Arizona Sunrise - HVAC Problems In Phoenix - Bruces ACTemperatures here in Phoenix are generally either hot or mild throughout the entire year. Unfortunately, heating and air conditioning systems often develop problems that must be dealt with quickly and professionally.

The following are two common problems affecting HVAC systems and how to deal with them.

HVAC Problems In Phoenix That Are Common

Common HVAC problems in Phoenix:

 

1. Faulty Thermostat

HVAC systems are designed to operate automatically. The thermostat is responsible for switching the HVAC system between heating and cooling. A faulty thermostat may lead to overheating or over-cooling of rooms. Frequent adjustment, low batteries and mechanical damage from impact are to blame for problems associated with thermostats.

 

2. Coolant Problems

The cooling system in air conditioners has the same working principle as refrigerators. On older units, coolant runs through the evaporator and condenser, absorbing and carrying away heat to the outside. If the coolant leaks, cooling will not take place. A good indicator of coolant problems is abnormal temperature spikes. The AC may be running but the temperature of the room may not be dropping to the desired level. While this may also indicate a faulty thermostat, the level of the coolant in the AC unit should be checked.

Vent - Air Duct Cleaning Can Improve Your Health - BrucesAC.comDid you know that dirty air ducts can affect the efficiency of your home’s central heating and cooling system?

It’s not a problem that homeowners often consider when maintaining their HVAC systems, yet regular cleaning is not only essential to the operation of your HVAC components, it can also have apositive effect on your health. As your Chandler, AZ, experts for all HVAC issues, Bruce’s Commercial and Residential Services can perform air duct cleaning to restore your HVAC system to its original cleanliness and operating efficiency.

Duct Contamination Increases Over Time

Over time, a home’s air ducts become contaminated with dust, pollen and other debris. Mold can also grow, resulting in the release of spores into your home’s living space. Such undesirable particles result in indoor air pollution that can affect the health of those living in the building.

The only way to avoid serious duct contamination is to have a qualified service provider clean all of the components of your duct system. Components that should be cleaned include supply and return air ducts, diffusers, registers, grilles, heat exchangers coils, condensate drain pans, fan motors housing, condensate drain pans, the air handling unit housing and other associated components. Failure to clean one or more of these components can result in re-contamination of your home.

In a typical air duct cleaning, our technicians will use special tools to dislodge contaminants and debris from duct surfaces. Next, we will use a high powered vacuum to remove the debris into one of our trucks. Once this is completed, Bruce’s Commercial and Residential Services will sanitize your air ducts with biocides to kill microbial agents that will keep your HVAC system cleaner for a longer period of time.

Living In Arizona Creates Greater Duct Contamination

The desert climate of Chandler and surrounding areas of Phoenix’s East Valley naturally lends itself to contamination of HVAC systems with dust. Thus, it is doubly important to have periodic air duct cleaning to avoid the problems associated with contaminated systems. Call Bruce’s Commercial and Residential Services today to have one of our qualified technicians come out to assess the state of your HVAC system and recommend duct cleaning and other essential maintenance services.
