Your HVAC system keeps your home comfortable by controlling the temperature and airflow. Between heating and cooling, it works all year-round and requires regular maintenance and immediate attention in the event of a breakdown. Below, Air One Heating & Cooling in Foley, AL, shares a few signs your HVAC system needs to be repaired.

How to Know When Your HVAC System Needs to Be Repaired

1. Odd Sounds

You should know what your heating and cooling system normally sounds like. If you notice odd noises—like dripping, clanking, or banging—you probably need HVAC system repair. Whether it’s loose parts or an electrical problem, call a professional who will assess the issue and come up with a solution to stop the noise and make sure your system is running correctly.

2. Bad Air Quality

Your HVAC system doesn’t just heat and cool, but it also plays an integral role in maintaining optimum air quality in your home by circulating and filtering the air. If you notice your allergies acting up or experience asthma symptoms, it’s possible your HVAC system needs some help. Filter replacement and ductwork cleaning can help improve air quality and the efficiency of your heating and AC unit.

3. Thermostat Mismatching

When you set the thermostat in your home, the HVAC system should kick on to heat or cool your house to that temperature. If it's not keeping up, you likely need repairs. You might have an issue with the thermostat itself, like blown fuses, or it could be a more complicated problem within the heater or AC.
