Why is My Air Conditioning System Not Cooling My Home?

If you notice that your air conditioning system in New Jersey is blowing warm or tepid air instead of cooling your home, then these are the most likely causes according to our plumbing supply company.

 

  • Dirty or old air filter – Air filters clear the incoming air of dust, pollen and dirt before it enters the air conditioning system. When this dirt builds up, the system will struggle to circulate enough cool air to lower the temperature, and may even freeze the evaporator coil, preventing you from getting any cool air at all. Check your air filter and if it looks dirty, it’s time to replace it.
  • Low refrigerant – Refrigerant levels will get lower over time or if a leak occurs. This liquid absorbs the heat from the air, so if it’s too low, your air conditioner won’t be able to effectively remove heat from your home. You may have a leak if there is ice build-up on the refrigerant line or outside unit, if you can hear a hissing or bubbling noise when the system is on, or if your system only seems to work on cool days/nights.
  • Dirty AC unit – The AC unit outside your home is the condenser, which works to remove heat from the air in your home. Because it’s outside, it can get pretty dirty, clogged up with leaves, or even become a home for pests. For it to work properly, it needs to be cleaned with a gentle spray of water from your hose. The area around the unit should be kept clear of weeds, dust and leaves, too.
  • Broken condenser fan – This is the fan inside your air conditioning system’s outdoor unit and is responsible for moving air through the system and pushing heat out of your home. If this is broken or faulty, the unit won’t work properly because air flow is compromised.

These are the Most Popular Kitchen Countertops – and it’s Not Hard to See Why!

Remodeling your kitchen? The kitchen countertops you choose will need to be durable and practical as well as attractive if you want to add value to your home. Here are the most popular kitchen countertops you can buy – and why they’re great.
Granite – Natural stone used to be found only in the most expensive and exclusive homes, but it’s such a great product that it’s become more affordable and more available over the years. Granite is very hardwearing as well as heat and stain resistant, coming in a wide range of colors including mottled white, deep black, reds, greens, greys and browns, all with naturally-occurring variegation. The most affordable granite is found off the high street at plumbing wholesalers.
Solid surface – This is a man-made countertop that’s created from acrylic or polyester, or a combination of both, and can include chips of natural stone. It’s stain and heat resistant, and small scratches can be easily buffed out, while any deeper damage can be filled, keeping them looking brand new. These countertops can come in any color or texture imaginable, including natural stone and a glamorous glitter effect.
Laminate – Laminate countertops have come a long way since their invention in the 1950s! New technology has made this product more beautiful and more durable than ever before, and it’s also the most affordable countertop option you can get. It’s made out of thin layers of MDF that is soaked in resin to make it hard enough to use in kitchens. It’s not as stain or heat resistant as the other countertops, and it can be cut by knives, but it will last decades if cared for properly. It’s also easy to install and many people use it for DIY kitchen projects.
