When the weather starts to heat up this spring, you’ll be ready to flip on the air conditioner in your Navarre, FL, home. However, your system needs to be working properly to give you the cooler temperatures you need to stay comfortable. Learn about five common issues you may face with your AC this spring and when you need to call for repairs.
1. Air From the Vents Isn’t Cold
When the air conditioner is set to cooling mode, cold air should blow from the vents. If the air is room temperature, warm or hot, you need help. This could be due to a lack of refrigerant, frozen coils, or other issues that require professional help.
2. You’re Hearing Strange Noises
Your air conditioner shouldn’t make loud or strange noises as it cycles. If you hear loud banging or clanging, whistling, rattling or anything else out of the ordinary, call our service technicians right away. These unusual noises indicate a malfunction that could cause more damage to the system if it continues to run without repairs.
3. There’s Insufficient Airflow
Even if the air coming from your vents is ice cold, it won’t be enough to cool your home if it only trickles out. Insufficient airflow could be a sign of clogged filters, dirty coils, or a faulty motor. No matter the cause, this issue requires professional attention so you can get your living space to the desired temperature.
4. The AC Runs in Frequent, Short Cycles
A wide range of problems and malfunctions can cause your air conditioner to cycle more often than normal. If you notice that your AC stays on for a short time and the time between cycles is shorter than usual, call us for repairs.
5. You Smell Foul Odors
Your AC and the cold air it blows through the vents should be odorless. If you smell a burning odor, musty or rotten smells, or anything else that doesn’t belong, your system may be malfunctioning.
When your air conditioner isn’t quite up to the task of cooling your home this spring, you need professional HVAC technicians you can trust. Call our trusted service professionals at All Seasons Service Network at the first sign of trouble so we can make AC repairs and get your Navarre home’s system back on track.
