5 signs you need to repair your AC system

Summer is coming, which means the warm water is fast approaching! Plan ahead and prepare for the heat by ensuring your HVAC system is in great working order and schedule any air conditioning repairs that are needed before it is too late, below are some signs you should look out for to ensure your HVAC system is ready for summer! 

5 Signs you need to repair your Air Conditioning system:

  1. Unit Blowing Hot Air
    – If your air conditioner is blowing hot or warm air into your home, it probably means you need to call an HVAC technician to come into your home and inspect the unit. They will inspect, diagnose, and repair your air conditioner.
  2. Weak Air Flow
    – Why is your air conditioner not blowing “full-force” air into your home? If you notice cold air coming out of your air conditioner vents, but it is not enough force to circulate and cool off the room, this is a sign your air conditioner needs repairing. Often the issue is with the unit’s compressor, but it also may be problems with your ducts as well.
  3. Thermostat Not Working
    – The thermostat is essentially your HVAC units command centre. A properly functioning thermostat allows your HVAC system to know when and how hard to work in order to control the climate inside your home. First, check to see if your thermostat requires new batteries, if that does not seem to be the problem, you should call an HVAC technician to diagnose and repair the issue.
  4. Noisy During Use
    – If you hear your HVAC system making noises such as a squealing, scraping, or grinding sounds, it is possible that a belt or some other internal hardware may be broken or malfunctioning.
  5. Your Air Conditioning Unit Is 10 Years Old (Or Older)
    – Like any machine, your HVAC unit does have a lifespan. Once that lifespan is reached, there is not much you can do to improve the situation or problems that are occurring. You could keep calling an HVAC technician to constantly come diagnose and fix all problems that keep occurring, but it would be cheaper if you look into replacing your HVAC unit. You can get an HVAC technician to come into your home and give you a quote to replace your unit.
