5 Signs Your AC Needs Repair

5 Signs Your AC Needs Repair ODD NOISES While humming and rushing air are not usually a concern, any knocking, growling, squealing or rattling could indicate serious trouble with the compressor or the condenser; professional assessment is highly recommended. UNUSUAL SMELLS An air conditioner should never give off peculiar smells. If yours does, it could be a sign of mold, damaged duct work or malfunctioning components. DECREASED AIRFLOW Airflow can become restricted in several ways; either there is a problem with the duct work, the fan, or there is a blockage or leak elsewhere in the system. On Off EXCESSIVE CYCLING If your unit seems to cycle on and off more than typical, it could mean that your thermostat is malfunctioning. It could also mean that cold air is escaping; check your home for leaks and add some weather stripping if needed. TRIPPING CIRCUIT BREAKERS If your air conditioner starts to trip your circuit breakers, you may have a significant electrical problem. Turn the air conditioner off right away and don't turn it back on until a professional has examined it. KEEP YOUR COOL! OFOX A/C SERVICE & REPAIR (512)442-6782 SERVICE COMPANY LIC A TACLA2586C
