AC problems never seem to happen when they would be simple to deal with them, especially when breaking down will leave you facing the summer heat. The best way to prevent this is to be able to tell when your AC needs repairs. By knowing what to look out for, you can take the initiative and call us to schedule a repair. Summer in New York can get hot, but with the help of Rebmann Plumbing, Heating and Cooling technicians, we can help you get an AC repair and avoid being left in the heat.
Here are 7 signs that you need an AC repair in New York:
Increased energy bills
If you’ve noticed that your energy bills are creeping up, it might be worth checking on your AC. AC units can get worn down over time and it’ll eventually have to work harder to keep up with its regular performance. Not only does this cost more, but it also hurts the AC’s lifespan due to unnecessary strain.
Strange, loud noises
Modern AC units run quietly, but certain internal problems can cause them to make plenty of noise. There are a few different things that could be causing the noise. There might be a part loose or broken, a component might need lubrication, or a belt might have slipped out of place. Whatever it is, it can be damaging and costly if not repaired. If your AC is being noisy, call us right away!
Moisture
A leaky AC can be a sign of a serious repair job. If the AC is leaking water or has ice inside it, that’s just a problem with a drain tube. The water can cause some mold and mildew, but it could be worse. What you really have to worry about is your AC having a refrigerant leak. Not only is Freon poisonous, but the leak is a serious AC problem. Whatever problem you have, call one of our technicians ASAP.
Warm air
Obviously, you bought an AC to cool your house, not sit around looking pretty. If it’s not keeping the house comfortable during hot weather, it’s time to give it an examination. Our technicians can diagnose the issue and get you back into comfortable temperatures.Â
Low airflow
A similar issue to the air being hot is the airflow not being strong enough. It might be an issue with the AC’s compressor or possibly the ducts themselves. There’s definitely some uncertainty in this issue, so it’s a good idea to call a professional to diagnose it.
Strange odors
If the air in your home is starting to smell strange, there might be trouble. If your AC is poorly maintained, mold might be growing on the coil inside the unit. When your AC is operating, it’ll spread that mold through the air. That musty smell could be a sign of mold in either the unit or the duct work. Alternatively, the wire insulation inside your AC might be burnt out. This will create a burnt smell around your AC unit. With either problem, it’s worth calling in a professional to fix the issue.
