Recognizing issues early on can help save you from discomfort and headaches down the road. So, in today’s blog the cooling team...
Keep An Eye Out For These 7 Signs
1. Strange Noises
Unusual sounds such as grinding, squealing or clattering are definitely not typical for air conditioners. These noises often suggest a mechanical issue such as loose parts or a component that requires lubrication.2. Weak Airflow
If all you’re feeling is a gentle caress of cooled air and not the big powerful rush that you’re expecting, it could mean that your AC’s compressor is failing or there’s issues with your duct work, like blockages or leaks.
3. Warm Air
An AC blowing warm air is definitely a surprise, and a cause for concern. Start by checking your thermostat, it should always be set lower than the room temperature to ensure your AC will kick on. If it is and it’s still blowing warm, it could be a problem with the compressor or restricted air flow.4. Frequent Cycles
When cooling optimally, your AC should go through fairly routine cooling cycles. If you notice your unit is cycling on and off more than normal, it’s time for a check-up.5. High Humidity Levels
During our summers, humidity levels can get out of control, which is partly why air conditioners have become so popular. In addition to cooling your space, they dehumidify the air helping increase comfort. If your unit is struggling to keep humidity levels in check, it could be time for a repair.6. Leaks
Any signs of leaks or standing water around your AC unit are not a good sign, and could be a result of a blockage in the drain tube that transports condensation away from your AC. It’s important to address leaks and excessive water sooner rather than later to prevent possible property damage.
7. Increases In Your Home Cooling Bills
If your utility bills keep creeping up even though you haven’t changed your energy habits, it’s a sign something is amiss. If your AC unit is struggling to effectively cool your home, it will use more energy to compensate, resulting in the increased cost.Rest Easy With Cross Heating & Air Conditioning
