A/C Not Keeping Up?

By Dan Jape

Atlanta has seen record temperatures this summer and this type of weather reinforces the need to keep one’s air conditioning system in top operating condition. A unit that is slightly undercharged with Freon can cause utilities to be as much as 30% higher and the home will not be dehumidified properly. A clean indoor coil and outdoor are a must to make sure an a/c unit is working to it’s rated capacity. The most common problem with a/c units in peak times is simply a clogged indoor filter. This will reduce the amount of air moving across the indoor coil and cause a possible freeze up. One should change the indoor filter more often in extreme weather conditions since the unit is operating more hours and the filter will plug up quicker. With a little attention, your a/c can keep you comfortable for years to come during these extreme temperatures.
