A lot of homeowners ask us how they can tell if they really need air conditioning repairs. Now, an air conditioner that won’t start up at all is an obvious sign of trouble, but you really do not want to wait for your system to break down entirely before taking action. It is far more preferable to have your system repaired before such serious issues develop. That is why we’d like to share some tips with you that can help you to recognize the signs that you need air conditioning repairs in Spring, TX.
Is Your Air Conditioner Stopping too Soon?
We wrote about short cycling in a recent blog post, and it is a problem that you really should not ignore. If your air conditioner is starting up and shutting down too rapidly, you may just need to replace your air filter. However, you could have a problem with malfunctioning components or even a refrigerant leak. Feel free to check the filter, but contact us if there is no obvious cause of the problem.
Is Your Air Conditioner Blowing Warm Air?
This is a pretty clear cut sign of trouble, but it may not actually necessitate professional repair services. You should check your thermostat settings before giving us a call, as well as your circuit breaker. The circuit for the outdoor unit may have tripped, leaving your blower to force warm air throughout the ducts. Again, though, issues like refrigerant leaks could be at play, which will require professional intervention.
Is Your Air Conditioner Costing More to Run?
If so, then you could be dealing with any number of problems. Now, you’re obviously going to be paying more to use your AC the more you use it. However, you should also have a general idea of how much you pay to cool your home. If you find that your cooling costs are spiking without an obvious cause, contact us to have your system inspected and, if necessary, repaired.
