The Signs Your AC Needs to Be Repaired or Replaced
Fast action may be able to stop, or at least mitigate, more expensive damage. Call us when you notice any of these warning signs:
- Warm air: Perhaps the most obvious sign, if your AC is blowing warm or lukewarm air instead of cool air, it could be due to a refrigerant leak, a malfunctioning compressor, or issues with the condenser.
- Unusual noises: If your air conditioning unit starts grinding, squealing, or banging, it’s a clear sign that something is wrong. These noises often indicate issues with internal components, such as the motor or fan.
- Poor airflow: This could be due to a clogged filter, ductwork issues, or a failing compressor. Poor airflow reduces the efficiency of your system and makes it harder to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
- Frequent cycling: This is when your AC unit turns on and off more frequently than usual. It can result from an oversized unit, thermostat problems, or electrical failures. Frequent cycling affects your comfort and puts unnecessary strain on your system.
- High humidity levels: Your AC system is designed to regulate humidity levels in your home. If you notice that your living space feels more humid than usual, even when the AC is running, it may indicate a problem with the dehumidification process.
- An unpleasant aroma: Foul or musty smells coming from your AC vents can indicate mold or mildew growth within the system or ductwork. Additionally, a burning smell could indicate an electrical issue.
- Higher utility bills: When your monthly costs suddenly go up, even though you haven’t substantially changed your lifestyle, the result is often an inefficient and failing AC system that needs to work harder to produce the same output.
- Water leaks: Pooled water around your AC unit, or a noticeable increase in condensation, can be caused by problems with the drainage system, such as a blocked drain line or a refrigerant leak. Water damage can lead to mold growth and further complications.
- Thermostat issues: Sometimes, the problem isn’t with the AC unit itself but with the thermostat. If the AC doesn’t respond to temperature settings or displays incorrect readings, it might need recalibration or replacement.
How Do I Decide Between Repairing and Replacing My AC Unit?
AC units typically last about 10-15 years. If your system is within or beyond this age range and experiencing frequent issues, replacing it might be more cost-effective. Newer models are more energy-efficient and often have advanced features that enhance comfort and savings.
Regardless of age, if you find yourself calling for AC repairs more frequently than usual, it might be time to consider a replacement. The cumulative cost of multiple repairs can quickly add up, making investing in a new, reliable system more economical.
The professionals from our Douglasville office have earned a good reputation for giving reliable assessments on the decision between AC repair and replacement. We’re proud of the good reviews we’ve earned from our customers, and we welcome the opportunity to earn your confidence.
