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

October 13, 2017

Your air conditioner is key to keeping you comfortable during the warmer Dresden days. If your system breaks down, it can really compromise your comfort! So, how can you know when you may need an AC repair? Sometimes your air conditioner will display symptoms that it needs to be looked at before it breaks down completely. Check for any of the following symptoms and give McFadden Heating & 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 McFadden Heating & Cooling a call if your house doesn’t seem to cool down or if it won’t stay cool. When your system can’t keep up with your cool-air needs any longer, there’s possibly a problem. Whether it’s running low on Freon, having challenges with its condenser, or there’s an issue with your ductwork, we can help.

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

If your AC has a leak, call us for an AC repair immediately. A condensation leak poses less of a health risk, but you should get it repaired before there is a bigger problem, like mold growth.

Bad or strange odors coming from your registers are a sign that your system needs to be checked out.

If you suspect you’re in need of an AC repair from any of these indicators, give McFadden Heating & Cooling a call at 1-866-781-0111 and our team can help you. If your AC is working as it should, but it’s overdue for a routine maintenance visit, we urge you to call to set one up. It could save you from expensive, larger repairs down the line. We look forward to helping you.
