5 Common Causes of Emergency HVAC Issues

Unfortunately, things can go wrong with your electrical system, resulting in issues with your HVAC unit. It may not always be easy to determine what’s causing HVAC problems, but it’s important to know what to look out for.

If any of the below are true for you, schedule an immediate repair or replacement with our team:

• Faulty or loose wiring: If your home’s wiring is loose or worn out, it can damage your HVAC system or lead to an electrical fire, so have your home rewired ASAP.
• Broken thermostat: Your thermostat is responsible for maintaining your desired temperature. If it’s not working as intended, your HVAC system won’t be able to meet your heating or cooling needs.
• Dirty air filters: If your air filters are dirty or clogged, your system won’t be able to circulate airflow adequately, so clean off or replace your air filters routinely. 
• Clogged lines: The drain lines drain water from the evaporator coil as your unit runs; if the line is clogged or blocked, it can result in a backup that can cause water damage or another issue.
• Leaks: If your unit’s refrigerant leaks, there may be ice buildup on the evaporator coils that should be addressed immediately.

FAQs

Why did my breaker trip? 

A blown fuse can occur if your HVAC unit’s blower is overworked. This sometimes leads to a tripped breaker.

How do I know if I need an HVAC repair or replacement?

If you have to schedule frequent repairs that are over half the cost of a replacement price or your unit is over 15 to 20 years old, it’s time to upgrade to a new unit. 

Why are my HVAC coils frozen?

Evaporator coils can freeze if refrigerant leaks, the unit’s airflow becomes blocked, or you’re running your AC in below-60-degree weather.
