Burnt Out Motors in an AC: Detection and Prevention

Monday, August 19th, 2024

An air conditioning system uses several motors to operate. This is where most of the electrical power goes, and the reason you see an increase in your electric bills during the summer. The most powerful motor drives the compressor, the heart of the AC. There are several other motors in operation, such as the blower fan motor responsible for the circulation of air through a house and moving warm air across the evaporator coil to cool it down.

Motors have a finite service life. They will eventually wear down and need to be replaced. With proper care, you can help keep the motors in your AC running until it’s time to have the entire air conditioner replaced (usually in the 10 to 15-year range). But motors may run down earlier. Learn more about how long you can expect your AC to last to determine whether repair or replacement makes the most sense.

We’re going to look at signs you have motors in trouble and the ways you can help keep your AC’s motors running with proper maintenance and air conditioning system repair in Loganville, GA.

Yikes! Why Are My AC Bills So High?

Monday, August 19th, 2024

Unless you have an electric water heater or furnace, the air conditioner is the most electrically demanding indoor appliance in your house. When an AC switches to cooling mode, it can consume around 3.0 kilowatts per hour per hour. By comparison, just running a ceiling fan consumes 0.025–0.075 kilowatts per hour. When you have to run your AC regularly, you can expect to see an increase in your regular electric bills.

But if you’ve had the same AC for several years, you’ll have an understanding of how much that increase will be during the summer. When that increase starts to seem abnormally high and you know you aren’t doing anything different with cooling your home, it’s something to pay attention to. You may need to schedule AC repair in Warner Robins, GA with our team. You might even need to consider replacing the air conditioner. In some cases, an oversized AC system can contribute to higher bills by cycling on and off too quickly, leading to wasted energy.

We’ll look into why an AC might become a massive power-draining below. This will help you know what you need to do to get those costs under control.

You may occasionally have to go to the circuit breaker panel in your home to reset a tripped breaker. Some appliances can create power surges that trip breakers, although this should never be something that happens regularly. 

Because your AC is one of the most powerful electrical appliances in your home (often the most powerful), it might trip the power breaker if it’s pushed for too long. However, if the AC is tripping the circuit breaker repeatedly, then it means something more serious is wrong. You may need to schedule air conditioning repair in Forsyth, GA. Below, we’ll look into why this might happen.

The Reasons an Oversized AC Is a Problem

When you install a new central air conditioning system for your home, one of the most important decisions to make is the size of the AC. This doesn’t refer to its physical size, but the amount of cooling power it can provide. If an air conditioner is undersized, it won’t be able to cool the house enough to reach the target temperatures on the thermostat. 

But what about an oversized AC? That doesn’t sound so bad—having too much cooling shouldn’t be a problem. 

Unfortunately, you can’t err on the side of being too big with an AC. An oversized air conditioner will create many problems. If you plan on an air conditioning replacement in Maysville, make sure you work with professionals like ours so your AC will be the exact size it needs to be. This guide to what size AC your house needs offers more insight into how sizing is calculated and why it matters.
