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

October 13, 2017

Your air conditioner is vital to keeping you comfortable throughout the warmer Laurel days. If your system breaks down, it can really influence your comfort! So, how can you determine when you might need an AC repair? Sometimes your air conditioner will exhibit symptoms that it needs care before it breaks down completely. Watch for any of the following symptoms and give H&C Heating and Cooling a call if you suspect your AC is on the fritz.

If you notice a lack of cooled air or decreased airflow, this is a definite sign that something is wrong. Give the experts at H&C Heating and Cooling a call if your house doesn’t seem to cool down or if it won’t remain cool. When your AC can’t keep up with your cool-air needs any longer, there’s possibly a problem. Whether it’s running low on Freon, having issues with its condenser, or there’s an issue with your ductwork, our professionals can provide support.

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

If you notice a leak coming from your AC, contact us for an AC repair right away. A condensation leak carries less of a health risk, but you’ll want to get it repaired before you have a bigger problem, like mold growth.

Bad or unfamiliar odors coming from your registers are indications that your system requires service.

If you feel you’re in need of an AC repair from any of these indicators, give H&C Heating and Cooling a call at 301-960-3247 and we’ll be there to help. If your AC is working as it should, but it’s behind schedule for a routine maintenance visit, we suggest you call to set one up. It could save you from costly, larger repairs down the line. We look forward to helping you.
