Few things are worse than a grueling summer with no air conditioning. An AC repair technician can be a lifesaver if your system isn't working properly, so it’s important to have it regularly inspected to ensure it’s not on the brink of a costly burnout. The electricians and repair technicians at Reinke’s Heating Air Conditioning & Electrical have been helping residents of Kearney, NE stay cool since 1970, and below, they share a few telltale signs that you may need a new AC system.

5 Signs You Need an AC Repair Technician

1. The Air Isn’t Cold

2. The Air Smells Metallic

Cold air doesn’t make a room comfortable if it’s accompanied by offensive smells. If you notice a sharp odor, your unit’s wiring may be burning out. If the smell is musky, it could indicate that mold is beginning to grow in your system.

3. Weak Airflow

If you crank the thermostat down to the low 60s and notice that air flowing from the vents is weak, your compressor may be failing. It may also indicate issues with your ductwork, which can be costly to repair, so it’s best to call an electrician immediately..

4. Loud Sounds

A well-maintained air conditioner usually produces a subtle hum, so if you hear any irregular grinding, squealing, or grating noises, it’s likely time for a new system. An AC repair technician may be able to fix motor issues if they aren’t too severe, so don’t wait to make a call.

5. Electricity Bills Are Higher Than Usual

Air conditioners can still produce cold air as they deteriorate. If your home is comfortable but you notice your bills keep climbing higher, it means your unit has to use extra energy to produce the cold air. Without addressing this issue, it can lead to a burnout and costly replacements.
