The Signs Your AC Needs Repair
Recognizing the signs that your air conditioning unit needs repair can help you act quickly. This can not only save you, your family, or your employees from some discomfort, but it may also allow our team to mitigate any damage.
These red flags are a good indicator it’s time to call us:
Unusual noises: Sounds like grinding can indicate bearing problems in the fan motor, while squealing might suggest a belt issue, something that is usually found in older units. Rattling often points to loose parts or debris inside the system.
Weak airflow: Reduced airflow often signifies a blockage in your system's ductwork or a faltering compressor. It can also be caused by dirty air filters or broken motor blades, significantly reducing your unit's efficiency and ability to cool your home effectively.
Warm air: Your AC’s fundamental purpose is to blow cold air. Failure could be due to a refrigerant leak or a compressor issue.
Frequent cycles: Although it's normal for your unit to cycle on and off to maintain a set temperature, rapid cycling is abnormal. This could be a sign of an oversized AC, electrical issues, or a malfunctioning thermostat.
High humidity levels: Persistent high humidity levels can indicate that your system is not effectively removing moisture from the air, which might require re-calibration or possibly the installation of a dehumidifier alongside the unit.
Water leaks: AC units produce condensation during their normal operation, but none of this water should accumulate or leak into your home. Visible leaks or pooling water around your unit can be symptomatic of a blocked condensate drain line or a refrigerant leak.
Bad odors: Musty smells can indicate mold or mildew within your unit or ductwork, which can be seriously damaging to indoor air quality. In some cases, a "burning" smell could indicate hazardous electrical problems.
The Benefits of Getting Professional Help
A lot of our clients are quite adept at handling repairs and various tasks around the house or office. Even acknowledging this, and even acknowledging our natural professional bias, there are still good reasons to call an AC repair pro in our Lincoln Park office rather than going the DIY route.
Our professional technicians bring a wealth of experience and training to every job, significantly increasing the likelihood of a quick and effective resolution. Their hands-on knowledge allows them to adapt to any complications that could arise.
While tackling projects yourself might seem like a cost-saving strategy, there's always the risk of mistakes. DIY damage may not be covered by a warranty, whereas our professional services are.
Consider the value of your free time. Whether it's spending moments with family, pursuing hobbies, or focusing on business priorities, your time is precious. Entrusting repair tasks to us frees you to focus on what you care most about.
