Do you feel like your A/C is giving you the best service possible? In our decades of experience, an A/C system will start sending you signs if there’s a problem brewing — often long before it breaks down. And, if you can find the problem early enough to address it, you will save money and avoid the challenges of a full system breakdown.
To help you identify these signs, we at Springboro Heating & Cooling put together a list of the top five signs that could indicate there is a problem developing with your A/C that should be addressed promptly.
5 Signs Your A/C Needs Repaired
1) Is your A/C blowing warm air?
This might seem a little overly obvious, but if your A/C system is blowing warm or hot air, then it might mean your compressor is broken. On the other hand, it could mean you have low levels of refrigerant, or a refrigerant leak. Neither one of these issues are impossible to repair, and it might end up costing you less than you’d expect. However, whatever the case, you should address the problem right away if you wish to continue to use your system.
2) Is there moisture near the unit?
Have you started to notice moisture or water leakage around your system? If so, you have a problem. Occasionally, this is a relatively minor problem. Something could be blocking the drain tube that channels the condensation away from your A/C. This doesn’t mean there’s an emergency. However, it’s in your interest to repair it promptly to prevent the growth of mold. Occasionally, this type of moisture can be from a refrigerant leak, which is more severe. Whatever the case, you should address the problem quickly to prevent additional problems from developing.
3) Does your A/C make unusual sounds?
Air conditioners are made to run fairly noiselessly. Although you might notice a sound emanating from the motor, you should not be hearing any grinding, screeching, or other harsh noises. The faster you get to the bottom of these noises with the help of an expert, the better off your system will be. Typically, these sorts of issues can be corrected before you have to replace the unit completely.
4) Are there any unusual smells?
Smells are another good indicator of when something within your A/C system might have gone amiss. Often, a sort of toasty, pungent-type of odor indicates wire insulation within the system is burned, or is burning, and requires replacement. Musty odors are often indicators of mold, which is a hazard to you and your family’s health.
5) Do you have high humidity levels?
A big part of an air conditioner’s function is to extract humidity from the air within your residence. If you start to observe water pooling around your windows or notice there’s a sticky feeling to the air within your home, this is a strong indication that your A/C is not functioning properly. We urge you to give us a call if you are dealing with this or any of these issues.
