Dirty Filter

Air conditioners have filters that often get clogged and restricts the flow of air resulting in decreased efficiency and this reduces the air cooling ability of the air conditioner. This is a very common problem and occurs when the air conditioner is left uncleaned for a certain period of time. If the air filter is dirty, the main objective of the air conditioner will remain unfulfilled. Regular checking and maintenance of your air conditioner can increase the life of your filter. Generally, the manufacturer of the filter recommends replacing the filters once every few months. If you face any problems with your air conditioner, make sureto check out its filters.

Direct Sunlight

Direct sunlight could be another cause of air conditioning problems. If your air conditioner is located in a place where it receives sunlight directly, it will be under a lot of loads as it will have to try harder to provide cool air. This puts more pressure on the entire air conditioner. Thus,it is betterto keep the air conditioner in a shady place where your air conditioner is not in contact with direct sunlight. Otherwise, you can put down the shades and curtains of your windows which will prevent direct sunlight from entering and will keep in a little cooler.

Vibration

Air conditioners do make a lot of noise. This is generally due to the whirring fan and the sound of the compressor which keeps on cycling between on and off.  These noises are common as they are present in almost all the air conditioners. But apart from these, if you hear any vibrating noise, then this is a sign that there is some problem with your air conditioner. This could be due to the incorrect installation of your air conditioner. This problem can be corrected by following the installation manual which is generally provided along with your air conditioner. If this problem occurs a few months after installation, make sure that you review the installation manual in order to make sure that you haven’t missed any steps.

When their arent any seal around your window air conditioner, there might be chances that hot air is entering your room or cold air is getting out. This will decrease the efficiency of your air conditioner. So, makesure that all the gapings are completely sealed. You can also reseal using weatherstripping if necessary.
