Watch for AC Problems Early in the Season

Spring is almost here, and that means summer will be on its way soon. We may not have much need of our air conditioners now, but soon enough we’ll be running them every day. And nothing is worse than an air conditioner that breaks down on the hottest day of the year.

The good news is that our trained technicians can provide swift repairs in the event they are needed. But we believe that an ounce of prevention beats a pound of cure, and that stopping problems before they start is better than dealing with them after they’ve shut your system down. Now is the time to do that, before the weather gets warmer.

One easy solution is to schedule a maintenance session, which gives the technician a chance to look at your entire system and check for any problems. Small issues can be dealt with before they grow large, and large issues can be dealt with before they cause a breakdown.

Beyond that, you can check for specific signs of trouble. While a layman should never attempt to diagnose an air conditioning repair issues themselves, it’s not hard to notice when something is off about your system. Simply run your air conditioner for 15-20 minutes, and look for anything out of the ordinary. Some of the more common signs of trouble include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Strange noises that don’t match your system’s regular sounds. In most cases, they start and stop with the starting and the stopping of the air conditioner.
• Low air flow from your vents, or air flow that has stopped entirely
• Warm air, or air that isn’t as cool as you are expecting.
• Short cycling, which means the system turns on and off rapidly multiple times throughout the day.
