The Signs Your AC Needs Repair

The sooner we can get on the scene, the better our chances of mitigating long-term damage. Call us when you notice these red flags: 

• Unusual noises from the unit: If you hear banging, screeching, or humming noises from your air conditioner, it’s a clear sign that something’s wrong. These sounds can point to loose parts, a failing motor, or debris inside the system. 
• Weak or uneven airflow: Poor airflow from your vents can make specific rooms feel hot and uncomfortable. This often indicates issues with the blower motor, ductwork, or clogged filters. 
• Warm air blowing from the vents: This means there’s likely a problem with the compressor, low refrigerant levels, or a thermostat issue. This not only disrupts your comfort but also forces the system to work harder than necessary. 
• Warm air blowing from the vents: This means there’s likely a problem with the compressor, low refrigerant levels, or a thermostat issue. This not only disrupts your comfort but also forces the system to work harder than necessary. 
• Spike in energy bills: Component wear, dirty filters, and refrigerant leaks can all cause your system to consume more energy. Repairing these issues can optimize the unit’s performance and hopefully lower your utility bills.
• Frequent short cycling: If your AC turns on and off more frequently than usual, it could indicate thermostat problems, an overworked compressor, or an improperly sized system. 
• Excess moisture or leaks: Puddles of water or noticeable leaks near your AC unit can signal a clogged drainage line or refrigerant leak. These issues damage your unit and can cause water damage inside your home. 
• Foul odors when the AC runs: Strange smells, such as musty or burning odors, could mean mold growth in the ducts, overheating components, or electrical issues.
