Higher Utility Bills

We all expect our energy bills to rise as the temperatures do as well, but if your bill seems abnormally high then it might be time to have your unit checked out. A high bill means the unit is constantly running, and this not only raises your monthly expense, it can cut down on the lifespan of the unit itself since the components are being stressed more often than they should.

Leaks

Every AC unit creates condensation and when the unit is working properly there are pipes which remove this excess water from your home. Sometimes, these pipes can become clogged with dirt, dust or other debris and cause leaking from the air handler. If you notice water near your unit, it’s time to call a professional.

Warm Air Blowing

Warm air coming from your vents is definitely not a welcome sign in the summertime and it’s an obvious cry for help from your unit. If your unit is blowing warm air, the unit could be lacking freon. When a unit runs low on freon, it can cause the condenser lines to ice up, causing the unit to stop producing cool air. If you see ice forming on the lines running from your unit into your home, turn the system off and give us a call.

Strange Sounds

When an air conditioner unit is under constant stress, it can cause crucial components to warp, bend or otherwise change shape and scrape or wobble while the unit runs. While this doesn’t always mean your unit will stop working immediately, it is a sign for repair and if these parts are left to operate in a less than ideal condition it can cause bigger problems in the future.

Stale/Humid Air

Part of the job of your AC unit is to circulate fresh air throughout your home and keep the quality of your indoor pleasant and free from contaminants. If you notice the air in your home is overly humid, smells and smoke tends to linger and/or the cooling is uneven from room to room, there could be an obstruction in the ducts causing these issues and keeping your system from working properly.
