It seems the time for air conditioning is on the verge of passing for the year, and heater season is just about to take hold of most of the nation. This means it’s time to have the HVAC system inspected an any necessary repairs made before extreme temperatures make their arrival. In spite of those efforts, though, certain malfunctions are bound to take place. While professional HVAC Services in Lincoln NE must come into play to repair many of these problems, some can easily be fixed through DIY measures.
Failing to Heat or Cool Properly
If your heating or cooling systems isn’t working quite as well as it should, a few specific issues could be at hand. Check your filters to see if they’re covered in dirt and pet hair. If so, changing them could solve the problem. In the event the trouble doesn’t lie in the filters, check the outside portion of the system. Leaves and debris built up on the unit or shrubs and weeds grown up around it may be hampering air flow. Cleaning off the unit and clearing away any overgrowth could help.
No Power to the System
Realizing your heating or cooling system isn’t coming on in spite of the temperature in the room being several degrees above or below where the thermostat is set can certainly be unnerving. In most cases, complete system failure is the first thought running through people’s minds when this happens. Sometimes, though, the cause could be as simple as a tripped circuit breaker or external power switch. Check the breakers to ensure the one controlling the heat and air conditioning hasn’t been tripped. Alternatively, a power switch in the attic or other locale throughout the house may have been inadvertently flipped to the off position.
Refusing to Operate
If the system won’t kick on or seems to be ignoring programmed temperature settings, the thermostat might be the best place to start looking for signs of trouble. For digital models, the batteries may just need to be replaced. Otherwise, a bad power connection may be the culprit, and professional HVAC services in Lincoln NE will be needed.
