When Should Homeowners Call For Air Conditioner Repairs?

July 27, 2022 by Social Sphere Media

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are crucial for maintaining the perfect temperature in a home. However, similar to other devices, there comes a time when they will break and fail. But before they do, they will first show symptoms that homeowners can observe and identify. Here are some signs it’s time to call for air conditioner repairs.

1. Faulty Thermostat

Most AC units today have a thermostat used to maintain a constant temperature. It works by using a temperature sensor and other components to turn the AC on and off. The thermostat is essential to the AC system, needing constant checks regularly. If its settings are off, the unit may use more energy than it should. Another problem with a faulty thermostat is the AC will run continuously.

2. Air Blowing Through Vents

One of the primary purposes of an AC unit is to cool down the air. However, if it’s blowing warm or hot air out of vents, this is a telltale sign the AC is not working correctly.

Heating and air conditioning systems use air filters and other components to bring cool air into the home. The unit will then send the warm air outside through vents. If warm air is not coming out of the ducts and cold air is not blown into the house, there’s a problem with the unit or the ductwork.

3. Water Leaks

One sign of a failed air conditioner is water leaks. If you notice water puddles around the AC unit or a pool of water underneath, this could be due to a clogged drain line. When a drain line is clogged, the water cannot drain properly and may leak out. All air ducts have seams that are susceptible to moisture.

When moisture enters the ductwork, it will eventually build up and cause a leak. It can be hazardous, as water can come into contact with the system’s electrical components. Leaks can also cause mold and mildew to grow inside the ductwork, which is dangerous as it can spread to other home areas.

4. Strange Noises

If your air conditioner is making strange noises, it is probably time for air conditioning repairs. The first step is to shut off the unit and have it looked at. Hiring a professional HVAC technician is key to avoiding long-term damage to your AC unit.

Hissing results from the water inside the unit building up due to condensation. This water then freezes, expands, and causes a clog. If the clog stays untouched, the AC unit will start to break down, and the hissing sound will become louder.

5. Spike in Utility Costs

One of the easiest things to spot is a spike in utility bills from the time you turn one on. Your AC unit should be using little energy. If your energy bills have gone up dramatically, it could be a sign your unit is broken.

A common problem for homeowners is when the AC unit doesn’t properly cool the home. If it’s not cooling the home adequately, you will use more energy to run the unit and will not get the job done.

Conclusion

Overall, getting AC repairs right away is essential to avoid the high costs of replacing it. In many cases, they will show clear signs they are failing. Using the above symptoms, you can quickly spot problems before they become significant. If you see any of these signs, it’s time to call for air conditioner repairs.

My experience with Paul's Heating & Air for the past year has been excellent. They are text book when it comes to customer service. They are professionals through & through. Their technicians are highly knowledgeable & skilled & incredibly thorough. They're fastidious in making sure they do it right the first time and making it right if they're not perfect which is rare for them not to be perfect. They take pride in their work. They want to do a great job and that positive, constructive, productive attitude shows. We recently had to replace an aging AC/Furnace unit (17 years old) and the installation of the new Carrier Performance Series was flawless and efficient. The technicians were focused & diligent making sure to dot every technical "i" and cross every technical "t." Also, even though Carrier can be a bit more expensive than some of the budget brands such as Goodman, Carrier and Paul's Heating & Air stand behind their product and their service. It's all about the installation & maintenance, so, with Paul's Heating & Air you not only get an excellent product in Carrier but you also get consummate professionals who know how to install the equipment properly & maintain it properly so you can get the most out of it for many, many years. If it isn't already obvious, I can't recommend Paul's Heating & Air enough. It's money well-spent — a great value for your hard-earned dollar.
