Six Signs of an Air Conditioning Problem

No one likes it when the air conditioning stops working, especially on a hot summer day. Knowing the telltale signs of a broken AC unit can help property owners recognize an issue before it becomes full-blown. Here are six common signs that your air conditioning system may need repair:

• Poor Air Flow: Is there weaker air flow than usual? This could be caused by a clogged filter, blocked vents, or perhaps even a failing compressor. 
• Pooling Water: This could indicate any number of issues related to refrigerant leaks and drainage problems. A professional Everett air conditioning repair technician can diagnose these types of issues quickly, and minimize further damage to the system.
• Higher Energy Costs: Does it seem like the energy bills have been steadily increasing? This could be due to an inefficient system running harder and longer than normal. Product Air Heating & Cooling, LLC can be counted on to give an honest assessment of whether repair can provide a long-term fix, or if the more cost-effective solution might be to go with new installation. 
• Irregular Cycling: Air conditioners should cycle off and on at regular intervals throughout the day, in order to maintain proper temperatures in a home or office space. If these cycles become irregular, or the unit runs constantly without ever shutting off, this is a good reason to give us a call.
• Strange Noises: Odd squeaking, rattling, grinding, or humming noises coming from an AC unit should not be ignored. These can indicate various mechanical issues that need prompt attention, to prevent worsening over time, and leading to more expensive repairs. 
• Strange Odors: Foul odors coming from the AC system often mean that something is wrong. It’s best to get the system looked at right away, so that any mold buildup or other sources of contamination don’t spread throughout the air supply.

In addition to all of the above, there’s also the none-too-subtle “sign” that happens when the air conditioning system just blows hot air. Product Air Heating & Cooling, LLC can be reached at (425) 336-3881 or by filling out our online contact form. Contact us today.
