Many do-it-your-self home-owners often wonder what the most common air conditioning problems are. Well here is a short list and brief description of the top 5 AC problems we come across:

1. Leaky Ductwork: This occurs most often and is a common problem for homes that cool, but do not cool enough. Whenever you are having a new system installed look for a company or contractor that will guarantee the ductwork for at least 7 years.
2. Lack of Freon: Over time the freon in the exterior unit can need re-charging and this is a common problem especially in older AC units.
3. Exterior Unit Too Small: Many times the exterior unit may be designed to cool a smaller space than it is being used to cool. In this situation the exterior unit will most likely need to be upgraded.
4. Poorly laid out Ductwork: Proper placement and size of the ductwork and vents that bring cool air into each area of the home is critical for an air conditioning system to function properly.
5. Thermostat Issues: A broken or damaged thermostat can bring down an entire A/C system.

These are just the top 5 problems and we encounter many more in homes everyday. If you are trying to diagnose a problem in your home system, this is a great place to start. Always remember to call a reputable HVAC specialist to ensure that your system is repaired properly.
