Is Air Conditioner Repair Necessary?
Even if you regularly schedule tune-ups, cleanings, and maintenance, an air conditioning unit always has some risk of problems. AC units have lots of moving parts. Even something as simple as flying debris from lawn mowing can damage exterior condenser coils, too.
Electrical issues can develop for a variety of reasons, including power surges and storms. Refrigerant lines can even develop leaks because fittings slowly loosen.
Some AC repair issues can be quite subtle, too. Your system might experience a performance reduction that doesn’t necessarily stop it from working. You might notice less cool air. Also, some systems simply work harder to make up the difference, meaning the evidence ends up on your electric bill.
Pay attention to some of the most common potential signs of trouble.
- Musty scents
- Noisy AC operation
- Long or repeated cycles
- Ice forming on coils
- Puddles near AC equipment
