These AC Unit Warning Signs Show Need of Repair

As we are entering the warmer months, the last thing you need is a broken AC unit. If you suspect your AC needs repair, it's a good idea to call for help as soon as possible. If the issue gets delayed, the condition could worsen to the point of total replacement. It's the difference between spending a few hundred dollars and a few thousand. But how are you supposed to know when the AC unit needs repair?

Does Your AC Unit Have Restricted Air Flow?

Particular signs show something is wrong. One of the most noticeable signs is the unit blows out warm air even when set on a cooler temperature. Make sure your AC is in cold temperature mode. There may be an air duct blockage, a clogged filter, or a compressor problem.

Does Your AC Cycle too Much?

Another red flag for AC maintenance is the constant cycling of the unit. It turns on more often but without producing efficient cooling. Also, pay attention to your air quality. Is there a mildew scent coming from the AC? Is your home too humid? Have the filter replaced for breathing cleaner air. With above-average moisture levels in your house, the AC needs inspection.

 Is Your AC Unit Making Any Unusual Noises?

Strange noises such as buzzing, whistling, grinding, or squealing are other signs. A slipped belt, a piece not lubricated, or broken motor bearings can all cause noises. Quick repairs and part replacement are essential.
