HVAC Repair - What to Do If Your Air Conditioner Breaks Down


If your air conditioner has broken down you will need to get it either repaired or replaced. You can find air conditioning repair agents in the local paper, the yellow pages or through the company that installed your system. What should you expect from an air conditioning repair technician? Below is some advice in regards to repairing.

Before ringing an agent, there are a few things you should do. Firstly, take down the model number and serial number of the unit. You should write these numbers down from the indoor and the outdoor unit if possible. Usually these numbers will be located on a sticker located to the side or back of the unit.

When ringing the repair agent, try to ring a company that deals with the brand of unit you have. If the company you are dealing with also works with the same brand, you will be more likely be able to find parts for your air conditioner.

You should get a few quotes on either fixing or replacing your faulty air conditioner. Sometimes it will cost just as much to fix the unit than to replace the whole unit. Some repairs may also only be temporary so ask the repair agent what action they recommend. Remember, it is often better to start fresh with a new unit full of modern technology than to persist with fixing an old unit that continually breaks down.

Ask for what warranties are offered with the air conditioning repair work. Be sure to ask if these warranties cover both parts and labor if the air conditioning unit was to break down again.

These tips will help with your air conditioning repair work. Follow these tips and you will be cool (or warm) in no time.
