Your cooling system is a collection of internal HVAC components that work together to keep your home comfortable. Here, we’re going to discuss some problems that you might have noticed which could be an indication that something inside the equipment needs to be repaired.
No More Cold Air
This common problem typically indicates that your air conditioner is running low on refrigerant, which should always be capped off by a qualified HVAC technician. However, if it’s blowing warm or hot air, this is most likely a damaged or fully blown compressor.
Frightening Noises
If you notice small, strange noises coming from the system, this could be something as simple as a loose part that needs to be tightened or possibly replaced. On the other hand, if you hear more-frightening noises such as grinding or ticking, this could indicate a serious problem that requires full placement of the system.
Unpleasant Odors
Slight odors could include something as simple as burning dust or mold, which can present a cleanliness problem and not an HVAC component issue. If it smells like and electronic component is burning, however, it’s important that you not use the unit until you can get it checked out.
Your HVAC Unit Randomly Shuts Off
All HVAC systems will obviously switch on and off in order to maintain the desired temperature, but if your HVAC unit is randomly shutting off on an inconsistent basis or what seems to be too often, you should call a technician. This may simply be a blown fuse, but it could also indicate a more serious issue.
Your Energy Bills Are Higher
The telltale sign that either your HVAC components or the entire system are under distress is a higher energy bill for what seems to be no reason. Whether or not the system has gone through its annual check with an HVAC technician, you definitely want to call a professional to see if either repair or replacement is necessary.
