Why is Your Air Conditioner Not Working?

When your cooling system is struggling, it tells you. Seemingly small problems, like being generally dissatisfied with your AC’s performance or noticing that your system has to run more often to keep your home cool, don’t always seem like urgent matters. One of the best things you can do as a homeowner or business owner is to familiarize yourself with these symptoms of an AC repair problem. Symptoms of a struggling air conditioner include:

• Inadequate cooling
• A broken or malfunctioning thermostat
• Hot and cold spots in your home
• Hot or warm air coming from your vents
• Strange sounds or smells coming from your vents
• Knocking sounds or shaking of the AC unit
• The AC running continuously or cycling on and off repeatedly
• An unexplained increase in your electric bill

Warning Signs and Common Causes for AC Repair

One of the first signs of a faulty system is strange noises drawing attention to the units. Although a slight humming as the motor runs and a few popping sounds from the vents as the metal chutes expand and contract is normal, anything more is not. Most clanking, rumbling, and grinding sounds occur when internal parts like nuts and bolts, fan belts, or fan blades loosen and knock into other mechanisms. Malfunctions may also happen when moving parts dry out, requiring lubrication. Trust an expert to find the solution to your air conditioning issues. Other warning signs you need AC repair include:

• A skunky smell from a rodent dying in your unit, a mildew odor from water sitting in the condensate drain line or pan for too long or stagnant internal moisture, and feet smell from clogs can all require professional repair. 
• If a drain line clog causes water to back up, you’ll notice pooling or leaking around your unit, but a refrigerant leak is also possible with a damaged line. 
• When your unit runs for too long or short a period, it’s too small or large for the space it’s cooling, and you need a repair or replacement to reduce hot and cold spots.
• Low air output leaves your unit working longer and harder to produce your desired temperature, leading to the need for repair or replacement. 

What Repairs Might A Professional Conduct?

After listening to your concerns, our technician will take apart your unit to find the cause of the malfunction, determining whether you need a part repair or replacement. Some actions our team performs during a repair mirror our regular maintenance checklist:

• Check and recalibrate the thermostat for accurate readings
• Inspect air ducts for cracks and holes that need sealing
• Empty the drain pan and clean the line
• Check refrigerant levels 
• Clean the vents, air ducts, and AC filters
• Fully inspect the condition of all internal parts
