My HVAC unit was not level
When I first moved into our rental home our building owner told me not to call about heating and air conditioning.
He went into some long speech about already servicing the unit.
He told me it worked fine! Well that was a total lie. I experienced one summertime and realized that the A/C wasn’t up to par. The air coming out of the unit was tepid. I was consistently hot and unhappy. I knew the guy would not call a HVAC contractor over the cooling unit. So I started looking up online on what to do. I changed the air filter which showed the cooling maintenance never happened. The filter was blocked with months worth of dust, debris and hair. That didn’t repair the A/C though. I vacuumed the inside of it plus checked the HVAC duct for any damage. Then I went to our outdoor unit and observed it was at an angle. The unit was only slightly tipped but enough that I observed. I started researching online if a tipped outdoor air compressor would affect the cooling of a heating and air conditioning unit. Turns out, yes it does. The refrigerant will pool to one side of the device and then the air won’t blow over it. So when the air coming from the compressor and through the HVAC duct hasn’t been cooled, it will feel hot. I bought some cement blocks to prop up our device and I leveled it. Now that it is all squared away, I have perfect cooling. I haven’t told our building owner yet that I fixed his cooling problems. When the guy won’t provide me our rental deposit back I will threaten to take the good A/C away.
