Top 5 Signs It May Be Time To Repair Your AC
If your air conditioner is showing you signs of problems, you should have it repaired before the problem worsens. The last thing you want to deal with is a broken AC unit – especially in the middle of a hot Arizona summer. Here are the top 5 signs it may be time to repair your AC.
1. Blowing Warm Air
Your AC should never blow warm air. Warm air could be an indication that the compressor is broken, or you have low refrigerant levels. Usually this is something that can be easily repaired, unless there are bigger issues going on within your unit. The best way to know for sure is schedule an appointment with your local HVAC company.
2. Unusual Sounds
While you may hear the sound of your air conditioning unit kicking on, you shouldn’t hear any unusual sounds. For example, if you hear grinding, squealing, grating, or any other loud noises, it’s time to call your local HVAC company to schedule a repair. The longer you wait to address the problem, the bigger the issue can become.
3. Strange Smells
If it smells like something is burning, or your unit smells musty, then it could indicate an issue with your unit. Different smells can indicate different problems. For example, a burning smell can indicate that your AC is overheating. A musty smell, on the other hand, is usually a sign that there is mold growing in your unit. Not only are these smells rather unpleasant, but they can also be harmful to your health – and to your home.
4. Poor Airflow
Insufficient airflow is a sure sign that your air conditioner isn’t working efficiently – or there is a blockage of some kind preventing the air from moving through the ductwork. If you notice poor airflow, then you know it’s time to schedule a repair to figure out the source of the problem. Whether you have a clogged air filter, a broken motor, or something else, a trained professional will help you identify the issue and fix it accordingly.
5. Higher-Than-Normal Utility Bills
Usually, your bills are around the same price every month. When you notice a higher-than-usual bill come in the mail, it can be alarming. Sometimes this means that there is a leak in your ductwork, a broken thermostat switch, or your AC unit has reached the end of life. Whatever the cause may be, it’s always a good idea to have your local HVAC company check out your AC unit.
