HVAC Maintenance: Common Problems You Might Encounter
Posted On: March 2, 2022
The battle against heat and humidity can be quite common during the warmer months. Some homeowners rely on their HVAC systems to keep them cool and comfortable, even on the hottest of days. This is why when HVAC systems break down, it is not always a bearable situation.
Here are several common HVAC problems that we should be aware of:
THERMOSTATS
Before checking for other problems in an HVAC system, check first the thermostat if it is turned on and set correctly. Thermostats control an HVAC system, so if it is not functioning correctly or if it is not turned on, then your AC unit won’t likely function well either.
REFRIGERANT
If your air conditioner unit is blowing air but not a cool one, then you may be low on refrigerant or there is a leak. One of the most commonly used refrigerants or coolants is Freon. If you own a unit that was manufactured prior to 2010 and is low on coolant or has a leak, then it can still qualify for a recharge (or more Freon) given that the unit is still functional outside the low coolant level. If it is not functional in addition to the low leak, then it has to be replaced with a newer unit made after 2010. Newer models now use a different type of Freon called R410a.
Only licensed technicians are allowed to purchase Freon so if you need professional HVAC assistance, then we are the right experts to call.
POOR HVAC MAINTENANCE
Poor maintenance is one of the leading causes of system malfunction or worse, system failure. Regular upkeep e.g. air filter replacement is necessary. Air filters catch dirt and allow clean air to pass through the system. It is important that you check and replace your air filters regularly – or else they can become blocked. When air is blocked, expect your HVAC system to perform poorly. It can also result in a frozen system, as cool air is unable to be distributed throughout the unit. Ideally, air filters should be changed every 1 to 3 months, depending on usage. The more you run the AC or you have the fan on, then the sooner your filters should be replaced.
ELECTRICAL FAILURES
When HVAC systems are turned on and off on a frequent basis, you will most likely experience electrical component failure. An AC unit has three components: compressor, condenser, and blower motor. These components disable or enable the heating and cooling functions when an HVAC system is turned on or off. The constant switching between on and off causes the components to wear out faster.

We wanted to get our AC replaced as it was 22-years old and added to this our furnace was costing more and more to repair. So, we decided to get both the furnace and AC replaced.
After going through a few quotes and product reviews we decided to go with Twintech. The three-men crew arrived early in the morning, wasted no time and got to work right away. By 2:00 pm, they were all done. Ive found their work to be top notch and they were completely professional. I had all my questions answered to my satisfaction both during the progress of their work and at end.
I have pleasure in recommending Twintech to anyone who is looking to get their furnace or Ac replaced

Our air conditioner died On a Saturday and within hours Dave came out to take a look and discuss replacement/repair options.
The new air conditioner was installed on the Wednesday. The new unit was installed quickly. The installers were friendly and cleaned up afterwards.
We noticed a slight leak around the furnace that night and they came out the next day and fixed the issue. It has been working great and is quieter than our previous unit.
Very satisfied and would highly recommend TwinTech.

I contacted TwinTech to replace my 20-year old A/C. Dave, their service rep, promptly replied and was at my home within 2 hours. He was friendly and knowledgeable and didn't try to upgrade or oversell their A/C units but suggested the best fit for my small 1000 feet bungalow. Although this was during a heatwave and very busy, they were able to fit me in 2 days later. The TwinTech crew installed a 1.5 ton Ducane A/C unit that is now running smoothly while maintaining a constant cooling temperature. The crew were very courteous, professional and efficient and I will definitely recommend TwinTech to family and friends. I much appreciated your great service.

TwinTech was a pleasure to deal with from the estimate through installation. We replaced a 28 year old a/c unit with one recommended by TwinTech's sales representative Dave who took the time to go over the product with us and answer any questions. The warranty is for 10 years parts and labour and they will complete the registration for you. Installation was by Greg (owner) and Mitch and Spencer who were quick and efficient and left everything clean and tidy.

Very professional, from the sales consultation and inspection to the final installation. Met every expectations we had for the job. A local business with great client support. We highly recommend. Twintech is a blue chip! Thanks!

I left a live chat message on their website that my air conditioning was not working. Within 1hr a representative called me to discuss my options.
The next day he came to the house to review my needs and give me a price for a new system. Price quoted was less than I expected and the installation was completed the following day. I found their salesman and the installers very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. All my questions were answered. Everything was properly explained in regards to what unit was needed and why, along with instruction where needed for use.
The installers made sure everything was working properly before they left.

This is to thank Twintech Heating and Cooling for their exceptional and timely service. Mitch, their technician was very courteous and generous with his time right from his first meeting with us. He not only took the time to check everything but also educated us on why we needed what he recommended. Greg and Mitch graciously accommodated us on our requested day and time for job to be done. They were both very courteous and responsive to our needs and special requests especially in a tight spot. The job was finished neatly and on time. Thank you Twintech for your great service !
