With winter approaching, Biggerstaff Plumbing Heating & Air in Lincoln, NE, recommends getting your air conditioning unit inspected while it’s not in use. If there’s any chance that you may need AC repair, then you should hire an experienced HVAC service technician to make any necessary adjustments to improve energy efficiency and guarantee that your family stays comfortable during the warmer months.

Signs You Need AC Repair Services

1. High Utility Bills

Older air conditioning units tend to be energy hogs, and every now and then, a newer AC system will start to lose its efficiency. When this happens, you’ll notice a spike in your utility bills, which is a clear indication that you should call a HVAC service technician.

2. Uncomfortable Living Spaces

If you’ve turned on your cooling system and your rooms are still hot, then something isn’t right. After checking to make sure your air vents are open and your filters have been replaced, schedule a visit with an AC repair company to figure out what the problem is.

3. A Noisy Cooling System

Newer air conditioning systems are built to run quietly, so keep your ears open for any inexplicable noises coming from your HVAC unit. This is usually a sign that a part has gone haywire or that something has come loose.

4. Broken Thermostat

The thermostat on your wall has a thermometer inside that measures the temperature of a room and turns on the air conditioner if it’s too warm. When this stops working, your AC won’t come on automatically, or it will come on too often due to a problem with the system.
