Service Calls

Keeping an eye out for the early signs of an issue allows you to schedule AC repair contractor before a complete breakdown. Below, learn the signs that you need AC repair.

How to Tell When Your AC Needs A Service Call 

1. A Change in the Sound

Many problems with air conditioners are easy to hear. For example, if the fan is unbalanced and touching another component, it makes a rattling or grinding sound. If the fan is having to work harder than usual due to blocked airflow, the motor noise will become louder. Any change in the noise from your air conditioner means a change in its operation, so make the call as soon as you notice a difference.

2. High Bills

If there's a problem with your AC, it's likely that some components, like the fan motor or pump, will have to work harder than normal. This means they'll use more electricity than before, costing more money. Compare your power bill to the same month last year. If it's higher, it's likely you need help from an HVAC contractor. 

3. Bad Airflow or Cooling

If the AC runs but doesn't cool the home, there are several potential problems. Assuming the unit is the right size for the space, it may be clogged with dust, or there may be a blockage in your air ducts. The issue can also be leaking coolant from the refrigerator coil. You should also inspect your filters to see if there are any blockages. The problem might also be a faulty thermostat or poor thermostat placing in the home. If the thermostat is set near an oven or fireplace, it could be giving inaccurate readings of the room temperature.

4.) System not working 

If the AC is not working at all or not cooling properly, there are several things the homeowner can check. Check the breaker. Turn it off and back on. Check your batteries in your thermostat if applicable. Some thermostats require batteries to operate the system.
