Signs That You Need An Air Conditioner Repair

Having a broken AC in hot, humid weather is the last thing that you want to deal with. In this situation you might be tempted to try and repair the air conditioner yourself. However, keep in mind that a HVAC repair company will have all of the parts needed to make the repair. Additionally, hiring a pro will save time and the repair will be done correctly. Below is a listing of common air conditioning repairs that our technicians run across all of the time.

Is There Power To The House?

Many times, our technicians are called to a house that has no power. This is embarrassing and it results in some tensions when the service technician needs to collect payment for a service call just to say, "Call us back when the power comes on." To avoid this circumstance, be sure to check that your a/c unit has electricity.

Increasing Electrical Bills

Have you observed that your electrical bills are escalating at alarming rates? Does each summer bring shocking cooling bills? While electricity rates normally go up as opposed to down, the increases should not be terribly dramatic. Cooling and heating bills are a major component of most home's budget. However if these bills grow excessively, it may be indicator that your HVAC system should be replaced.

Hot And Cold Spots In The House

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

The Unit Continues To Come On And Off

A cooling system that regularly cycles on and off is not typical. As a matter of fact, this can result in damage to your air conditioner. To stop further issues, we recommend that the air conditioning system be turned off. Usually this situation is caused by a faulty control board or relay problem.

Strange Sounds Come From Your Air Conditioner

Loose panels on the air handler can also create sounds. Rattles typically come from panels like this. Sometimes the panels on the cabinet housing the condenser or the evaporator will become dislodged due to 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.

Loose dirt and debris in the unit can make strange sounds. The inside of the air conditioner should be kept as clean. When the surrounding area is not kept clean, debris can enter. This requires quick attention. Dirt and loose debris may possibly be very damaging. The best plan is to clean the debris and to avoid future issues by cleaning the exterior space.
