With temperatures starting to rise, you will be using an air conditioner sooner than you think! Unfortunately, many homeowners turn on their air conditioner only to find that it isn’t working as it should. The following are key signs that you need air conditioning repair — or that you might benefit from replacing your old unit altogether.

Top 3 Signs You Need Air Conditioning Repair

1. Airflow Issues

If your air conditioner blows warm air or has very little airflow, it won’t keep your family comfortable. A wide range of issues could be contributing to airflow problems, such as low refrigerant levels, a failing compressor, or even leaking ductwork. You will need a professional technician to find the source of the trouble.

2. Extra Noise

Air conditioners aren’t especially quiet — but this doesn’t mean they should be exceptionally noisy, either. Loud squealing or grinding likely indicates that a belt has slipped out of place. Banging and rattling often means that a part is loose. Repairing these issues early on will keep them from damaging other components of the unit.

3. Energy Bill Spike

It’s normal for energy bills to go up as you start using your air conditioner more. But if you notice a big spike in your bills without a corresponding increase in your usage habits, a faulty AC unit could be to blame. Older equipment uses a lot more energy than newer energy-efficient models, meaning a replacement may be in your best interest.
