Early Warning AC Signs Help To Get Air Conditioning System Fixed in Time

Nobody wants to call for repairs on their air conditioner. Wouldn’t we all love to have a problem-free summer in our homes? But you can reduce the stress and often the cost of the AC repair if you notice the trouble early on. Our technicians can handle whatever size repairs you need, but the sooner you get us on the task, the smaller the repair we’ll need to do. Here are some tips for warning signs:

• Weird noises: Anything that interrupts the pleasant hum of the AC fans and compressor is telling you something is wrong. You may have motor parts wearing down, loose components, leaking refrigerant, or general debris and dirt creating problems.
• Ice on the evaporator coil: No, you should never see ice on any part of the air conditioner. If you notice ice on the evaporator coil, something is restricting it from absorbing heat, and it needs to be repaired soon.
• Uneven cooling: When you notice certain rooms in your home are warmer than usual when the AC is running, don’t shrug it off as simply a nuisance. This is a warning that the air conditioner is starting to lose its cooling capacity.
• Start–stop start–stop compressor: Is the compressor turning on multiple times an hour rather than doing a full cooling cycle? This is short–cycling and it can mean a variety of problems.
• Tripped circuit breaker: Any time the AC trips the circuit breaker, you either have a bad electrical problem or an overheating air conditioner.

Calling at the first signs of a problem helps in more ways than one. For starters, continuing to run your air conditioning system while it has a problem is going to raise your energy costs. This is because when your AC has to work harder to cool your home, it takes more energy. Even if you’re still getting cool air, it’s going to be more expensive than usual, and every dollar adds up.

The second major reason to call sooner rather than later is that faulty component can lead to other problems. Other parts may overcompensate to maintain performance, leading to their malfunction. A broken piece can be tumbling around inside your AC system, causing internal damage. Even something like a clogged air filter can ‘choke’ your AC, and have trouble keeping dust out of your air conditioner.
