AC Repair: Signs that Air Conditioner Repair is Needed

April 27, 2015

The temperatures are rising in Logan and so are the chances that you’ll be flipping on your air conditioner to stay comfortable. An increase in use also means there is a greater chance for the need of AC repair.

Here are a couple tips on what to watch for and signs that you could need to call in a professional to take a look at your air conditioner.

  • Air isn’t getting cold – Potentially one of the most recognizable signs that your air conditioner isn’t running properly is if the air coming out is warm. If you’ve adjusted the thermostat and aren’t noticing the results in your home, it’s a good indication that you’ll need someone to check it out. Keep in mind if it’s an extremely hot day, it may take longer for your home to cool down.
  • Decrease in airflow – If the air coming out of your vents doesn’t seem to be coming out as fast or strong as you’re used to, there could be a problem. First, try to replace your air filter and if you already have, it’s time to call in the experts at Western Mechanical, Inc..
  • Odd sounds/clinking – Abnormal sounds coming from your air conditioner is more than likely not a good thing. Listen to your air conditioner to hear if it’s making any unusual sounds such as clanking, buzzing or rattling. There are a lot of moving parts inside your air conditioner, which can become loose or damaged after years of wear and tear

When it’s running effectively, try and pay attention to how your air conditioner typically operates. Observe the airflow and how it sounds when on. This will be helpful and offer an understanding of what is normal behavior from your air conditioning system.

Routine maintenance also helps highlight problems before your air conditioner is out-of-service. Schedule an appointment with Western Mechanical, Inc. this spring to proactively make certain your air conditioner is ready to go.  

Before it gets too toasty, test out your air conditioner to see how it runs so you can make any proper repairs. When it is hot out you don’t want to have your indoor comfort compromised as a result of a broken air conditioner.
