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 Wharton days. If it breaks down, it can really influence your comfort! So, how can you determine when you might need an AC repair? Sometimes your air conditioner will exhibit symptoms that it needs to be looked at before it breaks down completely. Check for any of the following symptoms and give Faust Air Conditioning and Heating a call if you feel your AC is on the fritz.

If you observe a lack of cooled air or decreased airflow, this is a definite sign that something isn’t right. Give the team at Faust Air Conditioning and Heating a call if your house doesn’t seem to cool down or if it won’t keep cool. When your AC can’t keep up with your cool-air needs any longer, there’s possibly a problem. Whether it’s running low on Freon, having issues with its condenser, or there’s an issue with your ductwork, our professionals can provide support.

Typically, if your air conditioner becomes noisy, there’s usually a problem that warrants AC repair. If you hear squealing or grinding sounds, call us. You shouldn’t hear loud sounds from a properly functioning AC outside of the sound of your fan turning on or shutting off. AC problems that create abnormal sounds indicate a potential breakdown.

If you notice a leak coming from your AC, schedule an AC repair right away. A condensation leak delivers less of a health risk, but it’s wise to get it repaired before there is a bigger problem, like mold growth.

Bad or strange odors coming from your registers indicate your system needs to be checked out.

If you feel you’re in need of an AC repair from any of these indicators, give Faust Air Conditioning and Heating a call at 979-323-6130 and we can help. If your AC is working as it should, but it’s behind schedule for a routine maintenance visit, we encourage you to call to set one up. It could save you from pricey, larger repairs down the line. We look forward to serving you.
