Signs That You Need An Air Conditioner Repair

Having a broken AC in the summer is the last thing that you want to deal with. When this happens, you might be tempted to try and fix the AC yourself. Keep in mind that a professional company will have the necessary parts to make your repair promptly. And, you will save a lot of your own time and aggravation. Below is a list of typical air conditioning repairs that our technicians encounter.

Does Your House Or Air Conditioner Have Electricity?

Believe it or not, we get many calls from homeowners every year where we arrive only to find out that the house and maybe even the entire vicinity has no electricity. This is embarrassing and it results in some tensions when the repairman needs to collect payment for a service call just to say, "Call us back when the power comes on." Be sure that you have electrical power to your ac system prior to call for a repair.

Rapidly Increasing Electric Expenses

Does it seem like your energy monthly bills are constantly rising? Does each summer bring shocking cooling bills? While electricity rates typically go up instead of down, the increases should not be terribly dramatic. If your energy bills seem out of control, the odds are strong that your a/c system is at least partly responsible.

Hot And Cold Spots In The Home

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

Frequent Cycling On And Off

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

Your AC Doesn't Sound Right

Of the different strange sounds an AC can make, rattling is among the most common. We have often make repair calls for rattling air conditioning. If you start hearing your air conditioner rattle, get in touch with us, and we will get right out to you to discover what the trouble is and fix it before it grows into bigger trouble.

Other sources of sound problems are loose panels. Rattles typically come from panels like this. Occasionally 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 considering other issues, make sure the panels are secure.

Debris also causes peculiar 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 can possibly be very damaging. The best plan is to clean the debris and to prevent future issues by cleaning the outdoor space.
