Air Conditioner Repair

Keeprite manufactures appliances that homeowners have come to trust. Even a trustworthy appliance requires occasional maintenance or repair, however. If you’re in need of Keeprite appliance repair from experienced professionals, your local Appliance Helper can help.

How to Replace Your Keeprite Air Filter 
How often you should replace your air filter depends on the size and location of your home as well as your specific climate. However, many experts suggest replacing filters every two months to maintain optimal performance. 

Turn off power to your Keeprite air conditioner 
Remove the access panel 
Locate the system’s air filter. Typically these can be found near the return air duct 
Remove the dirty air filter 
If the filter is reusable, clean it. Otherwise, grab yourself a new air filter 
Replace the cleaned or new air filter into the slot 
Close the access panel and return power to the air conditioner 

Do you find that your outside unit is only blowing hot air? 
If the compressor is operational, but the fan isn’t working, the condenser fan itself is likely defective. However, if the opposite is true, the unit might need more refrigerant or have a defective compressor. 
If the outside fan is working fine but the blower motor isn’t working, examine the blower motor for defectiveness. Additionally, you may want to check on the control board and run capacitor. 

Do you believe that your air conditioner isn't producing enough cool air? 
In this scenario, check to see if the compressor and condenser fan are both working properly. If this seems to be the case, but your home still feels uncomfortable, measure the system’s temperature drop. Your air conditioner will have to run for at least 10 to 15 minutes before you can take a reading. 
If the measurement appears too low, the unit’s refrigerant charger is likely defective. Alternatively, if the reading is much too high, then you will want to check on the blower motor, evaporator coil, and air filter. Anyone of these internal components might be dirty or defective. 

Do you find that cool air isn't circulating properly through the floor and ceiling registers? 
Check on the outside unit to see if the fan is working properly. If the fan isn’t performing correctly, the breaker associated with your air conditioner may be defective. However, if the breaker isn’t the issue, check on your system’s control board or thermostat. 

When to Get a Technician for Keeprite A/C Repairs 
Although you may be able to effectively diagnose the source of your Keeprite air conditioner’s problem, it’s typically considered more advisable to contact a certified HVAC technician when it comes to performing the repair. Air conditioning systems are an expensive investment; therefore you can fully protect your investment by bringing in trained heating and cooling professional. 
Additionally, many top companies will offer homeowners an extended labour warranty to ensure that their system is performing properly years after the fix.

Furnace Repair

Check the Furnace Power 
After verifying that the thermostat is set properly and is getting power, ensure that the furnace itself is getting power. Check fuses and the circuit breaker to ensure that power is getting to the furnace. Also, check the electrical switch at the furnace to make sure it is in the ON position. If maintenance or repair work has recently been done on the furnace, this switch may have accidentally been left in the OFF position. 

Reset the Furnace 
If your furnace has a reset button (it’s often a red button located on the front, side or back of your furnace), try pressing it. If the furnace powers up, you should soon have heated air cycling through your home once again. Sometimes, pressing the reset button is all that is required to get your furnace working properly. This button controls an automatic shut-off feature that shuts down the furnace if it gets too hot or if there are other problems. A furnace that frequently shuts off automatically may have other issues, such as a clogged air filter or blocked ducts that are causing the furnace to overheat. 

Check the Service Door Cover 
It is possible—particularly if you’ve recently changed your furnace filter or done other maintenance—that the door to your furnace has been left open or closed improperly. If this is the case, properly shutting the door cover on your furnace may fix the problem. 

Look for Filter Dirt 
Dirty furnace filters are one of the most common causes of furnace failure. A dirty furnace filter can limit the airflow through your furnace and cause it to overheat, which will shut it off automatically. If you suspect a dirty air filter, change the filter, press the reset button (if your furnace has one), and see if your furnace begins to emit heated air. Change your furnace filters regularly—pros recommend changing them once a month—to ensure that your furnace continues to work properly. Unaddressed, dirty furnace filters can cause extensive, and expensive, damage to your home’s heating system. 

Check the Standing Pilot 
If you have an older furnace with a standing pilot light, it’s possible that the pilot light is extinguished. First, confirm that the light is out. Then, turn the gas valve to the off position and wait five minutes. If there is a reset button on your furnace, turn the valve to the pilot position and hold a flame to the dedicated pilot gas tube while pushing the button for about 30 seconds. If the pilot doesn’t light on the first attempt, wait a few minutes and repeat the procedure, this time depressing the reset button for 45 to 60 seconds. 

Clean the Flame Sensor 
The flame sensor safeguards your furnace by ensuring that gas flows only when there is a flame to ignite it. A dirty flame sensor may cause your furnace to function improperly. Typically, the flame sensor comes in the form of a rod that can be found near the back of the furnace, right in the path of the burner. To clean the sensor, turn off power to the furnace at the breaker box. Then, if possible, remove the sensor from the furnace. Scrub the sensor gently to remove dust and other residues. Finally, reattach the sensor and restore power to the furnace.
