We understand how important your air conditioner is during the hot summer months and have put together an overview of the four most common problems that can affect your central or <a href=\"\/en\/air-conditioning\/wall-air-conditioner\/\">wall air conditioner<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9495 size-large\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Adjustment-of-a-wall-mounted-air-conditioner.jpg\" alt=\"Adjustment of a wall-mounted air conditioner\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-10\"><strong>1. It\u2019s blowing warm air<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-20\">If your AC unit is blowing warm air, several issues could be to blame. To figure out what\u2019s wrong, first make sure your AC is in cooling mode and that your air filter isn\u2019t clogged. If everything seems fine, you could have a problem with the compressor, cooling fan or need a top-up of refrigerant. If you\u2019re unsure what\u2019s causing the problem, it\u2019s best to call a professional to identify and repair the issue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-10\"><strong>2. It\u2019s leaking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-20\">It\u2019s normal for your outdoor air conditioning unit (as well as wall-mounted heat pump) to leak in extremely hot and humid weather. However, if you start to notice condensation pooling around your indoor equipment, it could indicate a larger problem with the sealed system, filter, drainage system or excessive fouling of the evaporator (inner coil).<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-10\"><strong>3. It has weak airflow<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-20\">Depending on where your AC unit\u2019s air filter is located, it can become clogged with dust, debris or even small insects. Therefore, it\u2019s important to regularly clean or replace the filter to ensure proper airflow. You should also periodically inspect the ductwork connected to the unit and make sure all the register vents are open and unobstructed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-10\"><strong>4. It\u2019s loud<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-20\">Your air conditioning unit is made up of several parts, including fans and motors. Each of these mechanisms produces a certain amount of noise. A low humming sound is nothing to be concerned about. However, loud, high-pitched or banging noises could indicate a serious problem. If you can\u2019t identify the sound, it\u2019s best to ask a specialist for help.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Air conditioning specialists in Quebec<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-10\">Air conditioning systems have many components that can wear out or malfunction.
