Don't Get Stuck in the Heat! Signs Your AC Needs Attention Before Summer Hits
Summer's on its way, and the last thing you want is a broken air conditioner! To keep your cool it's important to be aware of the signs your AC might need some attention. Here are some key indicators that it's time to call in the professionals at Discover Efficiency:
Warm Air Blowing? This is the most obvious sign! If your AC is running but not producing cool air, it's definitely time for repairs.
Uneven Cooling: Is one room in your house a sauna while others feel chilly? Uneven cooling could indicate clogged air ducts, low refrigerant levels, or a faulty compressor.
Strange Noises: Your AC shouldn't sound like a horror movie soundtrack. Grinding, screeching, or clanging noises can signal loose parts, failing components, or a clogged system.
Moisture Issues: Seeing water leaks around your AC unit is a red flag. This could mean clogged condensate drain lines, damaged coils, or improper installation.
Frequent On/Off Cycles: Your AC shouldn't be constantly turning on and off. This rapid cycling can indicate a refrigerant leak, faulty thermostat, or dirty air filters.
Musty Smells: A musty odor coming from your vents suggests mold or mildew growth within the AC unit. This can pose health risks and requires professional cleaning.
Remember, prevention is key! Scheduling annual AC maintenance before the summer rush can help identify and address minor issues before they turn into major problems.
