Faulty HVAC Systems

Heating, cooling and air conditioning (HVAC) systems use a number of electronic components and safety measures and procedures to control and manage the flow of current in your system and to ensure that it will not impose any harm to you or your unit. Issues like faulty wirings, loose connections and exposure of broken wires can damage the HVAC system, which may cause your furnace to stop working.  It is important to address these problems directly and professionally as it may determine your fate, health, and expenses.

Different types of electrical wires actually supply current to different components of the HVAC system. As the days pass, these wires may lose its original capacity. They may get dislodged or lose contact with its power source, thus resulting in discrepancies on how your HVAC system works. This will also disrupt the current flow to the component in which it detached from, thus causing malfunctions and system failures.

Cases of electrocution are sometimes linked to exposed wires. A bare wire which may have been damaged intentionally or due to normal wear and tear may result in one’s death if you accidentally touch it while the current is still flowing. Not only that, but it can damage your appliances as well. When there is a bare wire around your appliances, specifically your HVAC systems, this may impose huge threats to your health, safety, and property as it may lead to electrocution or fire and also damage your equipment if it comes in contact with water or another live wire. One thing you can do is to check for stripped and pinched wires in your system, but do not ever touch them. Sometimes, they may be hidden in the walls and pathways and not easily located without a professional technician. So also be careful when being around the area of your HVAC system.

Faulty Wiring

When an electrical wire receives more current than it can handle, the wire shorts out. A short circuit damages equipment and can even cause a fire hazard. This mostly happens due to a power outage and worn-out wires. Often, a wiring issue can be at the component level due to an incorrect type of fuse, bad capacitor, or faulty thermostat.

If running your AC trips the circuit breaker, it is usually due to faulty wiring, though blocked airways may cause tripping. Sometimes, the fan in the outdoor unit may stop running when it reaches the maximum speed. In extreme cases, your AC may not start at all.
