Please check our list below to troubleshoot any issues you may be experiencing with your cooling or heating unit.
Your heating and air conditioning unit will not warm or cool your home properly without balance in the HVAC air flow. If your home has uneven temperatures from room to room, you need to balance the air flow in your HVAC system.
Common Problems
Air filtration systems work to capture pollutants and contaminants in the air.
What can cause this to fail?
Uses ultraviolet light to kill Microorganisms (mold, mildew, bacteria, and viruses).
What can cause this to fail?
Protects the furnace and cleans the air circulating through the house.
What can cause this to fail?
Used to circulate conditioned air (whether heated or cooled) from a furnace or cooling system throughout the home.
What can cause this to fail?
Powers the Blower Fan
What can cause this to fail?
Measures and monitors the current flow across a circuit. If the current increases too high, it will trip a switch, severing the flow of electricity past it.
What can cause this to fail?
Gas ignited by ignition system. This hot, combusted gas rises past a heat exchanger and out through a vent that leads to the outside of the house.
What can cause this to fail?
Can cause system to malfunction including a risk of fire.
What can cause this to fail?
Capacitors store electricity. A fully charged capacitor allows current to flow at its maximum level as it releases its charge.
What can cause this to fail?
Circuit boards organize and control the sequence of operation in the furnace.
What can cause this to fail?
Compresses low pressure refrigerant gas into a high pressure, high temperature gas.
What can cause this to fail?
Tubes to carry the refrigerant through so it can be cooled. Must be kept free of damage and clean for them to work well.
What can cause this to fail?
Powers the condenser fan to blow air across the coil.
What can cause this to fail?
Blows outdoor air across the hot condenser coil, cooling the hot Freon gas.
What can cause this to fail?
Sends the correct voltage to power the compressor.
What can cause this to fail?
A damper controls the draft in an HVAC system. Dampers open and close based on the portion of the HVAC system in use, and they control air flow and venting of the system.
What can cause this to fail?
Controls the defrost cycles on the heat pump
What can cause this to fail?
Control the process of the ignition system. Continuously monitor the furnace's operation of the integrated control module itself.
What can cause this to fail?
Absorbs the air's heat and sends it back into the house as cold air via a series of air ducts. Constricted air flow to coil prevents proper cooling.
What can cause this to fail?
Valve that controls flow of refrigerant into the compressor.
What can cause this to fail?
This is a Safety switch. Shuts furnace down in the event of a overheat situation. Determines when the blower fan comes on and how long it should stay on.
What can cause this to fail?
Older furnaces have blowers that are driven by belts instead of directly by a motor.
What can cause this to fail?
Responsible for supplying the furnace's burners with flammable gas once they've heated up enough to allow for combustion, and it also shuts off the supply of gas when the burners go out to avoid a fire hazard.
What can cause this to fail?
Designed for the transfer of heat from your return air to your supply air. When your heat exchanger has holes, cracks, or rusted out sections, the air passing over it can actually spread those dangerous CO gases into your home!
What can cause this to fail?
The wire possess enough electrical resistance so that when a current passes through it, it generates a large amound of heat. This sudden spark of heat is used to light the main burner.
What can cause this to fail?
Absorbs the air's heat and sends it back into the house as cold air via a series of air ducts.
What can cause this to fail?
The draft inducer blower's purpose is to move air and gases out of the furnace and up through the chimney
What can cause this to fail?
Captures contaminants in the refrigerant, preventing them from reaching the condensing unit's compressor.
What can cause this to fail?
When activated by an electric current, the surface of the glow coil heats up and ignites the burners in the furnace.
What can cause this to fail?
Refrigerant is what removes heat from air and cools/heats. It has to be properly charged.
Why is this needed?
A simple electromechanical switch which uses a small current to turn a much larger current on and off.
What can cause this to fail?
When something fails or pressures reach an unacceptable high level or point, the switch will shut off the electrical power in the circuit shutting the furnace down.
What can caus this to fail?
Helps start the compressor.
What can cause this to fail?
Prevents compressor damage from a sudden surge of liquid refrigerant and oil that could enter the compressor from the suction line.
What can cause this to fail?
Surge Protectors are designed to reduce and divert potentially damaging short-duration voltage spikes safely out of the system to Ground. This is similar in concept to pressure relief valves that protect water heaters from over-pressure.
An important safety device. If the gas does not ignite and continues to flow, it can cause an explosion when it builds up. A thermocouple turns off the gas if the pilot is off.
What can cause this to fail?
Controls the heating and air-conditioning systems in your house. A programmable thermostat provides an effective, economocal and easy way to save energy.
What can cause this to fail?
A furnace transformer reduces your house voltage for use inside your furnace.
What can cause this to fail?
Water leaks can be from multiple reasons including holes in the drain pan that is located under the evaporator, a plugged condnsation drain line and an evaporator coil that is frozen up.
