Top Signs Your AC Needs to Be Repaired

Having a broken AC in hot, humid weather is the last thing that you desire. In this situation you might be tempted to trying to fix the air conditioner yourself. Keep in mind that a professional company will have the experience to make your repair promptly. Additionally, hiring a professional will save time and your repair will be handled correctly. Here is when you know that it is time to call a professional for air conditioning repairs.

Does Your Home Or AC Have Power?

Believe it or not, we get two or three calls from homeowners yearly where we show up only to find out that the house and maybe even the whole vicinity has no electricity. This is embarrassing and it causes some bad feelings when the repairman wants to collect payment for a service call just to say, "Call us back when the power comes on." Make certain that you have electrical power to your air conditioning system prior to call for a repair.

Rapidly Increasing Electric Expenses

Have you noticed that your electrical bills are escalating at alarming rates? Do you seem to get more expensive electrical bills with every summer? While electricity costs generally go up as opposed to down, the increases should not be terribly dramatic. Heating and cooling expenses are a major component of most household's budget. However if these bills grow excessively, it can be indicator that your HVAC system should be replaced.

Hot And Cold Spots In The Home

Do hot spots in your house encourage you to remain in different parts of the home because they are more comfy? Are there rooms in your house that don't seem to get cool at all? Irregular cooling is a clear sign of inefficient air conditioning system operation. Areas of your home that are exposed to direct sunlight or that on upper floors may get warmer than other areas. However, an efficient A/C system should still be able to make them comfortable.

The Unit Continues To Come On And Off

An air conditioner or heat pump that is cycling off and quickly back on or cycling off and on every 10 seconds is abnormal and is likely to harm the equipment. To reduce further damage, we recommend that the ac system be turned off. Often this situation is caused by a faulty control board or relay problem.

Your AC Doesn't Sound Right

Of the various irregular sounds an AC can make, rattling is one of the most common. We have often make service calls for rattling air conditioning. If you start hearing your air conditioning rattle, contact us, and we will get right out to you to uncover what the trouble is and fix it before it turns into bigger trouble.

Loose panels on the air handler can also create sounds. Rattles typically come from panels like this. Occasionally the panels on the cabinet housing the condenser or the evaporator will become dislodged as a result of screws that have worked loose or weren't screwed tight enough after the panel was opened. Before considering other issues, make sure the panels are secure.

Debris also causes weird noises. The inside of the air conditioner should be kept as clean. When the nearby area is not kept clean, debris can enter. This calls for prompt attention. This kind of dirt can cause a lot damage. Therefore, it is wise to find out how the debris got inside to stop it from occurring again.
