What Are The Signs Your Air Conditioner Needs Service?

Your air conditioner will alert you to signs that things aren't nice and operational. In addition to obvious signs, like your air conditioner not working at all, you should keep an eye out for these signs:

• AC is blowing increasingly warm/lukewarm air. Your AC should be consistent and shouldn’t be getting weaker with time.
• AC is blowing softer. You might have an obstruction or clog forming somewhere in your system or a big leak venting air where it shouldn’t be.
• AC is turning on and off constantly. Your AC shouldn’t short-cycle, especially on a hot day when it should be running constantly without turning off.
• You hear strange sounds or there are unusual smells. Even if everything is still working right so far, these should be addressed ASAP.
• You can’t get your system to respond properly to your thermostat. Once your thermostat becomes unreliable, it’s only a matter of time until you need cool air and can’t get it.
• The breaker keeps flipping. Even if you can flip it and get it working each time again, this problem needs to be addressed ASAP to remain safe and avoid damaging your AC.

FAQs

What regular maintenance do air conditioning systems require?

It is imperative to change air filters and clean your evaporator coils regularly. You will also want to remove all debris and obstructions from around the unit to ensure proper airflow. Our technicians can perform these services and test all electrical components, motors, and other systems for proper function. We recommend scheduling maintenance at least once every year.

Do neglected repairs negate the warranty?

If you neglect air conditioning repairs, you may find that doing so invalidates your warranty. For this reason, we recommend keeping detailed records of all services and repairs performed on your system.

Will air conditioning repairs improve efficiency?

Yes, performing prompt repairs on your air conditioning system will improve performance and reliability. Coupled with the installation of shades, drapes, shutters, and screens, your air conditioner will keep your home nice and cool no matter how hot the temperature rises.

How long does a typical air conditioner last?

A well-built and well-maintained air conditioner will provide reliable cooling for about 10 years in Northern Virginia. If you notice that your air conditioner is experiencing increasingly frequent repairs, replacing it with a newer, more energy-efficient unit can be a worthy investment in reliable comfort.
