If you’re looking for help fixing your American Standard Air Conditioner, look no further! Our comprehensive American Standard Air Conditioner Troubleshooting guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and show you how to read your model’s error codes.

The Air Conditioner Won’t Turn On  In addition to checking for problems in your household fuse box, make sure to check the settings at your thermostat. You may simply have forgotten to set a temperature level that will cause your A/C to kick in at the expected time. Also, in some situations, a power surge or a tripped breaker may cause your American Standard air conditioner to turn itself off. You can troubleshoot this issue by checking the relevant switches on the indoor and outdoor units.

The Air Conditioner Won’t Cool Properly  In some circumstances, your American Standard air conditioner may turn on, but fail to provide adequate cooling for your home. Two easily solvable air conditioning problems may be responsible for this issue. First, check your thermostat settings and make sure that you have them set low enough to turn the system on at the appropriate time. Also, look for any open windows you might not have noticed previously. If undetected, even one such window can seriously decrease your system’s cooling power. The underlying cause of air conditioning problems like improper cooling may also be a malfunction in an A/C component called a compressor, which normally moves refrigerant through the system.

Lack of Adequate Airflow  A malfunctioning A/C system may fail to circulate enough cool air throughout your home. One of the key causes of this problem is a dirty filter somewhere in the system. To troubleshoot this issue, check all relevant locations and replace any filter with obvious signs of dirt/dust accumulation. Lack of adequate air conditioner airflow may also be the result of a dirty condenser coil. Problems in this area often arise when something obstructs the passage of air into your outdoor A/C unit (common candidates include leaves, debris and nearby hedges.) In turn, the obstructed flow of outdoor air can literally cause the system to freeze up. Look for telltale signs of water on the ground beneath the unit. If you notice any water spots, clear away all obstructions and turn the system off for a few hours. This should give the unit time to thaw out.

Indoor Air Conditioner Leaks  All air conditioners generate significant amounts of condensation during normal operation. Depending on where you live, the water produced by this process can total as much as several gallons a day. This large amount of water must have somewhere to go. Usually, it’s drained from your air handler through an attached tube or a section of PVC pipe. From there, it’s forced outside by gravity or a component called a condensate pump. If you notice water pools or active leaks below the indoor unit of your air conditioning system, you have several potential troubleshooting options. First, look for cracks or leaks in the tube or pipe responsible for channeling condensation out of the unit. Next, look for any signs of obstruction within the tube/pipe. If ice is blocking the line, you can follow up by checking for dirty air filters and a lack of adequate refrigerant.

Strange Vent Noises  Strange or unusual noises coming from your air conditioning/heating vents have a number of possible causes. Most of the time, what seems like air conditioning problems is nothing more than furniture obstructing the system’s return or supply vent openings. However, the humming, thumping or rattling sounds you hear may also indicate the presence of a clogged air filter. Unfortunately, if your troubleshooting steps eliminate these potential candidates, you may have bigger problems, including worn-out A/C system components or poorly installed or inadequately sized air ducts.

What Our Clients Are Saying About Us » I would like to recommend your company to anyone February 26, 2021

Your company KDM Home & Gas has just installed the CV 50 water heater to my house. The installation process was so smooth. You guys put on the carpet runner in order to avoid any scratch and damage to the carpet and the floor. Your professional guidance has highlighted the B Vent should be installed for the chimney exhaust in order to comply with the building & safety code. You have even performed leak test & dial test in order to make sure the whole installation is in a perfect manner. The registration of the warranty is also very convenient and easy.

I really appreciated that you came to my house to inspect the situation and provide the quotation to me before we decide to get the new water heater. The whole process was so smooth and communicate very well. You return all my text message on the same day basis or even within short time. I would like to recommend your company to anyone.

Don GibsonMarkham, Ontario I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a professional job at a reasonable price February 26, 2021

I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a professional job at a reasonable price.

Don BlakeWhitby, Ontario I would recommend KDM Home Gas to anyone looking for quality home repair services February 26, 2021

Daniel was really great to work with. His communication and genuine care for the work being done made all the difference in the world to me especially as we’ve never had good experiences with contractors in the past.

Daniel showed up when he said he would, and took his time to explain to me what caused my humidifier to malfunction. His customer service skills are superior and his quality workmanship made the experience a pleasant one.

I would recommend KDM Home Gas to anyone looking for quality home repair services to their heating or cooling units.

He offered a fair price and a few different products to choose from, and was able to do the installation the same week. I would recommend KDM Home & Gas to anyone looking for great service at a good price.
