Meeting the demands of keeping your home cool can place considerable strain on a damaged AC system. Without air conditioning repair, the inefficiencies will get worse, leading to high energy bills. In addition to a spike in cooling costs, learn the below signs that indicate it’s time to have the system serviced.

3 Clues Your AC System Requires Professional Upkeep & Repairs

1. No Cool Air

If the thermostat reading doesn’t reflect the actual interior temperature, there could be a few issues that need to be addressed. When air is mildly cool, lukewarm, or hot, a return duct could be broken. When this happens, unconditioned air could get pulled into the system and released through the vents. Debris in the outdoor condensing unit could cause temperature fluctuations, too. An air conditioning repair specialist might also need to add more refrigerant to the unit.  

2. Dusty Interiors

When the screen is caked in grime, it can’t trap the dust, dirt, and additional debris sucked into ducts. The allergens will reverse course because of this and float back into the interiors. Dust can also enter the system through gaps in the ductwork. It will float through the channels and back out into the interiors through the vents.

3. Strange Sounds & Smells

You should hear a soft hum as air flows through the air conditioning unit. Any other noises could point to a problem. Grinding and screeching sounds could be caused by loose or dislodged metal components. In addition to odd noises, strange smells should also be on your radar. For instance, mold and mildew growth on ducts could release a musky aroma, similar to the smell of damp, dirty laundry. If you notice any of these signs, contact a professional for an air conditioning repair.
