You rely on your air conditioner to stay cool throughout summer and even in the late spring. If you’re worried something’s wrong with your air conditioner and you want to make sure it’s up for the job of keeping your home comfortable, watch out for these signs you need to call us at Energy Sharks to come and fix your AC system.
![7 Signs Air Conditioner Repair is in Your Future [infographic]](https://b2932668.smushcdn.com/2932668/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/141472-Energy-Sharks_Approved_res.jpg?lossy=0&strip=0&webp=1)
1. Insufficient airflow—A blockage could be preventing cooled air from moving through your home’s ductwork. A broken motor, a clogged air filter, or more serious issues can also lead to insufficient airflow.
2. Warm air—If warm air is coming out of your vents, always check your thermostat first. If you have the thermostat switched to cool but your vents are still releasing warm air, a compressor problem or restricted airflow could be the problem.
3. High humidity—Your air conditioner should mitigate humidity levels automatically, keeping that hot, sticky weather outside. If it can’t do this, have us come and check on your system.
4. Frequent cycles—Your air conditioner shouldn’t cycle on and off constantly. A quick tune-up could resolve the issue, or it could lead to the need for a full replacement.
5. Bad odors—Microbial growth is a frequent problem for many air conditioners. Duct cleaning or other repair solutions can rectify this problem before things get even smellier.
6. Unusual noises—Most air conditioners produce low-level sound when they start up and shut down, but if you notice screeching, clanging, or banging sounds coming from your system, you need our help right away.
7. Water leaks—An active leak or pooled water are both signs your air conditioner isn’t functioning properly. Have us come and look at your system right away to prevent structural issues due to water damage.
