Common AC Problems in Karachi

During the summers, the heat gets unbearable in Karachi. On those hot, humid summer days, an air conditioner is a must. But what if your air conditioner starts dripping water? Or what if you hear a buzzing sound coming from the unit?

These signs can indicate that there’s trouble with your air conditioner. Ignoring these signs means that your AC will soon give you trouble. And who would want to sleep in the unbearable Karachi heat without an air conditioner?

5 Air Conditioner Problem Signs

As soon as you notice these problem signs in your AC, make sure that you call a technician to resolve the issue. If you ignore the signs, chances are that you will have to make do without AC during the nights when technicians aren’t available to come for a quick fix.

So, these are the signs to notice for the common AC problems in Karachi:

Water Dripping Inside – Clogged or Detached Drain Line

The AC works similar to the refrigerator. It condenses the air inside the room and disposes of the excess water through a drain line. Occasionally, Karachi faces extreme winds that could detach this drain line. Another reason why water drips is that the drain line is clogged.

Weak Airflow – Leaking Ductwork or Compressor Problem

If you notice that your AC is not pumping out cool air as effectively as it did before, chances are that there is a problem with your compressor. At times this also means that your ductwork is leaking. As soon as you notice this issue and there’s no fluctuation problem to explain it, call your technician to check out the issue.

At times the compressor problem is also caused because of voltage fluctuations. Since this is a common problem in Karachi in summers, it is important that you turn off your AC till the voltage is stable. Alternatively, you can install a stabilizer to keep the compressor unit from getting damaged because of the fluctuating electric supply.

Loud Noise from the Indoor Unit

The outdoor unit of the AC does make a sound when the compressor is working. However, if you notice that the indoor unit is making a scraping or buzzing noise, make sure that you don’t use the AC till the technician inspects it. The noise could be from a component that is out of place or needs lubrication. If you’re running the AC even if you hear this noise, chances are that it’ll damage the other components too!

Odd Smell – Burned Wiring

Fluctuations in voltage often cause wiring to burn. If you smell something odd when the AC is turned on, it means that there is something burning inside. Turn it off immediately before it does any damage to the compressor or the inverter chip (if you have an inverter AC).

Warm Air from the AC – Refrigerant, Compressor Issues

If your AC is pumping out warm air, it means that it is damaged. It could mean that the unit is low on the refrigerant and the technician will have to refill the gas. Another reason for this issue could be a problem with the compressor. At times even high voltage supply for just 2-3 seconds can cause damage to the inverter chip and the compressor. So, when there is such an issue, the AC will obviously not work. In this case no need to keep the unit running. Call the Service Expert technicians immediately to diagnose and fix the problem.

Final Words

Karachi faces a lot of voltage problems in the summer. At times when the electricity is restored after load shedding, even a 2 second high voltage supply could damage electronic appliances. Many of the problems with the AC occur because of these voltage fluctuations. If you notice any signs that the AC is failing, call a technician immediately so the broken parts or burned wiring doesn’t cause any more damage.

Make sure that you always call a technician who is trained to diagnose the problem correctly. The Service Expert has vetted professional AC technicians who have hundreds of hours of work experience. They can accurately detect the problem and only charge you for the damaged components and the service, nothing extra!
