Is It Time to Call for AC Service?
It’s not always obvious when an air conditioner needs professional attention. Some issues are subtle, while others are impossible to ignore. Addressing problems early can often prevent more significant and costly breakdowns down the line.
You should consider scheduling a service call if you notice any of the following signs:
- The system is blowing warm or room-temperature air.
- Airflow from the vents feels weak or inconsistent.
- You hear unusual noises like grinding, squealing, or banging.
- There are strange or unpleasant odors coming from the unit or vents.
- The unit won't turn on, or it cycles on and off too frequently.
- You see moisture or refrigerant leaking around the unit.
- There's a frozen evaporator coil or ice buildup on the system.
In some cases, a repair might not be the most cost-effective solution. If your cooling bills are steadily increasing, your system requires frequent repairs, or it can no longer cool your home evenly, it may be time to consider a replacement.
Quick Troubleshooting Tips
If your air conditioner isn't running the way you feel it should, there are a few simple things you can do that might resolve the problem! Before you reach out to our team, try the following simple DIY troubleshooting tips and see if they resolve your issue.
- Check your thermostat battery. Many thermostats are actually powered by batteries. If your thermostat has shut off and your system won't respond, unhook your thermostat unit from its wall mounting plate, and replace the battery or batteries beneath (they'll usually be either a 9-volt cell or a few AA cells).
- Replace your air filter. A dirty air filter greatly inhibits airflow. If it feels like your air conditioner's airflow is significantly weaker than it should be, check the air filter in your indoor unit and swap it out if it's visibly dirty. This will also improve your indoor air quality, too!
- Open all registers. A register is a type of air vent cover with a baffle that allows you to adjust the level of airflow into a particular room. While these can be helpful, closing them off could prevent an area of your home from getting much needed cooling relief. Check that they're properly open if you're struggling to stay cool.
- Check your circuit breaker. Your air conditioner should be on its own dedicated electrical circuit, and many are even wired through a separate sub-panel located on the side of your home near your outdoor unit. Check that your breakers are all properly and reset any that may have tripped. If the breaker trips again after being reset, call for an inspection as soon as possible.
If you have checked these components and made these changes or adjustments and your system still isn't working properly, we're here to help! Call us today to schedule an appointment. We're available 24/7 for emergency services.
