The most common HVAC challenges are
the issues associated with airflow in the system. Some of the typical symptoms
related to the airflow problems include hot and cold air spots throughout the
space, pressure imbalance, no/low air coming from the house vents, and blow of
warm air by the AC system. Ignoring these symptoms may cause your system to
have compressor failure, which may call for a need to buy a new unit. Read this
article to become knowledgeable about some areas that cause airflow
complications in the HVAC unit.
Obstructed
condenser
The system of air-cooled in the air
conditioning unit has established on the outer side of a building. Its location
is one of the main causes of making it to be obstructed easily by leaves and
debris after they accumulate. This would cause HVAC sensors that are associated
with temperature regulation fail to function properly, hence making the system
to overheat. This issue can be solved by clearing the location around the
conditioning unit.
Registers and
vents blockage
Vent blockage is a common problem
in an office setting, particularly when individuals disagree on the setting of
a thermostat. For instance, the filing cabinet of a given office may be moved
close to the AC register, causing HVAC airflow to be compressed. The only
measure that you can carry out here is to ensure all registers and vents are
not blocked by furniture.
Clogged filters
Conditional filters play a crucial
role in keeping the equipment and duct out of the HVAC unit by filtering dust
and debris. Basically, clogging of the filters impedes proper airflow causing
cold and hot stuffy air in the room. Debris in the filters can also interfere
with the hvac sensors
hence causing intermittent heating and cooling of the room. This issue can be
solved by replacing the damaged AC filters according to the manufacturers'
instructions. This means that the frequency of filter change should be done at
least once per month.
Oversized AC system
This is the most common problem
than how you could have imagined. Some years back, when it comes to HVAC's
size, many people thought that “bigger is better.” But today, many individuals
have opened up their eyes and are aware that oversized units are mostly
inefficient and have frequent on and off cycling. This is a clear indication
that they cannot run at an expected period when removing the humidity from
space. Consequently, the room would remain uncomfortable and stuffy. This
problem can easily be solved by having the unit checked by the design
professionals of HVAC.
Thermostat issues
In most cases, a simple thing like
a faulty thermostat or a low battery can cause problems which can interfere
with the HVAC airflow. The thermostat is an HVAC sensor that plays a crucial
role in temperature regulation. Experts in this field can easily solve the
problem associated with it.
