Reasons Why You Should Regularly Call an Air Conditioning Service

1. July 3, 2017 Reasons Why You Should Regularly Call an Air Conditioning Service Most people call the repairman only when their air conditioning system stops running altogether. Most of the time, however, there can already be something wrong with your AC even when it’s still properly cooling the air. Just because it’s working doesn’t mean it’s working properly. Page | 1

2. This is why you should always pay attention to your air conditioning system, and know if it needs repairs right away. If you see or hear any of these symptoms, then it might be time to get some air conditioning service. After all, you need a properly working AC system in order to survive those hot summer days. Poor Air Flow If you start noticing poor air flow through your AC vents, then there’s probably something wrong with your unit’s compressor. Remember, debris gets stuck over time, and air flow eventually weakens if you don’t clean the ducts. Worse, debris that’s stuck presents a health risk. Calling a technician to get these ducts cleaned is the perfect way to ensure your air conditioning system is working properly. Loud Noises If you’re hearing noises coming from your AC unit you’re not used to hearing, then you will need to get it repaired quickly. Different noises indicate different problems with your AC unit. For example, a buzzing noise is caused by an electrical issue, while a hissing noise indicates leaky ducts. Banging noises, on the other hand, mean there is a loose component in your air conditioning unit. If there is a loose component, then your whole AC system may break down very soon. High Energy Bills If you’ve been using an AC system for a few years, then you have a good idea of what to expect when your energy bills come in. If your bills are higher than usual, it may indicate a problem with the unit. In most cases, a component may have stopped working correctly, so the other components have to compensate in order to keep you cool. Unfortunately, this leads to higher energy bills and may also cause your AC to break down completely, since other components will need to work twice as hard. No Cool Air This is the most obvious sign your AC unit isn’t working. If the air isn’t as cold as before, or if it’s not cold at all, it may mean that there’s not enough refrigerant in the system. It can also mean your unit’s compressor has stopped working. Page | 2
