Is my new Window AC defective?

I'd be glad to help you troubleshoot whether your new Window AC is defective.


Here are some troubleshooting tips you can follow to determine the issue:


No Cooling or Weak Cooling: Ensure that the temperature settings are correctly adjusted.


Check if the AC's cooling mode is active and not set to just fan mode.


Make sure the air filter is clean and not clogged, as a dirty filter can reduce cooling efficiency.


Verify that the AC is properly sized for the room.


An undersized unit might struggle to cool effectively.


Strange Noises: Some level of noise is normal, but if you're hearing unusual or loud noises, it could indicate a problem.


Rattling or clicking sounds could be due to loose parts.


Make sure all panels, grills, and components are securely attached.


Squealing or grinding noises might indicate a problem with the fan motor or other moving parts.


Water Leakage: A small amount of condensation or water near the unit is normal.


However, excessive leakage can indicate a problem.


 Check if the drainage system is functioning properly and not blocked.


Electrical Issues: Ensure that the AC is properly plugged in and receiving power.


If the AC keeps tripping the circuit breaker, there could be an electrical issue or the unit might be overloading the circuit.


Remote Control or Panel Issues: If the AC is operated using a remote control, check if the batteries are functional and properly inserted.


Make sure the control panel on the AC unit itself is responsive and not displaying any error codes.


Odors: New AC units might have a slight odor initially, but persistent or foul smells could indicate mold or other issues.


Clean or replace the filter and ensure proper ventilation.


Insufficient Airflow: Check if the air vents and filters are clean and unobstructed.


Ensure that curtains or furniture are not blocking the airflow from the AC.


Temperature Inaccuracy: Use a separate thermometer to check if the temperature displayed on the AC matches the actual room temperature.


Remote Control Problems: If the remote control isn't working, try replacing the batteries and ensuring there are no obstructions between the remote and the AC unit.


If you've gone through these troubleshooting steps and the issues persist, or if you're unsure about performing any of these steps, it's advisable to contact the manufacturer's customer support or a professional technician.


They can provide further guidance and assistance based on the specific model of your Window AC.

by Anna Chin, Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

On one of the coldest days of winter, our furnace stopped working. Our regular furnace company came and told us we had a CO2 leak and shut us off. Their quote for a new furnace was way too high and they couldn't even install it on the same day. TwinTech was recommended to us by a friend. We called and spoke to Dave who was very nice and knowledgeable. Grant showed up a short time later and a new furnace was installed the same day with no troubles at all. Best of all, we received a higher-end furnace than what was offered by our previous company and at a cheaper price. I would recommend TwinTech with no hesitation at all.

by Hiba, Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I installed a new furnace and Air conditioner with them. The installation is of high quality and according to standards. The guys are professional and reasonably priced.. I highly recommend them.

by Robert, Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Had new furnace installed and ran into some difficulties but the contractor responded in a timely and efficient manner - after further service calls were made, a reasonable resolution was found.

by Brian Burns, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

The work was done quickly efficiently neatly and professionally. Pleased with the service, information, product, and the company.

by Geoff, Port Perry on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Great sales member named Dave came in told us some amazing items and how they would be priced installed an all. We couldn’t believe it! The next day the ac was installed, that day one employee named Greg told us that our furnace was working way to hard and was causing us to use way too much gas. So two days later they came in an installed a new furnace!

by MB, Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Installation was done quickly and professionally. The new furnace is quiet and provides even heat.

by Richard from Oshawa on Twintech Heating and Cooling

They removed and discarded old furnace. Installed new furnace. Installed air intake pipe, that had never been installed by builder, no charge. Replaced loose hose on floor with hard pipe and rerouted it to drain, no charge. Almost 33% cheaper then quote from Enercare, which was the company we dealt with and had insurance with for 8 years. No yearly fee for cleaning/insurance, saves 300 a year. Courteous, professional, fast, and friendly. My wife and I have been recommending them to everyone we know and meet, and will continue to do so. Thanks for everything, Twintech!!!

by Darcy from Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

This company was great to deal with. Our furnace went down and they installed a new furnace the next day with a lot of professionalism!

by gillian hooton from Uxbridge on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Finally! An honest company with highly knowledgeable and informative staff. Had a furnace service and found multiply errors in our system from an amateur installer. Very fair price to correct problems and will definitely use again.

We are very happy to recommend this company to everyone. Our furnace broke down on Sunday morning. We phoned them and before noon Grant the owner showed up. He worked on the furnace for about a hour not wanting to give up to fix the problem. The furnace was 17 years old. I was the one talking about replacing it. End result was the next day it was all done. On the Sunday Bob came over with heaters to warm up the house. We decided to replace the water heater at the same time. Thanks Grant for the excellent work. Thumbs up.

by Linda on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Right on time. Explained how to work the HRV in a different way so the house would not be so dry. Changed my whole house water filter for me as well. Friendly, helpful, caring service!

by Robert Rogers on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Very pleased with the professional service that TwinTech Heating and Cooling provided in replacing my furnace. I got several quotes from different service providers. Their price was excellent and they explained the features very well. We are very glad we went with TwinTech and highly recommend their services.

by Robert Mizuno on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We were new homeowners in need of a second opinion. TwinTech Heating & Cooling were Amazing and professional. Very knowledgeable and great service all around. Recommend to anyone looking for honest and reliable services. Treated with respect and care. Thank you Greg, Mitch and Bob!

by Ruth on Twintech Heating and Cooling

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!
