If you live in a small place, or an older place in the Jacksonville, FL, area, then chances are you have wall unit air conditioners. Wall unit air conditioners are the small units you see in windows of smaller homes and apartments. Like any mechanical contrivance, these units do have repair issues from time to time, and when they do, call a professional repair technician.
A professional technician in ac repair Jacksonville will have all of the knowledge to make repairs to your wall-mounted air conditioner. Many times these small units need a compressor replacement. This is not a difficult job, but it does require reclaiming the refrigerant gas, Freon, from the unit. Your repair technician will be able to remove and reinstall the Freon. It is illegal to release Freon gas into the atmosphere, and the Federal government will fine you for doing so. Besides, your ac unit will not function correctly without Freon gas. In addition to the Freon gas, the compressor will have to be unsoldered and resoldered into place with a torch and solder. Chances are the average homeowner will not have any of the tools necessary to complete this task, but the technician will have everything needed with them on the service truck.
If the homeowner has solder and a torch, does the homeowner have a replacement compressor and refrigerant reclaiming system? It is highly unlikely to be the case. The ac repair Jacksonville technician will have at least one if not several compressors on the service truck. Since ac units come in different sizes, the repair technician is likely to have several, universally appropriate compressors on the truck.
Removing and reinstalling a window ac unit can be a daunting and difficult task. If the homeowner happens to make a careless mistake, they are responsible for the damages. A repair technician, licensed, bonded and insured, will be protected in the case of a catastrophic accident or mistake. There will be no charge to the homeowner if damage occurs. You depend on your window ac unit to cool your home. Summers in Jacksonville can be brutally hot and dangerously so for the elderly and infirm. If something happens to your ac, contact a professional repair service immediately. The sooner you do; the cooler you will become.
