Air conditioning units always seem to go out when you need them most. Unfortunately, this can lead to extremely high temperatures in the summer or frigid climates in winter. However, you can avoid inconvenient air conditioning repairs by watching for several signs that your AC needs maintenance. 

How to Tell It’s Time for an AC Inspection

1. Strange Sounds

If your air conditioner has recently started making a peculiar noise, it can lead to more significant problems. Squeaking, squealing, or grating noise can indicate broken bearings, a slipping belt, or other out of order parts. Most people assume that noises mean their air conditioner unit is getting old, not that it needs repairs. However, calling when you first hear the sounds will save you from more expensive repairs down the road, and keep your air conditioner in working order much longer.

2. Moisture  

Leaking or moisture collecting around your air conditioner can be a major problem or minor issue like a drain tube. If the drainage tube is blocked, it’s a quick fix. But if it’s a refrigerant leak, air conditioning repairs are necessary. If you can’t determine the source of the leak yourself, call your HVAC contractor right away. 

3. Hot Air

When your air conditioner starts blowing warm air, there’s a problem. Many people assume that the unit needs time to warm up or is getting less effective with age. However, warm air blowing out of your unit can also mean compressor issues. These can range from a bad capacitor to a faulty fuse, which is easy to fix, to a total failure of the compressor, requiring extensive repairs.
