In Cleveland, OH, with its muggy summers and harsh winters, air conditioning repair can’t be put off for too long. It helps to know how to spot problems with your air conditioning system, allowing you to call in a trained professional in a timely fashion. Here are three signs that your air conditioning is in need of repair:
- Higher bills: If you find that your monthly electric bills are going up, and you aren’t using your appliances any more than normal, the fault may lie with your air conditioning system. A build-up of dust and dirt in the system can translate to reduced efficiency, as can a damaged or malfunctioning component, or leaking refrigerant. None of these issues will necessarily stop your air conditioning system from functioning, but they will make it work harder, a fact you’ll notice when those monthly bills arrive.
- Reduced air flow or warmer air: Clogs or blocks in the system can reduce your air flow to a minimum, as can a malfunctioning blower fan. If your air flow seems fine but the air being blown isn’t very cool, your system might be leaking refrigerant. All of which are issues that call for professional attention to correct.
- The AC won’t turn on: It’s a pretty direct sign of a problem if your air conditioning system refuses to even engage. Many of the system’s components have safety switches, which turn the unit off if there’s danger of an overload. This helps prevent further damage while alerting you to the issue. The AC system may also refuse to turn on if electricity isn’t flowing to is, which suggests a problem with your wiring or the circuit breakers. It also might as simple a problem as a blown fuse or a malfunctioning thermostat.
