Over the summer, we experienced a big issue with our AC system.
- In the 6 years that we’ve been living in this house, we have never experienced any issues with either our furnace or air conditioner, so you can imagine our surprise when the air coming out of the air vents wasn’t cool.
The summer heat and humidity is hard to tackle in this region, so we realized that our house was feeling unusually warm rather quickly. I’m glad we caught it early on because that meant we could contact the local HVAC company and get it fixed right away. Sometimes, when you wait too long to get your HVAC equipment looked at, it can cause more damage and cost even more money to repair. An HVAC professional was able to come and look at our AC system right away and we were grateful. He said that the symptoms we were experiencing with our AC system were normal and it was probably an easy fix. Thankfully, he was right! AFter looking at the entire HVAC system, the HVAC professional discovered a refrigerant leak. The leak meant that there was a hole that needed to be patched, but he was able to do that on the spot. Once the hole was patched, the leaking stopped and the cool air resumed shortly. This all happened in the summer, so we’re hoping that nothing bad happens with our furnace now that the weather is cooler. So far, we haven’t experienced anything unusual with the heat.
