Summer will soon be here, and the last thing you want is to be stuck with a busted air conditioner. To avoid having a breakdown in the sweltering Nevada heat, it’s important to take stock of your unit’s condition now. If the system is experiencing any of the signs below, you need to call a professional HVAC contractor for air conditioning repairs. 

What Are Some Indicators You Need Air Conditioning Repairs?

1. The Air Isn’t Cold

When you turn on the AC, it might initially have some difficulties cooling down your home. However, if the air does not eventually get cold, the unit could be suffering from a number of problems. Hopefully, it will just need more coolant, but the compressor could have also failed, which is a more serious issue that might require you to replace the entire unit.

2. There Is Little Air Flow

If you feel cold air coming out of the vents but just barely, this could be due to one of several issues. After checking the air filters are not dirty and all the vents are uncovered, you’ll need to call a professional if the problem persists. Most likely, you have leaky or blocked air ducts, but it could also be the result of a frozen evaporator coil or a dirty or failing blower.

3. An Odd Sound or Smell

Whenever you notice the air conditioner is making different sounds or has developed a smell, call for repairs. Often, a new sound is an indicator something is broken inside the unit. For instance, a squealing noise typically points to a bad belt or motor bearing, while a rattling usually means something inside the blower assembly or motor has come loose. A new smell emanating from your system will ordinarily point to a problem with pests or mold rather than broken parts, but this issue should be taken care of quickly to avoid harming your family’s health or creating more damage.
