Signs Your Air Conditioner Needs Repair

It’s important to recognize the signs of a struggling air conditioner before it fails completely. Poor airflow can indicate a problem with your AC unit or ductwork. Unusual noises such as banging, clanking, or squealing can signal a mechanical issue. If your AC is blowing warm air, there could be a refrigerant leak or compressor problem. Frequent cycling, where your system is constantly turning on and off, may indicate it’s overworking due to a malfunction. Increased humidity levels inside your home can also be a sign that your air conditioner needs attention. Additionally, foul smells coming from your AC unit can indicate mold or a burnt-out wire.

How to Prevent Air Conditioning Breakdowns

While repairs are sometimes unavoidable, regular maintenance can help prevent unexpected breakdowns and prolong the life of your air conditioner. Changing filters regularly is crucial as dirty filters restrict airflow and reduce efficiency. It’s recommended to check and replace them every 1-3 months. Keeping the unit clean by clearing debris from around the outdoor unit and ensuring the fins and coils are clean also helps. Checking thermostat settings to ensure it’s set to the desired temperature and functioning properly can prevent unnecessary strain on the system. Scheduling annual tune-ups with professional maintenance can catch potential issues early and keep your system running efficiently.
