Buildup of Debris Pet hairs, dust, pollen, dry leaves from pots and other debris quickly accumulates to such levels that can impair the constant flow of air passing through the air conditioning unit. As weak airflow is the root of several problems associated with your unit, you will experience a drop in cooling capacity. Gradually, you will have to pay higher utility bills. Also, if situation get worse, i.e., if the area around the unit gets clogged up, it overheats and shut down preventing fire. So, to avoid this situation, keep the outdoor condenser unit, air filter and evaporator coil clean and free from debris. Leaking Refrigerant

2. Air conditioning unit are designed as such that uses a specific amount of refrigerant in the unit.Air conditioning unit are designed as such that uses a specific amount of refrigerant in the unit. If the quantity of the refrigerant increases or decreases in the unit, the performance gets impaired. As refrigerant is vital in the effective functioning of the unit, if it is incorrectly installed or is old and deteriorating, it can develop leaks which will not be a good sign for your unit. To scrap metal thieves, the copper refrigerant lines are quite valuable, they tamper with the unit by cutting out the lines and cause the unit to leak. If you experience a drop in the cooling capacity of the unit, contact your nearest Trane expert as soon as possible. Impaired Drainage It  is  the  condensate  drain  of  the  unit  that  carries  away  the  moisture  and  release  it  in atmosphere.  However,  if  the  drain  stops  working,  water  will  back  up  in  home.  With  the advancement in technology, there are many air conditioners that can sense if the water has backed  up.  If  they  find  it,  the  unit  gets  automatically  shut  the  whole  system  until  the condensate is able to drain again. If the fault is not rectified, algae and sludge will form and block the passage completely. Thus, a preventive maintenance agreement will keep this issue in check. Therefore, if you are facing issues with your home comfort equipment, call a reliable Trane air conditioner  installation  (http://www.houkac.com/category/category/blog­2/trane­ac­blog­ 2/) and repair expert in Dallas.
