It doesn’t matter whether you’ve got central air conditioning, a widow unit or a wall air conditioner, Van Nuys residents want their air cooling systems to function properly. While there are more things that can go wrong with a central air conditioning system, a wall air conditioner can have its fair share of troubles.
The air conditioners three main components, the compressor, the evaporator and the condenser, all need to operate at the maximum efficiency in order for the wall unit to function properly. When something stops working with any one of these components, the air conditioner will not cool properly. If your air conditioner isn’t cooling the room it’s in, there are a few things you can, and should, check before making a call to a repair company.
It may sound like common sense, but check the thermostat to see that it hasn’t been accidentally turned down. Ideally, it should be set at no less than 70 and no higher than 72. The filters should also be checked to be sure they aren’t clogged with dust. This will seriously impair the units ability to cool a room. If these things have been checked and, if needed, corrected and the unit still fails to properly cool, the next step is to call for service.
