Common HVAC Issues

HVAC systems are complex, and, over time, they can develop various issues affecting their efficiency and operation. 

Some of the most common HVAC problems and their typical causes include:

• Inadequate heating or cooling: This could be due to an unbalanced distribution system, leaks in ductwork, or a mismatch between the HVAC unit size and the space it’s meant to heat or cool.
• High energy bills: If your energy bills are unusually high, it could mean your HVAC system is not operating as efficiently as it should be. This could be due to dirty filters, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a lack of insulation.
• Strange noises: Banging, squealing, or rattling noises can indicate a mechanical problem with your HVAC system. This could be due to loose parts, motor problems, or a lack of lubrication.
• Frequent cycling: If your HVAC system is frequently turning on and off, it could be due to a dirty filter, a faulty thermostat, or a system that is too large for your space.
• Foul odors: Unusual smells coming from your HVAC system could indicate mold or bacterial growth in your ductwork, which can be a serious health hazard.
• Uneven temperatures: If some rooms in your home are too hot while others are too cold, it could be due to issues with the ductwork, insulation, or the HVAC system.
• Leaking or frozen coils: This can occur if your system’s refrigerant levels are too low, leading to iced-over indoor coils and possible leaks.
