Valley Air Conditioning Repairs and Cleans a Mitsubishi 6.3kW Split System Air Conditioner in Maryland, Newcastle

In Maryland, Newcastle, Valley Air Conditioning recently completed the repair and cleaning of a Mitsubishi 6.3kW split system air conditioner. The system had been blowing warm air instead of cooling the home, causing significant discomfort for the homeowner. Recognising the importance of a well-functioning air conditioner, especially with warmer weather on the horizon, our team was called in to diagnose and resolve the issue promptly.

Initial Air Conditioner Inspection and Diagnosis

Upon arrival, our first task was a thorough inspection of the Mitsubishi 6.3kW split system to identify the cause of the warm air issue. The customer had reported that the air conditioning unit, which had worked efficiently in the past, was now struggling to maintain a comfortable temperature inside the home.

We began by checking both the indoor and outdoor units. The indoor unit, responsible for circulating cool air, was examined for visible signs of damage or blockages. Next, we assessed the condition of the outdoor condenser unit, which dissipates the heat absorbed from inside the home. During this inspection, we identified two key problems: clogged air filters in the indoor unit and a potential refrigerant leak that was preventing the system from cooling effectively.

Cleaning the Air Conditioner Filters

One of the primary issues affecting the Mitsubishi air conditioner’s performance was the state of the filters. Air filters are essential for trapping dust, dirt, and other airborne particles, ensuring the air inside the home is clean and preventing contaminants from clogging the system. Over time, these filters become clogged, reducing airflow and making it difficult for the air conditioner to cool the room efficiently.

In this case, the filters were heavily soiled, contributing to the warm air problem. To resolve this, we carefully removed the filters from the indoor unit. They were covered in dust and debris, obstructing airflow and causing the system to strain under reduced efficiency. We took the filters outside and thoroughly cleaned them, using a gentle flow of water to ensure that all particles were removed without damaging the filters. After cleaning, we allowed them to dry completely before reinstalling them in the system.

Proper filter maintenance is critical for any air conditioning unit, as clean filters not only improve performance but also enhance indoor air quality and reduce energy consumption.

Addressing the Air Conditioner Refrigerant Leak

Once the filters were clean, we turned our attention to the outdoor condenser unit and the refrigerant levels. The refrigerant is the substance responsible for cooling the air inside the home. It absorbs heat from the indoor air and releases it outside, allowing the system to circulate cool air indoors. When refrigerant levels drop due to a leak, the air conditioner loses its ability to cool effectively and may start blowing warm air, as was the case with this Mitsubishi unit.

Using specialised equipment, we performed a pressure test on the refrigerant lines to determine whether there was a leak. Our tests confirmed that the system was low on refrigerant, and we pinpointed the location of the leak in the outdoor unit’s refrigerant lines. After identifying the leak, we proceeded with the necessary repairs to seal the damaged section of the line.

With the leak sealed, we recharged the system with the correct amount of refrigerant, ensuring it met the manufacturer’s specifications. This step was crucial for restoring the Mitsubishi split system’s cooling capacity. By repairing the leak and bringing the refrigerant levels back to the appropriate level, we could guarantee that the system would resume delivering cool air efficiently.

Air Conditioner System Performance Testing and Final Checks

With the filters cleaned and the refrigerant leak repaired, we proceeded with a series of performance tests to ensure that the Mitsubishi 6.3kW split system was operating correctly. We powered up the system, checking the airflow from the indoor unit, and measured the temperature of the air being circulated. This allowed us to verify that the system was once again cooling effectively.

Additionally, we listened for any unusual sounds or vibrations from both the indoor and outdoor units, which could indicate further underlying issues. Fortunately, the system was now running smoothly, delivering cool air consistently throughout the home.

We also provided the homeowner with a few maintenance tips to help prolong the lifespan of the air conditioner. Regular cleaning of the filters and scheduling annual servicing can help prevent problems like reduced cooling performance, refrigerant leaks, and unexpected breakdowns, particularly during peak summer months.

Importance of Regular Maintenance

This repair and cleaning service in Maryland serves as a reminder of the importance of regular air conditioner maintenance. In this case, the system had not been serviced in some time, leading to clogged filters and a refrigerant leak. By addressing these issues, we restored the unit’s cooling capacity and improved its overall efficiency.

Regular maintenance, including cleaning air filters, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting the outdoor condenser unit, can significantly extend the lifespan of an air conditioning system. It also helps maintain indoor air quality, reduce energy consumption, and prevent costly repairs down the road.
