If you are like most people, you do not know a lot about your air conditioner. You know how to set the temperature to make you comfortable, but if you go any further than that, you are a little lost. Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning is here to help you with that. Let’s talk about the signs that your AC will show you so that you know if your AC needs to be repaired.

Warm Air from Vents

One of the signs that you need a repair is when you notice your AC is blowing warm air instead of cold air. Warm air coming out of your AC can be several things such as issues with the compressor or the refrigerant levels are low. When this happens you need to call a professional.

Strange Smells from AC System

Your AC should never have a smell to it. If you are smelling any foul or metallic odors you could be having an electrical issue. This could be a sign that you have damaged wires and need to call a professional for help. If you smell a musty odor, you could have mold growth and should get it cleaned and taken care of before that mold spreads more.

Poor Airflow

If you notice that there is not as much air coming out of your vents as there once was. This could be because your compressor is failing, you have dirty system components, or you have debris or dirty air ducts that are obstructing the airflow.

Loud AC Noises

When your AC turns on, you should not be hearing strange noises. If you are hearing any clicking, squealing, grinding, or rattling, then that is a great indication that there is an issue with your AC. It could be that there is a lack of lubrication, a belt has slipped, a broken motor bearing, or many other issues. While your AC is running, there should not be any of these sounds.

Too Much Moisture

If you are noticing that water is pooling by the unit, this could be an indication that there is a cracked or blocked drain pipe. If it continues, then you could end up getting mold growth. If you have any water damage or leakage around your system then you have a leak in your refrigerant, which is a bad sign, and need to call for help.

Short Cycling AC Unit

Do you notice that your AC will turn on and off quicker than it should? If this is happening, it is called short cycling. It happens when your AC will turn off before it cools down your home. This can happen if you have an incorrect size cooling system, electrical issues, or airflow issues.

Aging or Old AC Unit

Air conditioners cannot last forever, most units only last up to 10 years. The older your AC gets the more likely you will start noticing energy costs increase. You will have more frequent breakdowns, and it does not work as well as it once did.
