Air Conditioning

Common causes: dirty air filter causing restricted airflow, refrigerant levels being low or issues with thermostat settings. Prolonged operation can increase energy costs and strain your system, addressing the issue promplty is essential to maintain efficiency, comfort and minimize costs.

A sudden spike in your energy bill is often a sign that your air conditioning isn't functioning efficiently. Common A/C problems force your A/C to work harder, consuming more energy. Poor installations, lack of maintenace and aging systems also contribute to rising costs. If you notice unusual increases in your energy usage, it's a good idea to have your system inspected to identify and resolve any underlying issues promptly. 

Is your A/C unit providing warm air or no air? If your air conditioner isn't keeping your home or business at the desired temperature, it could indicate an issue that needs professional attention. Common causes include refrigerant leaks, a malfunctioning thermostat or restricted airflow due to dirty filters or blocked ducts. It may also signal that your system is undersized or aging. Addressing this promptly can restore comfort, improve efficiency and prevent further damage to your AC system. 

Excess moisture or puddles around your air conditioning unit can be a serious problem. It may indicate a clogged condensate drain, which prevents the system from properly draining moisture or a refrigerant leak. Prolonged moisture buildup can lead to water damage, mold growth and a decrease in system efficiency. If you notice excess water around your AC, it's important to have it inspected and repaired to avoid further damage and maintain your system's performance. 

Unusual or loud noises coming from your AC unit can indicate a variety of issues, such as a loose or damaged fan, a malfunctioning compressor or debris in the system. These sounds, like grinding, banging or hissing can signal that your system is struggling to operate properly and may lead to more significant damage if left unaddressed. If your AC is making disturbing noises, it's important to have it checked by a professional to avoid additional damage and enhance performance. 

If your air conditioner is running in constant or irregular cycles,  it could be a sign of a problem with the thermostat, or an issue with the system's components, such as the blower motor, condenser motor or capacitors, boards or relays. This erratic behavior can cause your AC to work less efficiently, leading to higher energy costs and potential system wear. Having your unit inspected by a professional can help identify and fix the issue, ensuring your AC runs smoothly and maintains a consistent, comfortable temperature.
