The Common Signs You Need AC Repair
Recognizing the early signs of an air conditioning problem can help prevent more serious and potentially more expensive issues down the line.
Call us if you notice the following:
- Insufficient cooling: This is the most obvious sign that some professional attention is needed. If your AC is blowing warm air or not cooling your space as effectively as it used to, there could be an issue with the compressor or refrigerant levels.
- Strange noises: Unusual sounds such as grinding, squealing, or banging coming from your air conditioning unit often indicate mechanical problems or loose components. Ignoring these noises can lead to more significant damage and higher repair costs.
- Frequent cycling: If your AC frequently turns on and off, it could be due to an underlying issue, such as a malfunctioning thermostat or an overworked system. This constant cycling can wear out your unit faster and increase energy consumption.
- High humidity levels: An effective air conditioner should regulate humidity levels in your home. If you notice excessive moisture or a sticky feeling indoors, your AC might be struggling and need repair work.
- Foul odors: Musty or burning smells emanating from your AC unit can be a sign of mold growth or electrical issues. These odors should be investigated immediately to avoid fire hazards, potential health risks, and property damage.
- Leaking or pooling water: Water leaks around your air conditioner can indicate problems with the condensate drain or refrigerant lines. Prompt attention can help prevent water damage to your system components and the surrounding area.
- Increased energy bills: A spike in your utility bills without any change in usage on your part often points to an inefficient AC system. This inefficiency usually results from parts needing repair or replacement, causing the unit to work harder than necessary.

Knowing When to Repair or Replace Your AC Unit
Everything mechanical comes to an end eventually, and your AC system is no different.
If you are not sure if you should repair or replace your current system, consider the following:
- Age of the unit: Generally, AC units have a lifespan of 10-15 years. If your system is approaching or exceeding this age range, replacement may be more cost-effective than frequent repairs.
- Frequency of repairs: If you find yourself calling for repairs multiple times a year, it might be time to consider a new unit. Just like with a car, frequent breakdowns eventually become more expensive than just getting a new one.
- R-22 refrigerant phase-out: If your AC unit uses R-22 refrigerant, keep in mind that this substance is being phased out due to environmental concerns. Replacing an R-22 unit might be more economical than retrofitting it to use a newer refrigerant.
- Home renovations: If you’re planning significant renovations or additions to your home, your current AC system may no longer be adequate. Upgrading to a more powerful unit may give your entire home the best chance to remain cool and comfortable.
- Environmental impact: Modern AC systems are designed to minimize their carbon footprint, helping you contribute to a more sustainable future.
- Warranty coverage: If your current unit's warranty has expired, it might be financially prudent to invest in a new system with comprehensive coverage. A new warranty can provide peace of mind and protect you from unexpected repair costs.
