Signs Your AC Needs Repair
How do you know when it’s time to repair your AC? Prevent issues from growing in severity and keep an eye out for signs like:
1) Lack of Airflow
Loss of normal airflow from your AC system means there’s an issue. A lack of airflow can be caused by duct blockages, clogged air filters, and in some cases, broken motors.
2) Only Warm Air is Coming from the Unit
Is warm air coming out of your unit when you’re expecting cool air? First, check to make sure the thermostat is set to “cooling mode.” If it is and the temperature setting is correct, airflow could be restricted or the system’s compressor could require repair.
3) Frequent Cycles
It’s normal for your AC system to experience occasional cycles. When cycling becomes constant, you should be concerned. Our AC repair and maintenance services can address this issue effectively and deliver the proper fix.
4) High Levels of Humidity
AC systems do an excellent job of regulating indoor humidity levels. If humidity levels are higher than usual in your home, it could mean something’s wrong with the system. Home Comfort Experts can diagnose the cause of this uncomfortable inconvenience and follow up with the necessary solutions to return indoor humidity levels to normal.
5) Water Leaks from the Unit
If you notice water pooling around your AC unit, it may indicate a troubling leak that could result in significant water damage. Contact Home Comfort Experts right away to address this issue professionally.
6) Presence of Foul Odors
If you're noticing unpleasant odors coming from your AC system, it's likely due to microbial growth. Home Comfort Experts can identify the source of these odors and offer reliable cleaning and repair services to eliminate them.
7) Unusual Noises
When an AC system is running smoothly, it's normal to expect minimal noise. However, sounds like grinding, buzzing, or rattling are definitely not typical. These strange noises usually indicate that there are loose or faulty components or parts that may be grinding against each other. If these issues are left unresolved, they can worsen and lead to more significant problems for your system.
A Home Comfort Experts AC technician can pinpoint the source of these noises and implement the right solutions to get your system back on track.
