5 Signs It May Be Time To Get Your Air Conditioner Repaired

Posted on: 28 December 2019

When an air conditioning system isn't running to the best of its abilities, it can make your home uncomfortable and may be wasting a lot of energy. There's no point in continuing to run your air conditioner without first getting repairs done. This can save you money in the long run and it can ensure that you have a cool summer. Not sure if you need air conditioner repair? Here are some signs it may be time to get your air conditioner repaired: 

Warm Air is Blowing Out of Your Vents

If you've been noticing warm air blowing out of your vents, you likely have an issue that needs to be fixed. There may be a problem with your compressor or there may be a restriction in airflow that is causing the warm air. Call an air conditioner repair service if you notice this happening and a professional can find the source of the issue.

Your Unit is Cycling Often

It's normal for your system to cycle, but it should be at regular intervals. If you're noticing more frequent cycling or if cycling seems irregular, this may be a sign that you need repairs. This most likely is an indication that you need a tune-up, or it could be a sign that there is a much bigger problem at hand.

Your Unit Smells

If you notice a bad odor coming from your air conditioner unit, you may need to clean it out. An HVAC professional can address odor issues before they become a bigger issue and before they spread into your duct work.

You Hear Weird Noises

If you start to hear strange noises coming from your air conditioner, this is likely a sign that you need repair work done. A rattling sound can be a sign that you have a loose part or there may be other issues present. An HVAC professional will be able to assess the situation.

You Notice Leaks

If your air conditioner is leaking, that is a sign that your system isn't running properly. Make sure that you call an HVAC professional right away as leaks coming from your air conditioner could cause damage to your home.

If you notice any of the above warning signs, it's a good idea to contact a professional. They can find out exactly what's wrong and help you make necessary repairs so that you're able to enjoy the hot summer months and have a unit that runs efficiently.

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.
