You never know when that trusty air conditioner will sputter to a halt, putting your kids and pets at risk for life-threatening health conditions like heat exhaustion. However, by spotting the symptoms of a damaged system early, you can have the issue repaired, keeping your home safe, cool, and comfortable.

Strange Sounds & Smells

Over time, your air conditioner components can wear out, creating strange sounds and smells. For example, musty smells might mean a buildup of mold or mildew in your air ducts or air handler, while a noisy system could indicate a damaged outdoor fan blade. To ward off problems, pay attention to the way your system sounds and notify a professional if you notice any issues. Short recordings taken with the video function on your cell phone can help you to compare new sounds with the way your system sounded previously.  

Poor Humidity Control

Consider investing in an indoor humidity thermostat to monitor the air moisture on a day-to-day basis. If you can see upward trends in the humidity levels, have your air conditioner cleaned, inspected, and serviced.

Lack of Cooled Air

Poor airflow or air that seems warmer than it should be could signal issues like damaged ductwork or a failing refrigerant compressor. Fortunately, HVAC technicians can measure both the output of the cooled air and its temperature, making it easy to tell if your system is operating within normal ranges.
