Signs that AC Repair is Needed

July 08, 2019

You rely on your air conditioner to keep you cool on the warm Murrieta summer days. When the time comes for an AC repair, your air conditioner will give you a number of signs to let you know you need to call Cool Air Solutions to keep your summer days cool.

One of the most blatant signs you are in need of an AC repair is a reduction in cooled air and/or poor airflow. If your home isn’t staying cool, give us a shout. Unfortunately, when your air conditioner doesn’t sustain your cooling needs, it’s usually a more serious problem. Your AC unit may have condenser issues or it may be running low on Freon. Low airflow could also be a symptom of a ductwork issue. Whatever the difficulty is, you can be sure our experts will be there to guide you to your best choices, whether it’s an AC repair or investment in a new air conditioner.

Leaks from your air conditioner are normally a sign that an AC repair is in order. If you notice a leak from your AC, call for a repair immediately. If you have a refrigerant leak, it could cause health problems for your family. If it’s a leak due to condensation, the health risk is lower, but you will still want to take care of it before it turns into a bigger problem like mold growth.

It’s a rule of thumb that if any part of your HVAC system starts to make unusual sounds, it’s likely a sign of trouble. When it comes to your AC, these kinds of troubling sounds include squealing or grinding. Basically, your air conditioner should operate relatively quietly and you shouldn’t be able to hear more than the sound of your fan kick on or shut off. Sounds from your AC could signify the need for a fix as simple as needing lubricant in some of the moving parts to something more serious that could result in a breakdown. Your best move is to give us a call to help determine the best steps.

If you notice any odor coming from your vents, it could point to some AC-related problems, too. You should always have an expert help you get to the root of any odors related to your HVAC system, as they could range from mold growth to problematic electrical issues.

Sometimes it may appear your air conditioner is having problems, but it’s actually your thermostat than needs attention. If your home temperature isn’t where you’re programming it to be, the experts at Cool Air Solutions will be able to confirm if the problem is actually with your thermostat. It may just be a wiring problem or a blocked sensor, or it may be time to get a new thermostat.
