Signs Your AC May Need Maintenance

Published:
May 21, 2020

If you're anything like us, you use your air conditioner almost all summer long. That's why it's important to know the warning signals in case something needs a repair! Read on for some signs that your air conditioner may soon be needing a service or tune-up.

Top 6 Common Signs of AC Problems

Restricted Airflow

If you have weak or inconsistent airflow despite the AC being on, it can be a sign of several things. For example, a struggling or failing AC, a clogged filter, or even problems in your ducting.

Liquids and Leaks

Signs of excess liquid around your AC can indicate more than one issue. If your air conditioner is leaking any excess fluid or it has more condensation than usual, it may affect its efficiency as well as result in mold or mildew growth.

Warm Air

If you're feeling warm airflow even when your AC is on, it may be a sign something is struggling. Warm air results in inefficient (higher bills) and uneven cooling, meaning you won't be as comfortable as you can be.

Uneven Heating

Air conditioners are meant to efficiently and evenly cool your home. Warm and cold spots throughout the home may indicate a failing compressor or a struggling motor.

Loud Noises and Strange Odours

Any loud noises or strange odours mean you should stop your AC immediately and call a professional to prevent issues from becoming worse!

Higher Utility Bills

While we all expect some increase in bills when using an air conditioner during the summer, if you experience higher-than-expected increases, it may be a sign something needs to be serviced — especially if you have a modern, energy-efficient model.

If you experience any of the above issues, consider calling a professional to give your air conditioner a tune-up. Many issues are preventable, especially if problems are addressed early!

AC Tune-Up May Include:

  • Coil inspection and cleaning
  • Refrigerant level check
  • Electrical testing
  • Capacitor testing
  • Drain line inspection
  • Thermostat calibration
  • Airflow testing
