6 Possible Reasons
Why No Air Is Coming Out From your Air Conditioner
|
Most people in Singapore understand the importance of having
an efficient air conditioning system installed in their
homes. However, it’s imperative to know that these systems
cannot work perfectly forever. At one time or another, you
will tend to experience failed systems especially at the
time when you don’t expect them. Mostly, the reason for the
failure is something that can easily be prevented with
regular maintenance.
There are many kinds of problems which your systems may
undergo and one of the most common of these problems is when
no air coming out. At times, the air conditioning unit wont
come out but the inside fan works perfectly well and the
problem could be anything to do with your thermostat,
circuit breakers inside or outside the unit or other
problems. It’s also imperative to ensure that there is no
debris inside the air conditioning unit as it may be the
reason why the conditioning system is not working. If you
find out that there are certain problems in your system, you
should consider seeking help from an air conditioning
expert.
Here are 6 possible reasons why no air is coming out from
your air conditioner
1. Thermostat settings
The reliability of programmable thermostats is wanting and
if you have programmable thermostats, you have to make sure
that it is not set in the “off” position. But if using the
manual option, make sure that the switch is turned on. If
not set properly, there is no doubt that it may fail to
bring out air which is necessary for cooling your home.
However, if you find that the thermostat settings are
correct, you may proceed to check your indoor and outdoor
units.
In most instances, the indoor units are situated in the
attic or the crawlspace of your home. Check if the fans are
blowing. Most units that are sold these days are designed in
a manner that runs quietly as opposed to old models which
were available in the market some years back. However, by
standing beside the air conditioning unit, you will be able
to tell if the system is running or not. Check your air
vents inside the home and find out if there is something
that may have blocked the pipes therefore making it hard for
air to pass through.
2. Are the conditioner’s breakers turned on?
Most air conditioning units have two breakers: one on the
inside and another on the outside of the unit. In some
instances, you may have turned the breakers off and forget
to turn them on again. Nonetheless, something may have
caused them to trip. If the latter is the case, you should
try turning them back on only once. If this happens again,
then there is a possibility of an electrical problem in the
air conditioning unit itself. Among the factors that may
cause tripping of breakers include dirty condenser-coils,
malfunctioning coil or lack of a refrigerant. These are
serious problems which require you to schedule a service.
3. Clogged air filters
The air filters are important in making sure that your air
conditioning units work pretty well. But it can be clogged
by dirt to a level that air doesn’t pass through. It’s vital
that you pull out your system’s filter and ensure that dirt
on both parts of it is removed. You will need to clean or
replace your filter once a month to ensure that it works
perfectly well. A clogged air filter may make your system
work harder, fail to get air out or cause overheating. You
can make your air conditioner flow air regularly by ensuring
that the air filters are not clogged.
4. The outer disconnect systems
The unit on the inside may be working perfectly well while
the outer unit may not. If this is the case, you have to
ensure that you check your systems disconnect switch which
is normally located on the outside wall. If the switch is
turned on, there will be no air coming out of your system.
Turn on the switch and check if air flows as required. If
the system doesn’t start after turning it on, there will be
problem in the switches or in the capacitor and so you will
need to ask for help from an expert. Do not make a mistake
of fixing the problem on your own because you may end up
causing more problems or damages on the air conditioning
system.
5. Faulty electricity connection
When electricity doesn’t get into your air conditioning
system, there will be no air coming out. To make sure that
this works perfectly well, you should check the compressor
which is located on the exterior part of the alternating
current unit. Other parts to check are the circuit breakers,
circuits and air handlers. If any of the system’s switches
are turned off, this may be the reason for absence of power
in your air conditioning systems. If there is a breakage in
power supply, you can expect your systems to fail delivering
whatever type of service it is expected of it.
6. Mechanical problems
Whenever there are mechanical problems in your air
conditioning systems, there is a possibility of no air
coming out. Among the most common of mechanical problems
include malfunctioning compressor, condenser, electrical
systems and many more. Mechanical problems should be handled
by a qualified air conditioning professional and may even
entail getting replacement parts for the parts that have
failed. Periodic scheduled service can help reduce the
occurrence of mechanical problems.
Conclusion
Air conditioning units play very important roles in most
homes in Singapore. However, because of several reasons,
there may be no air coming out of the system. Among the
causes of this include mechanical problems, faulty
electrical systems, problem with the outer disconnect
system, clogged air filters and when the system’s breakers
are turned on. You can troubleshoot these problems on your
own since you can fix some simple problems. However, for
major problems that involve the complicated parts of the air
conditioning units, seeking the assistance of a certified
air conditioning unit will be the most appropriate way to
go. |
