Although it feels like spring has just started, summer will be here before you know it. Risch Heating & Air Conditioning can help you make sure your air conditioner is ready to keep your family cool all season long. This team of air conditioning contractors has been serving West Salem households since 1982, performing air conditioning repairs and installations that are tailored to suit each customer’s home.

Risch Heating & Air Conditioning’s specially trained technicians will analyze your home to determine which type of cooling system will work best for you. They are able to do this by creating a maintenance plan with the ability to keep your air conditioner performing efficiently for years to come.

Since most homeowners only use their air conditioner for a few weeks out of the year, it can be easy to forget about scheduling repairs. If your air conditioner is experiencing any of the following issues, contact Risch Heating & Air Conditioning to resolve them as quickly as possible.

Your Air Conditioner Is Performing Poorly

Warm air and weak air flow are surefire signs your air conditioner needs professional attention. These problems may indicate your air conditioner’s compressor is failing, which means it needs to be replaced. Clogged vents and low Freon levels can also contribute to poor performance.

Your Air Conditioner Is Emitting Unusual Sounds

Many air conditioners are designed to run quietly, so a unit suddenly making a squealing or grating sound needs to be inspected immediately. Squealing sounds mean the air conditioner’s internal belt has slipped out of place while grating means the metal parts inside the unit need to be lubricated. These repairs are simple but important; addressing these issues right away prevents more serious damage.

Your Air Conditioner Smells Bad

When it comes to air conditioner maintenance, there are two types of unpleasant odors to be aware of. Pungent odors are a sign that the insulation around your air conditioner’s wiring has started burning out. This issue needs to be repaired immediately to prevent fire damage. A musty smell indicates mold and moisture. Mold growth can pose serious health hazards and must be remedied quickly.
