There is nothing like getting home after working outside on a hot Nevada day and finding out the air conditioning isn’t working. Many people worry at this point that the repair will be expensive. However, there are many small problems that can keep an air conditioning system from working properly. Air conditioners need a lot of air to do their job. They keep the house cool by pulling air into it, cooling it and then sending it into the home. If the air filter is dirty, the air conditioner won’t get enough air to work properly. Plumbers in Reno area will check to make sure the filters aren’t clogged with dirt and debris. Air filters can easily be cleaned or replaced.

The technician will also check the refrigerant level in the cooling coils. If the refrigerant level is low, the cooling system won’t have enough power to remove the heat. Plumbers always have refrigerant in their service vans. They can easily ensure the air conditioner has enough refrigerant to do its job properly.

Compressors, condensers, and fans keep the air circulating at the right speed to keep the home cool. If any of these components fail, they will need to be replaced. Plumbers in Reno know what brands their customers use on a regular basis. They are careful to stock them and keep them in the service van. The technician won’t have to waste time returning to the company warehouse or tracking one down at a plumbing supply store.

These are all very fast repairs that will have an air conditioning system repaired quickly. Other items can take longer to diagnose and repair. If the air conditioner checks out, the plumber will have to look at the duct system. Ducts transport cold air throughout the home. As the system ages, the ducts may sag and begin to leak. In extreme cases, the segments can separate. Industry reports estimate that 30 percent of the cold air produced by the air conditioning unit can be lost due to faulty ducts. If the homeowner isn’t feeling cool air, the ducts may be to blame. Depending upon the type of leak, segments could be repaired or replaced.
