Top Reasons to Contact for Your Emergency AC Repair
Annual maintenance can help to prevent most major repairs. However, if you have experienced any of the following signs, contact our specialists immediately!
1. Low Air Flow
An unexpected drop in air flow can mean that you deal with one of the following problems:
- Dirty or blocked air filter – Check the filter and replace it yourself before requesting AC repair.
- **Frozen evaporator coils – **They might get frozen because of poor clearance near the outdoor condenser unit, dirt on the filter or coils, or a refrigerant leak.
- Broken AC Blower Fan – Your blower fans are supposed to help move air through your vents, but if the blower becomes too dirty or worn out, its performance might be impacted.
2. Strange Smells
Your AC should not produce any smells normally. However, when you smell something that smells musty coming out of your vents, it means that you have mold growth as a result of water leakage or too much moisture. Burning odor from either the blower or outside units is likely caused by issues with wiring and/or circuitry, and requires professional attention.
3. Odd or Loud Noises
All sudden odd noises produced by your AC, including grinding, squealing, or crackling, mean that you have loose or broken components. Shut down the system immediately and call for professional help to avoid causing more damage to your appliance.
4. Warm Air Blowing Out of Supply Vents
First of all, double-check that your thermostat is turned to “cool” and not to “heat.” You should also make sure that the desired temperature is much lower than the current one. If that’s not the case, call an expert HVAC company for emergency repairs.
5. Refrigerant/Water Leakage
Water leakage is normal due to condensation in your air conditioning unit. If you see excessive standing water around the unit, please contact professionals immediately for repair service.
6. AC Not Turning On or Cooling
If your AC is working but doesn’t provide sufficient cooling or fails to start, check your circuit breaker to make sure your unit is receiving power. In case the circuit breaker is tripped, switch it to the “On” mode. If your breaker keeps tripping, don’t restore the power and contact our team for emergency AC repair services.
