Signs That You Are Having Trouble With Your Central Air System

Posted on: 7 August 2019

Since you probably do not want to find yourself without any cooled air in your home, you will want to make sure that you are keeping an eye out for signs that you need to call for HVAC services. The sooner you spot trouble with your central air conditioning system, the more likely it is that you will be able to get the issues with it resolved. The longer you wait for repairs, the more likely it is that too much wear and tear have occurred, and the repairs will either be more expensive, or you will have to invest in a brand-new unit.

The Rooms Are Never Cold

You might have had the occasional days when the rooms inside of your home actually start to feel a little too cold. This is when you might start to make adjustments to the thermostat so the house does not get too cold. However, if you are starting to find that no matter what the thermostat is set at that the house is never getting chilly, you have an issue that you will want to have addressed with an HVAC professional. The issue could be something as simple as the need for a thermostat replacement. Then again, it could be something wrong with the central air unit. It could simply need some more coolant added to it.

The Unit Is Making A Lot Of Thumping Sounds

You might not be able to hear anything coming from the central air unit while you are inside. This is why it is important to make sure that you go outside to check it out a couple of times a week. Just stand by it for a moment to see if you hear or spot anything unusual. If you start to hear odd sounds, like thumping sounds, then you are going to want to shut off the unit and call for HVAC repairs. If you allow the unit to continue to operate, there is a good chance that the problem will get worse, and therefore more expensive to repair.

Always make sure that you are getting in touch with a skilled HVAC repair technician as soon as you feel that there might be something wrong with your central air system. Even if it turns out that it was nothing, at least you will know and that you didn't take the risk of the unit completely failing because of issues not taken care of. Contact a company like Soco Air Conditioning for more information.

Summer is Upon Us – Is Your AC Working?

Hi. My name is Laurie Waters. The HVAC contractor was just out at our house last week and did I ever get a lesson from him. You see, we had a warm spell hit and I went to turn our air conditioning on for the first time since last summer. Much to my dismay, it wasn’t working. All I got was a blast of warm air. The fan was bringing the outdoor heat inside. Thank goodness it wasn’t anything major. My unit needed Freon. While he was here, the contractor taught me how to do some routine maintenance around my unit, vents, and filters. I’m going to share this information with you. I hope you find it to be useful.
