Regular maintenance from a trained HVAC technician can keep your cooling system in tip-top condition and maximize its lifespan. Unfortunately, your unit may develop issues even after servicing it periodically. It’s essential to look for signs indicating that your appliance is malfunctioning and get a professional inspection and repair before it’s too late. Here are four of the early warning signs that your AC unit may need repair.
1. Strange Noises
Most modern home ACs are relatively quiet while they are running, so you might have a serious issue if your cooling unit suddenly starts producing strange, loud noises. Some of the noises might result from loose parts hitting the other parts. A whistling or grinding sound might signal a more serious problem that might soon cause your air conditioner to stop working.
If your unit produces sudden or unusual sounds when you turn it on, contact a trained HVAC technician from Rosenberg Plumbing & Air. We will skillfully inspect your appliance to determine why it is producing unusual sounds and then take the necessary repairs to ensure that your cooling unit produces minimal noise.
2. Abnormal Air Patterns
Your air conditioner may also need a tune-up if you notice abnormal air patterns after turning it on. For instance, the thermostat might be faulty if the unit produces warm air. Before enlisting the services of a repair person, check whether you have switched on the thermostat and have set the temperature settings correctly. It’s also a good idea to check the batteries if it has them. If everything appears in order, you might have a problem that only an experienced HVAC technician can handle.
Insufficient airflow may also indicate that your cooling appliance is failing. This problem usually arises when air conditioners have clogged filters, broken motors, or other serious issues. If you change your filters and the system is still not blowing sufficient air, you should hire a professional technician to uncover the issue and handle the repair. Trying to do complicated repairs on your own could lead to more damage to your unit. Our team will work hard to get to the root of the problem and complete the repair promptly to ensure proper airflow.
3. Unusual Smells
If your cooling system produces an unpleasant odor, you must act quickly before it becomes a big problem, especially if it smells like oil, plastic, or metal is burning. You might only need to clean the appliance. However, a more serious issue might require a more complex solution. You can find out the source of the smell by hiring a qualified technician from Rosenberg Plumbing & Air to inspect your cooling unit. After uncovering the problem, we will eliminate the foul odor.
4. Water Leaks
It is fairly common for your cooling unit to have water on the inside part because it produces condensation when operating. However, the water should not leak to the outer part and into your home. If you notice water leaks around your cooling unit, you might have a problem that a professional technician should check out immediately.
Prompt repairs are crucial because the leaking water can cause property damage or structural issues that might require expensive repairs in the future. If you enlist the services of a professional technician from Rosenberg Plumbing & Air, they will inspect your appliance to determine what is causing the leak. They will then repair the air conditioner to prevent leakage and ensure that your appliance is running properly.
