The first official day of summer is just around the corner, and temperatures have been on the rise. However, if your air conditioner doesn’t run optimally, comfort may be hard to come by in your home. Learn the warning signs, so you know when to call for AC cleaning and repair services.

When to Call Professionals to Clean & Repair the Air Conditioner

1. Low Airflow

Even if the system is producing cool air, it may not feel like enough or that it’s circulating around your home. In this case, you may be dealing with blocked ducts, clogged filters, or other issues. Hire professionals to service your AC unit and they’ll remove any blockages to restore airflow.

2. Strange Noises

The air conditioner may make some noise when it turns on. However, if you hear new and strange noises while it’s running, including grinding, popping, squeaking, rattling, or hissing, they may be the result of a variety of problems. Contact professionals for an accurate diagnosis.

3. Expensive Bills

If you notice a sudden spike in energy bills during the summer months, your AC unit may be the culprit. This usually indicates the air conditioner is working much harder than normal to produce the same amount of cool air. Professional air conditioning contractors can repair this decrease in efficiency with maintenance and cleaning.
