Does Your Home Or Air Conditioner Have Power?

Increasing Electrical Bills

Does it seem like your energy monthly bills are constantly increasing? Do you seem to get more expensive electrical bills with every passing summer? While electricity rates normally go up in lieu of down, the increases should not be terribly dramatic. If your energy bills seem out of control, the odds are high that your air conditioning system is at least partly responsible.

Hot And Cold Spots In The House

Do hot spots in your house motivate you to stay in different parts of the home due to the fact that they are more comfy? Are there rooms in your home that don't seem to get cool whatsoever? Uneven cooling is a clear sign of inefficient ac unit operation. It is true that direct sunlight and second-story areas tend to be warmer than other areas of the home. However, an efficient A/C system should still be able to make them comfortable.

Frequent Cycling On And Off

An air conditioner or heat pump that is cycling off and quickly back on or cycling on and off every 10 seconds is unusual and is likely to damage the equipment. It is recommended that the system be turned off while waiting on a repair. This is to prevent more components from being damaged. Usually this issue 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. At times the panels on the cabinet housing the condenser or the evaporator will become dislodged because 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 unusual noises. The inside of the air conditioner should be kept as clean. But if the air filter becomes clogged, or the outdoor unit does not have a clear area around it, then dirt, gravel, leaves, sticks, and other small items can enter the cabinet and start getting knocked around. When this happens, a repair service should be called immediately. Dirt and loose debris may possibly be very damaging. The best strategy is to clean the debris and to avoid future issues by tidying up the outside space.
