If you’ve noticed a recent spike in your energy bills, your heating or cooling unit might be the culprit. By paying attention to a few warning signs, you can figure out if you should call an HVAC company for repairs or maintenance. Here, the experts at Ogeechee Heating & Air in Claxton, GA, share three telltale indicators to watch for.

3 Signs You Should Call an HVAC Company

1. Strange Noises

Furnaces and air conditioners make small noises, so some sounds are nothing to worry about. If, however, you regularly hear banging, rattling, or squealing, it’s time to call a professional. The issue could be worn belts, a failing motor, or loose parts in the unit. Any of these problems will cause the system to operate less efficiently, driving your bills sky-high.

2. Continuous Running

HVAC companyYour air conditioner and furnace should run in cycles, turning on and off periodically. If either runs continuously and never seems to reach the desired temperature, there’s a problem, and it might not be with the thermostat. As the system runs continuously in an attempt to reach the desired temperature, it is using more and more energy. 

3. Inconsistent Temperature Throughout the House

If certain rooms in your home are warmer or colder than others, there is an airflow problem with your unit. The issue could be in the ductwork, the compressor, or even with the electrical wiring. As a result, the system has to work overtime to try to deliver a consistent temperature to every room in the house.
