Reasons for AC Repair Services
You shouldn’t attempt to diagnose and fix problems with your cooling system yourself. However, you can stay alert for the typical signs that something’s wrong. Below, we’ve listed just a few of the main symptoms of AC problems.
If your air conditioner emits any sort of foul, pungent odor, then it has an issue. One such smell is that of mustiness. What this usually signifies is that there’s mold somewhere within the unit. Mold growth can occur if there’s a problem with how the AC drains moisture. While this growth won’t greatly hamper your system’s performance, it can make you sick once you breathe in the spores distributed through your vents. We can check out your air conditioner and see why it’s not draining properly.
Keep a close eye on how long your AC cycles. If it shuts down after running for only a few minutes, then it’s short cycling. Causes of short cycling can be things like clogged ducts or air filters or an issue with the thermostat. Our technicians will assess your system and see if you need duct cleaning, a new filter, or a thermostat repair.
