AC Repairs
There are several signs that might indicate your AC needs repair. Here are some common ones to watch out for:
Weak Airflow: If you notice the air coming from your vents is weak or inconsistent, it could be due to a dirty filter, a blocked duct, or an issue with the blower fan.
Warm Air: If your AC is blowing air, but it’s warm or not cold enough, the refrigerant might be low, the compressor could be failing, or the condenser coils may be dirty.
Strange Noises: Weird sounds like grinding, rattling, or squealing can indicate mechanical issues like worn-out parts, loose components, or a failing motor.
Foul Odors: A musty or burning smell from your AC unit could mean mold, mildew, or something overheating inside the system.
Water Leaks: If you notice water pooling around your AC or dripping inside, it could mean the condensate drain is clogged, or the system is frozen and defrosting.
Frequent Cycling: If your AC is turning on and off too often, it could be a sign of an electrical issue, a malfunctioning thermostat, or an overworked unit.
High Humidity: If your home feels more humid than usual despite the AC running, it could be a sign that the system isn’t effectively removing moisture from the air.
High Energy Bills: A sudden increase in energy costs could indicate that your AC is working harder than it should, possibly due to a malfunctioning part or inefficient operation.
