Call us when any of these red flags flare up:
Warm air: Maybe the most basic warning sign is when your unit blows warm air when your thermostat is requesting cool air. This could be due to a refrigerant leak, compressor problems, or issues with the thermostat.
Unusual noises: If your air conditioner starts making strange noises like grinding, squealing, or banging, it’s a clear indication that something is wrong. These sounds can be caused by various issues, such as loose parts, motor problems, or debris in the unit.
Weak airflow: This can be caused by clogged filters, ductwork obstructions, or problems with the blower motor. Reduced airflow not only affects your comfort but also forces your AC unit to work harder, leading to higher energy bills and potential system failure.
Frequent cycling: If your air conditioner constantly turns on and off, it’s known as short cycling. This can be caused by a malfunctioning thermostat, refrigerant leaks, or electrical issues. Short cycling strains your AC system and can reduce its lifespan.
Foul odors: Unpleasant smells coming from your air conditioning system can be a sign of mold, mildew, or bacterial growth within the unit or the ductwork. These odors not only affect indoor air quality, but can also pose health risks to you and your family.
High humidity levels: Your air conditioner plays a key role in controlling indoor humidity. High humidity levels can lead to discomfort, mold growth, and damage to your home’s structure and furnishings.
Rising energy bills: An unexplained increase in your monthly utility costs can be a sign that your AC system is not operating efficiently. Issues such as dirty filters, refrigerant leaks, or worn-out components can cause your unit to consume more energy than necessary.
