Why does the air conditioner stop working in very hot weather but works well in cold weather?

Air conditioner not workingChances are. your AC is not cycling anymore. The most common reason that this happens is due to a small leak in the system that allows the refrigerant to escape and when enough has leaked out, the low pressure switch is activated to shut the compressor down to make sure that the compressor does not burn itself out. When this happens, you will notice the compressor running for a short time and then shutting off. The system needs to be recharged and then leak tested, repaired, and recharged. Generally, a fitting or a hose has leaked and once it is repaired you AC will work fine again. USING CRICKETSat night, when a cricket chirp, count how many chirps there are in one minute. After that divide the number by four then add thirty-seven. There's your temperature!


Does the air conditioner waste energy?

Air conditioners consume energy to cool the air, but they don't necessarily waste it.

Regular maintenance and proper usage can help minimize energy waste.

Your residential ac isn't cooling very well?

The first and most common check is to check the filter right inside the removable grill. If it is a window or wall unit central air check the filter by the evaporator inside the house. Make sure all fans are working. If it is a central air conditioner make sure the compressor is turned on outside the house,there is a small circuit panel located near the compressor unit that may have been shut off. Unless you have a working knowledge of your air conditioner it's best to call a reputable service company. If your air conditioner is a small window it might be smarter to replace the unit because a repair could cost more than a new air conditioner.
