Why HVAC Equipment Malfunctions Increase During the Summer Season

Introducation

As temperatures soar in the summer, HVAC systems work tirelessly to maintain indoor comfort. However, this peak demand period often leads to an increase in equipment malfunctions. At Associated Technical Services, we understand how vital a functioning HVAC system is during the hottest months. Let’s explore why these issues arise and how you can prevent them.

Reasons Of Malfunctions

1. Overworking the System
During the summer, HVAC systems operate for longer hours to combat extreme heat. This constant strain can lead to overheating, wear on components, and eventual breakdowns. Compressors, fans, and motors are particularly prone to failure when overburdened.
2. Dirty Air Filters

High usage often means air filters become clogged more quickly with dirt, dust, and allergens. A dirty filter restricts airflow, making the system work harder to cool your space, which can lead to frozen coils or reduced efficiency.

3. Refrigerant Issues

Refrigerant leaks are another common problem that surfaces during summer. Insufficient refrigerant levels compromise the cooling process, causing the system to run inefficiently or stop working altogether.

4. Electrical Problems

With increased usage, electrical components like capacitors, relays, and wiring face more wear and tear. Frequent start-stop cycles can cause these components to fail, leaving you without cooling at the worst possible time.

How to Prevent Summer HVAC Malfunctions

At Assosiated Technical Services, we recommend the following steps to keep your HVAC system running smoothly:​ 
  • Schedule Routine Maintenance: Regular inspections help identify and resolve potential issues before they escalate.
  • Replace Air Filters: Change filters monthly during peak usage to ensure optimal airflow.
  • Check Refrigerant Levels: Ensure your system has adequate refrigerant to handle summer cooling demands.
  • Inspect Electrical Components: Have an expert examine the system’s electrical parts to prevent failures.

Conclusion

Summer HVAC malfunctions can disrupt your comfort and lead to costly repairs, but proactive measures can make a significant difference.
