Even though the weather has gotten cooler, and you aren’t using your air conditioner, it’s still important to keep up with maintenance. Purvis Heating & Air Conditioning offers a wide range of air conditioner repair services that ensure your unit will be ready to use when warm weather returns.

It may be tempting to put off air conditioner repairs until next spring, but doing so can lead to more serious and expensive damage. Addressing problems early helps you reduce the expense and hassle of fixing them and ensures that your air conditioner will be in good working order when you need it next spring and summer.

5 Signs Your Air Conditioner Is Due For Repairs

1. Poor Air Flow

If your air conditioner has been putting out less air than usual, ask your technician to inspect the compressor, blower fan, and ducts for blockages. Debris, like dust and pollen, can prevent air from flowing through the system properly, and can even lead to poor indoor air quality.

2. Strange Sounds

An air conditioner that emits a rattling, grinding, or squealing noise when running needs immediate professional attention. These sounds usually signify mechanical issues that range from a loose screw to a damaged blower motor.

3. Unpleasant Odors

Musty odors mean that there is excess moisture in the unit, which can lead to mold and mildew growth. A sharp, foul smell indicates that the air conditioner’s electrical wiring is burning out.

4. Blowing Warm Air

Sometimes, air conditioners have the air flow you want but not the cooling power. If your unit is blowing warm air, it may be low on refrigerant. Fixing this problem isn’t as simple as adding more — a technician will need to inspect your air conditioner for signs of a leak first.

5. Temperature Inconsistencies

Whole-house air conditioning is meant to keep every room in your home comfortable. What does it mean when some rooms are cooler than others? In this case, the problem may be with the thermostat, not the air conditioner itself. Make sure your thermostat is set to cool and that the circuit breaker has not been tripped before calling for a technician.
