Signs that AC Repair is Needed

July 08, 2019

You depend on your air conditioner to keep you cool on the warm Front Royal summer days. When you are ready for an AC repair, your air conditioner will give you a number of signs to let you know you need to call Dave's Diversified Services to keep your summer days cool.

One of the most obvious signs you are in need of an AC repair is a lack of cooled air and/or poor airflow. If your home isn’t staying cool, give us a call. Unfortunately, when your air conditioner doesn’t keep up with your cooling needs, it’s generally a more serious problem. Your AC unit may have condenser issues or it may be running low on Freon. Low airflow could also be a symptom of a ductwork issue. Whatever the problem is, you can be sure our pros will be there to guide you to your best choices, whether it’s an AC repair or investment in a new air conditioner.

Leaks from your air conditioner are often a sign that an AC repair is in order. If you see a leak from your AC, call for a repair asap. If you have a refrigerant leak, it could produce health problems for your family. If it’s a leak due to condensation, the health risk lessens, but you will still want to take care of it before it turns into a greater problem like mold growth.

It’s a rule of thumb that if any part of your HVAC system starts to make uncommon sounds, it’s potentially a sign of trouble. When it comes to your AC, these categories of troubling sounds include squealing or grinding. Ultimately, your air conditioner should work relatively quietly and you shouldn’t be able to hear more than the sound of your fan kick on or shut off. Sounds from your AC could signify the need for a fix as simple as needing lubricant in some of the moving parts to something more serious that could lead to a breakdown. Your best chances are to give us a call to help nip the problem in the bud.

If you notice any odor coming from your vents, it could point to some AC-related challenges, too. You should always have a technician help you get to the root of any odors related to your HVAC system, as they could range from mold growth to problematic electrical issues.

Sometimes it may seem that your air conditioner is having problems, but it’s indeed your thermostat than requires attention. If your home temperature isn’t where you’re programming it to be, the team at Dave's Diversified Services will be able to confirm if the problem is actually with your thermostat. It might just be a wiring problem or a blocked sensor, or it may be time to replace the thermostat.
