Air Conditioner on the Fritz? Here’s When You Need to Schedule AC Repair
Air conditioner units are one of the saving graces of summer when the St. Louis heat and humidity gets too much. However, when they start acting up, especially during the middle of summer, they become one of the greatest sources of frustration. Here are 5 signs that you should call for AC repair, sooner than later:
- Low Airflow – If you notice the outflow of your cool air is low or perhaps your AC is having to run all day nonstop to provide any comfort to your home, it is time to call in a professional to diagnose the problem and get your unit back to running smoothly.
- Leaks – Have you noticed leaking from your indoor or outdoor unit that you previously may have chalked up to just a bit of condensation? Any kind of leak is a stark indicator of a larger problem. Don’t let that go unaddressed.
- Strange Noises – Whether it is ticking, banging, grinding, or just something about your air conditioner that sounds off, get it checked. A professional will be able to diagnose the issue swiftly and after an AC repair, will have your unit back to its best condition.
- Short Cycling – Your unit is short cycling if it runs for a brief time and then stops, only to start back up again. These brisk cycles are a sign that your AC unit needs repair and should be looked at as soon as possible.
- The Unit Doesn’t Switch On – If you are struggling to get your air conditioner started at all, you have probably already called a professional to sort the issue out. In the event you haven’t, let us know. We will come make the AC repair for you, whether that is addressing the thermostat or the unit itself. You shouldn’t have to suffer in this heat any longer!
