Common Signs That Your AC Needs Professional Repairs

 

 It can be challenging to keep your home cool and comfortable during the hot summer months, but when you have a reliable air conditioning unit, that challenge is easily met. Unfortunately, even the best AC units need servicing and repairs from time to time. If you’re not sure when it’s time to call in a professional for repairs, here are the most common signs that your AC needs professional attention:

 


1. Strange Noises

 

Strange noises coming from your air conditioner are never a good sign and shouldn't be taken lightly. You may hear rattling or banging sounds, or even humming noises if there’s an issue with your outdoor compressor. Any loud noise should be addressed promptly.

 


2. Poor Air Flow

 

If your AC is running but there isn't enough cool air coming out of your vents, then something could be blocking the flow of air inside your air conditioner ducts. The problem could also be caused by a faulty fan motor or worn-out bearings in the fan blades that need to be replaced.

 



3. High Energy Bills

 

A spike in energy bills means that something isn't running efficiently in your HVAC system - this could include old or worn-out components like thermostats or motors that are no longer working as they should and pulling too much energy while running.

 


4. Leaks & Moisture Buildup

 

If there is liquid leaking around your indoor unit, then it could mean you have an issue with refrigerant leakage which needs immediate attention by a professional technician who can repair it effectively and safely according to local regulations regarding refrigerants handling and disposal. Moisture buildup near the unit can also cause severe problems for any homeowner as it can lead to mold buildup which will require costly water mitigation services later on down the line if not addressed promptly by a skilled technician.

 


5. Unusual Smells & Odors

 

It's normal for some odors to come out of an AC unit every now and then, however, if you're noticing strange smells like burning plastic or chemicals then you should contact a qualified technician right away as this could indicate an electrical issue within the system that requires expert attention before further damage occurs and costly repairs arise in the future.
