What Does it Mean to Have a Bad Condenser?

Have you recently had service and were told you have a bad condenser? There are two parts to your air conditioner. The inside part is your compressor and the outside part to the air conditioner is the condenser. The condenser is responsible for condensing the refrigerant from its gas state to a liquid state. It is a big part of your system so failure of it has many impacts. It can affect the performance, efficiency, and the life span of your air conditioner. You will notice an issue with your condenser when you notice your home not being cooled as well as before or not being cooled at all. When you let your condenser run when it is going bad, you run risk of it completely failing. You are also wasting money on your energy bills when you allow a faulty condenser to keep running because they use far more energy. There is a possibility that your condenser might just be dirty and is causing your home to not cool and you can simply fix that by getting your annual air conditioner clean and check. This should be done each spring to clean and inspect the air conditioner to make sure everything is running the way it is supposed to be. The technicians at Bartlett Heating and Air can clean and check any make and model. If your system is short cycling it might also be due to a blocked condenser. Clogged condensers affect the heat resistance of the unit and can lead to costly repairs. If your condenser is not running at all you can call the professionals at Bartlett Heating and Air and we can find a solution for you. If you maintain your air conditioner, you will likely catch any issues sooner than later and be able to fix them before they turn into bigger more expensive issues.
