Should I fix AC myself or call a pro?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the recent heat wave, I noticed that the air conditioning unit in our living room keeps shutting off mid-cycle, and it's only a couple of months old. It’s really concerning since we’ve barely used it this summer due to frequent power outages. Should I try troubleshooting myself or is it better to call a professional?

Absolutely, facing such issues can indeed be quite frustrating, especially during the scorching summer months. Given your situation where the air conditioning (AC) unit keeps shutting off mid-cycle and considering it's a relatively new installation, it would be prudent to seek professional assistance rather than attempting troubleshooting on your own.
In Dubai, like in many regions of the UAE, AC units are subject to specific regulations aimed at ensuring they operate efficiently while maintaining indoor environmental quality. For instance, under the Building Code of Dubai (BCD), all air conditioning systems must comply with certain standards that ensure both safety and energy efficiency. These codes mandate regular maintenance checks and inspections to prevent malfunctions which can lead to potential issues such as those you're experiencing. Troubleshooting an AC unit without proper expertise could potentially exacerbate problems or even pose risks, particularly if it involves electrical work which is strictly regulated in the UAE. Attempting repairs yourself might not only void any existing warranty but also result in a suboptimal solution that fails to address the root cause of the problem effectively. Given this scenario, I strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with a certified professional who can diagnose and rectify the issue. Professionals from companies like Saniservice, for instance, are well-versed in handling such situations. They have the necessary tools, expertise, and knowledge to safely troubleshoot your AC unit, ensuring it operates efficiently and meets local standards. If you decide to contact Saniservice or any other reputable company, be prepared to provide detailed information about when the issue started occurring, whether there were specific circumstances leading up to the problem (like recent changes in usage patterns), and if you've observed any unusual behavior from the unit before it shuts off. This information can greatly assist the technician in diagnosing the problem swiftly. Remember, regular maintenance is key to prolonging your AC’s lifespan and maintaining its efficiency. Following a professional recommendation on whether an immediate repair or service visit is needed will help ensure your indoor environment remains comfortable and safe during these hot summer months.
