3 Signs You Need Air Conditioning Repair Service

Posted on: 24 September 2020

The summer heat is slowly going away and ushering the cool fall. Your HVAC system has been working hard to keep the temperatures low and the humidity bearable throughout the hot season. It is only normal that with all the work, your unit might have lost its efficiency.

When your air conditioner loses its efficiency, it has to work twice as hard as before to maintain ideal internal thermal conditions. As a result, you end up paying higher energy bills than you could have with an effective unit. The only way to avoid this loss is by observing your unit for signs that it has broken parts that need repairs. Here are three common signs to watch out for.

1. When the Vents Blow Out Warm Air

Most people set their thermostats to the cooling mode when the summer starts. The cooling mode ensures the warm air from outside is cooled down and redistributed into the house.

If your vents are blowing out warm air, check the thermostat to see if you have set it lower than the regular room temperature. If the thermostat is set to your desired temperature, call in an air conditioning repair service to check the compressor. The professional will figure out the cause of warm air inside the house and help resolve it.

2. When the House Is Stuffy

Stuffiness is caused by an insufficient flow of air from the vents. One of the most common causes of airflow problems is when your air ducts get clogged. Other possible reasons could be a clogged filter, broken motor, or a possible failure of the entire system.

It is advisable to have a professional come and check your HVAC system as soon as you realize persistent stuffiness. They will examine the system and fix the problem before the entire system collapses.

3. When You Experience Irregular Cycles

Your AC system should have regular cooling cycles regardless of the season. The cooling system might work a little more frequently when the summer heat is at an all-time high, but it shouldn't happen regularly.

The best way to resolve this problem is by hiring an HVAC contractor to check your system and do a tune-up. When the system resumes normal function, it should operate efficiently without excessive cycling.

These are three common signs that the efficiency of your HVAC system is failing. Get a professional HVAC expert to handle the maintenance and repair for a well-optimized and efficient unit this fall.
