Condenser Trouble
Your condenser converts the gaseous refrigerant into a liquid so it will work in your system more efficiently. When there's a condenser issue, your air conditioner will struggle to perform and your technician will find signs of leaks or worn tubes.
Problems With the Evaporator
This unit sits directly behind your dashboard and is responsible for removing excess moisture from the air before it blows into the interior. It's why you can have such fresh, cool air even on a humid day. If your evaporator fails, you'll notice excess moisture fogging up the glass and the air in the cabin feeling wet and muggy.
Air Conditioner Inspection Frequency
If your air conditioner is blasting cool air reliably, there's likely no need to have an inspection done. If you're noticing issues arise, however, it's time to have your technician take a look. They'll conduct a performance check that weighs the symptoms against the likely causes to make a diagnosis.
Maintaining Your System
It's a good idea to turn on your air conditioner for a few minutes each month during the off-season to let it run, so the parts stay in working condition. If it sits idle for five or six months before use, it may struggle with the sudden demand after such a long period of going unused. Running it for a few minutes each month keeps the system ready for use.
