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 are very pleased with the work done by Twintech. They were very professional from start to finish. Dave came to our home and gave us a very competitive quote for new high efficiency furnace and air conditioner. The installers were very courteous and professional. We would highly recommend them.

This review is late coming so my apologies to the amazing Twin Tech team! I contacted Dave at Twin Tech for a quote this past Feb (as I was collecting a few) and his recommendation was excellent. From the first meeting with Dave to the team installing the new furnace, not once did i feel uncomfortable . The team were extremely professional yet personable and clean and tidy. Decent companies still exist!
The new furnace just purrs and its just amazing the difference it has made!
(PS my sibling ended up getting a furnace from them as well)

The service was Twintech was excellent.
Dave our salesperson was easy to talk to and was professional. The unit recommended meets our needs and budget.
Greg and his team arrived on time for the installation and even got rid of the garbage the contractors left in our furnace.
Would definitely recommend Twintech.

Our old water tank was installed in 1997. Wasn't working as well as it should so we looked into a tankless as it is more efficient and a space saver! we had used Twintech in the past for a furnace cleaning and were satisfied with that so we decided to ask for a quote for the changeover. Gary arrived and provided the options and the quote fit within our budget so we decide to go with them after receiving a few alternative quotes from other companies. They did what the said would be done and it was completed within a reasonable time frame! Removal and cleanup of the old tank was seamless. We are now enjoying consistent and efficient Hot water! I recommend Twintech and would use them for future projects!

One of the most honest HVAC companies out there! Dave was very helpful and informative in helping us choose a new AC unit. While they werent the lowest quote, we went with them because we trusted Dave and he was the most honest guy out of the companies that quoted us.
Greg and his crew who installed the unit were very professional and did a great job. If I could do it over again I would choose Twintech again.
