Signs Your Air Conditioner Isn't Functioning Properly
Most of the time it is relatively obvious when your air conditioner is in need of a repair service. It either won't turn on at all or will blow warm air into your home. However, some of the signs are more subtle. Be on the lookout for the following:
-
Sudden spike in utility bill - it's normal for electric bills to increase during summer months due to increased AC usage, but if the bill suddenly skyrockets higher than normal it's a good indication that something is wrong with your system. You should call a professional to assess the issue before it turns into a larger problem.
-
Strange noises coming from the unit - if your air conditioner begins making banging, creaking, or mechanical sounds that are unusual, there is likely a malfunction with one of the parts. It is important to call an air conditioning repair technician to prevent further damage to your system.
-
Warm air is coming through your vents- the air coming out of your vents should be about 20 degrees cooler than the intake air (or the air inside your house) to properly cool it. Sometimes the air will still feel slightly cool to the touch, but if it's not quite cold enough it won't properly cool your home.
Things To Check Before You Call...
-
Check Air Filters:
If your air conditioning system is down the first thing you would want to look at is the air filters. If you’ve not been getting regular AC maintenance on your unit, then more than likely the air filters are clogged up with dirt & dust. Clogged air filters prevent the AC system from working optimally and in some cases even turning on. If your air filters are indeed clogged, you will need to replace them. *When working on your AC system, make sure the power is turned off.
-
Check the Thermostat:
After verifying that your AC system’s air filter is clean and installed properly, the next step is to check the thermostat. Make sure it’s set to “cool”. In some cases, you may need to replace the batteries in your thermostat/remote control.
-
Check the Breaker:
If your AC system won’t turn on there’s a possibility that the main breaker has been tripped. Try flipping the breaker on. If your AC system starts working, then you’re good to go. However, if the breaker trips again, do not turn it on. Instead call us and set up a service call. In such cases there is another fault at play that needs to be diagnosed and repaired by a professional.
