How to Tell if Your AC is in Need of Emergency Repair

October 13, 2017

Your air conditioner is crucial to keeping you comfortable during the warmer Mount Pleasant days. If your system breaks down, it can really impact your comfort! So, how do you recognize when you may need an AC repair? Sometimes your air conditioner will display symptoms that it needs care before it breaks down completely. Be on the lookout for any of the following symptoms and give Olde Towne Heating & Air a call if you suspect your AC is on the fritz.

If you see a lack of cooled air or decreased airflow, this is a definite sign that something isn’t right. Give the experts at Olde Towne Heating & Air a call if your house doesn’t seem to cool down or if it won’t remain cool. When your air conditioner can’t keep up with your cool-air needs any longer, there’s possibly a problem. Whether it’s running low on Freon, having challenges with its condenser, or there’s an issue with your ductwork, we are here to help.

In general, if your air conditioner becomes noisy, there’s probably a problem that requires AC repair. If you hear squealing or grinding sounds, contact us. You shouldn’t hear loud sounds from a properly functioning AC outside of the sound of your fan turning on or shutting off. AC problems that create abnormal sounds signify a potential breakdown.

If you notice a leak coming from your AC, schedule an AC repair right away. A condensation leak delivers less of a health risk, but you’ll want to get it repaired before you’re faced with a bigger problem, like mold growth.

Bad or unusual odors coming from your registers are indications that your system needs to be checked out.

If you suspect you’re in need of an AC repair from any of these indicators, give Olde Towne Heating & Air a call at 843-485-0967 and our team can help you. If your AC is working as it should, but it’s overdue for a routine maintenance visit, we encourage you to call to set one up. It could save you from expensive, larger repairs down the line. We look forward to working with you.
