5 Signs Your A/C Needs Repaired

Apr 8, 2021 | Air Conditioner, Cooling, HVAC

1) Blowing Warm Air

The first sign is the most obvious. If your A/C blows only warm air, it might mean your A/C compressor isn’t working. Or, it could mean your refrigerant levels are low or you have a leak in the line. Regardless of which is the cause, however, if your air conditioner isn’t blowing cool air like it should, you should call us right away.

2) Strange Odors 

Odors, or unusual smells, are a strong good indicator of when something is amiss. Often, a sort of toasty or burnt smell indicates wire insulation within the system is burned, or is burning, and requires immediate attention. Musty, pungent smells are often indicators of mold, which is a serious health hazard that needs to be taken seriously.

3) Moisture Buildup, Condensation

Is there any moisture or water leakage around your A/C unit? If so, you might have a problem. Nevertheless, sometimes this is a relatively minor problem. Something could be blocking the drain tube that channels the condensation away from your unit. If this is the case, it’s in your interest to repair it as soon as possible to prevent the chances of mold. Occasionally, moisture in this area can be from a refrigerant leak, which is a far more severe concern. Whatever the case, you should address the problem quickly to prevent additional problems from developing.

4) Strange Noises

Air conditioners are made to run fairly noiselessly. Although you might notice a sound emanating from the motor, you should not be hearing any grinding, screeching, or other harsh noises. The faster you get to the bottom of these noises with the help of an expert, the better off your system will be. Typically, these sorts of issues can be corrected before you have to replace the unit completely.

5) High Humidity

A big part of an air conditioner’s function is to extract humidity from the air within your residence. If you start to observe water pooling around your windows or notice there’s a sticky feeling to the air within your home, this is a strong indication that your A/C is not functioning properly. We urge you to give us a call if you are dealing with this or any of these issues.
