity. Unfortunately, systems which are neglected and do not receive the proper attention and care often malfunction when you least expect it. Not only is it inconvenient and uncomfortable for your cooling system to be broken, but service calls and replacement parts can be expensive. Fortunately, there are precautions that can be taken to help prevent such an occurrence. Having a professional HVAC service such as Howard Air inspect and clean your system through regular maintenance is an ideal way to make sure that your Phoenix heating and cooling unit is functioning properly. But many consumers have a hard time determining when might be the best time to schedule such a service.

Chances are that your system is not being used very often during the winter months, making it an ideal time to call your Fountain Hills air conditioning company to make an appointment. The trained professional sent to your home or business will inspect your indoor and outdoor units to look for damage and will clean functioning parts which may have built up residue and dust, or be clogged with debris such as leaves. Any problems will be addressed and repaired to prevent equipment failure in the future, as well as to increase the life expectancy of your system overall. Scheduling pre-season maintenance is simple, and may be available to you with minimal costs if your system came with a service agreement. Be sure to call Howard Air in Phoenix to make an appointment before warm weather arrives and services are at their highest demand.
