Signs You Need an Air Conditioning Repair

Having problems with your air conditioner at a random time can be very inconvenient, but there are ways you can spot a problem with your air conditioner before it stops working completely. The following are some signs your air conditioner may not be functioning properly:

  • The vent is blowing warmer air than it’s supposed to. This could be a sign that your air conditioner’s thermostat is not functioning the way it is supposed to. Something is stopping the system from knowing it must generate more cold air, and it must be serviced by a professional.
  • The vent isn’t blowing out much air. This is a sign that there may be some issues with the airflow of your air conditioning system. The lack of airflow could indicate a faulty compressor, but it is best to have an experienced professional service your equipment.
  • The home is very humid. If you keep running your air conditioner, but your home is very humid, your air conditioner will need to be serviced. Removing humidity from the air is one of the main jobs of your air conditioner, so humidity is a big sign of a faulty air conditioner.
  • There is leaking around the unit. Leaking around your air conditioning unit is never a good sign. It is important to contact an experienced technician immediately if your unit has leaking around it as the substance could be refrigerant and not water.  Making sure that this substance is not refrigerant is essential because it can be poisonous.

What happens if an AC filter becomes clogged?
If a filter becomes clogged, air flow will be severely restricted, making your system work harder to move any air through the unit. This puts additional strain on the components, which may reduce efficiency. We always recommend checking filters for this very reason.
In overhauls, we see this failure mode fairly often because the failure was preceded by some time due to something like improper application, excessively long-term loads, or other possible causes like electrical problems, over-temperature, continuous cycling, etc.
Insulation properties make a large difference in how well the home holds onto cooled air. Insufficient insulation allows conditioning to bleed out, wasting time and money, usually resulting in longer system runtimes and lower overall efficiency.
Condenser coil. This coil releases the heat that was pulled from the air inside your home. As the refrigerant passes through the coil, the heat it brought with it is released to the outside. This release of heat is imperative to allow continuous cooling inside your home.
Humidity can make it feel warmer than it otherwise would be. If the air feels muggy, adjusting the humidity level will improve comfort, even if the temperature is reasonable. Even higher humidity levels will produce more effective cooling.
Newer air conditioning systems are designed with greater efficiency and performance in mind, providing quieter and more consistent temperatures as well as improved energy efficiency.
