Air Conditioning Breakdowns in the Summer Months

During the summer, having your air conditioning break down is one of the most miserable experiences possible. Some of the breakdowns occur because of issues that you may be able to fix on your own. The thing to remember is that you should never go beyond your comfort zone when fixing HVAC equipment. The mechanical, electrical and other components in these systems sometimes require that a qualified technician takes a look at them, which can avoid making a bad situation worse, in many cases.

Screeching Noises

Sometimes, a hard-working air conditioner will start to make a loud, screeching noise. This is usually a problem with the belt that rotates the fan on the device. If you want to take a look on your own, check the fan to make sure that the belt hasn’t slipped off and check the bearings to see if they need lubrication.

Leaking Water

Leaking water is common with air conditioners. When this happens inside the home it can make the device unusable. Checking out this problem is not terribly difficult and, while you might not be able to replace any parts that have worn out, you can do some troubleshooting. Look at the drain and make sure that it has not clogged up. If this is the case, removing the clog might just take care of the problem right away. You can also check to make sure that the condensation pan isn’t rusted.

The Grills

The grills on your air conditioner can become blocked and, while you’re air conditioner may be functioning, you may not be getting optimal performance from it. Before you do anything in regards to cleaning these up, make sure you’ve disconnected all the power to the device. Youcan take apart the device and clean off any dust and debris. Remember to keep track of how you disassembled the device so that you can put it back together properly. You also need to watch out when you’re removing parts of the air conditioner, as some parts may be wired to the internal mechanical components and you could damage those components if you’re not careful while disassembling the device.

Coils

The coils on air conditioners can freeze, even in hot Florida weather. Taking care of this issue is a bit more technical, so you may want to have a professional repair the device if you find that it’s freezing up.

Maintenance and AC Emergencies

Keeping air conditioning units maintained can help to eliminate many of these issues. Sometimes, these issues arise because AC systems aren’t cleaned and checked before the cooling season, leading to problems with obstructions and so forth. If you cannot fix the unit yourself and need professional AC repair, Snyder Heating & Air Conditioning can service any system in northeast Florida. Snyder also offers services that may help you to avoid these problems altogether and that’s always the best option.

Setting up a maintenance schedule for your AC unit is the best way to avoid problems. It also helps you to avoid having to deal with an overheated house while you’re waiting for the problems to be repaired. If your system is very old, having a new AC system installation performed by professionals may be better than trying to keep an old system limping along. While you can fix some issues yourself, not having AC systems professional services for a long time can result in damage that cannot really be fixed. Consider Snyder to be your Jacksonville, FL contractor for any AC issues you may have. Whether it’s an emergency or preemptive maintenance, we can help keep your AC in good order.

Customer Reviews

This was an exceptional experience! We woke up to our A/C on but not cooling (it was 6am and already 81 in the house). The person who set up our appointment was very nice, able to get us seen same-day, and let us know of some options to help save us money.

-Christy Cormier

The service from Sam and Chris was excellent! They were very knowledgeable and professional. They were able to answer all of my questions and completed all of my electrical issues. I will definitely use them again for future jobs. Thank you!

-Adrienne Beal

From the get go I could tell that the Snyder employees were truly professionals and didn’t push to make sales like other companies I’ve talked to my whole life. They took the time to explain so that I could make a decision. The installers and later the duct cleaners were very respectful during their work here. Thank you.

-Mike Daniels

Snyder Heating and AC is dependable, always on time and techs have always been courteous and knowledgeable. Emanuel was a great addition to the company. He was friendly and knew what he was doing. Thank you for great service.

Snyder came in and did a total overhaul of our duct system. They had a great knowledge of what to do to make our home so comfortable! The technicians were all so professional and took great care of us! We’re so thankful for their expertise. Great and easy communication with the call center. We will definitely use them again!

-Crystal Hill

Snyder provided an amazing experience from start to finish. Most of us dread getting estimates with pressuring salespeople. Erik was a great guy, explained all my options and didn’t try to pressure me to act quickly! Justin followed up with my husband and I to offer further assistance in our decision. Again, no pressure, just helped with our follow up questions.

-Michele Bauer

Very prompt, professional, courteous, and cleaned up after repair. Had water line break in my front yard and no pressure. Very pleased and would highly recommend Snyder for all your plumbing, and AC needs. Thank you for making a rough morning get better with ease and professionalism.

-Chuck Jr.

Snyder was easy to get in contact with and had availability the next day. Clint came out and needed some parts so had to reschedule us for the next day for installation. He did a great job converting our old 3 knob shower to one. Looks great! Professional and courteous. 100% recommend this company, especially Clint.
