Most common problems we see in our line of work

1- My air conditioner is running all the time

On the hottest days of summers in Toronto, air conditioners work more than usual to keep your house in the desired temperature. But if it's working constantly, first you might first need to replace the filter. generally speaking, You should replace your air conditioner filter once every three months.

If that doesn't hep, You might need a cleaning on the condenser unit outside. if that doesn't work either, you might have a refrigerant leakage. That is a complex issue and you need an HVAC technician to solve the problem.

2- Air conditioner refrigerant leak

Older air conditioner works on R-22 which is now banned in United estate and Canada. the refrigerant lines related to air conditioners, are closed loop. so the refrigerant cannot evaporate and it remains and runs through the lines. if there is a leak, over time, the temperature of the air coming from the vents rises because there is little to no amount of refrigerant in that closed loop. A leak investigation must be done to see where the leak is and most of the time the leak is related to the coil.

occasionally, you might see some water under your outdoor unit, this could be totally normal when the air conditioner is working. Specially when the days are hot. a continuation of a water leak can be problematic.

change your filter every 2-3 months. if you have a leak in your basement while the air conditioner is working , there could be a drain problem. for your Air conditioner leak, Contact your local HVAC company to fix that problem.

4- Air conditioner makes a loud abnormal noise

Every air conditioner makes a normal Humming noise. when it starts you might here some brief clicks or squeals.

If the compressor makes Metallic noise, Probably it is the pistons inside trying to compress the refrigerant gas and those pistons are worn out. you might need a new compressor air a new condenser.

If you hear an air conditioner buzzing noise, it is often an electrical problem. this tends to happen to old air conditioners. ignoring it might cause serious problem.
