Increasing Electrical Bills

Have you noticed that your electrical bills are increasing at alarming rates? Do you seem to get more expensive electric bills with every summer? While electricity rates tend to go up as opposed to down, the increases should not be terribly dramatic. If your energy bills seem out of control, the odds are high that your air conditioner system is at least partially culpable.

Unequal Cooling

Do you tend to prefer congregating in one specific room or portion of the home because it seems to stay a lot cooler? Are there rooms in your home that don't seem to get cool at all? Irregular cooling is a clear sign of inefficient air conditioning system operation. Areas of the house that are exposed to direct sunlight or that on upper floors may get warmer than other areas. However, a proficient AC system should still be able to make them enjoyable.

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 unusual and is likely to damage the equipment. To reduce further issues, we recommend that the cooling system be turned off. In most cases this problem is caused by a faulty control board or relay problem.

Strange Sounds Come From Your Air Conditioner

Other sources of sound problems are loose panels. This is the simplest explanation for a rattling sound. 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 thinking about other issues, make sure the panels are secure.

Debris also causes peculiar noises. The unit should be kept as clean as possible. Leaves, sticks, gravel and dirt can enter the a/c system if the area around it is not kept clean. This calls for prompt attention.

Debris can damage air conditioning components. The best course of action is to clean the debris and to avoid future issues by tidying up the outside space.
