How to Tell if Your AC is in Need of Emergency Repair

October 13, 2017

Your air conditioner is key to keeping you comfortable throughout the warmer West Valley City days. If it breaks down, it can really impact your comfort! So, how can you determine when you might need an AC repair? Sometimes your air conditioner will exhibit symptoms that it needs care before it breaks down completely. Check for any of the following symptoms and give Select Comfort Systems Heating & Air Conditioning a call if you think your AC is on the fritz.

If you notice a lack of cooled air or decreased airflow, this is a definite sign that something is wrong. Give the team at Select Comfort Systems Heating & Air Conditioning a call if your house doesn’t seem to cool down or if it won’t keep cool. When your air conditioner can’t keep up with your cool-air needs any longer, there’s possibly a problem. Whether it’s running low on Freon, having challenges with its condenser, or there’s an issue with your ductwork, our professionals can provide support.

Typically, if your air conditioner becomes noisy, there’s probably a problem that needs AC repair. If you hear squealing or grinding sounds, call us. You shouldn’t hear a lot of noise from a properly working AC outside of the sound of your fan turning on or shutting off. AC problems that create abnormal sounds indicate a potential breakdown.

If you notice a leak coming from your AC, call us for an AC repair immediately. A condensation leak carries less of a health risk, but you should get it repaired before there is a bigger problem, like mold growth.

Bad or strange odors coming from your registers indicate your system needs to be checked out.

If you suspect you’re in need of an AC repair from any of these indicators, give Select Comfort Systems Heating & Air Conditioning a call at 801-305-4777 and we’ll be there to help. If your AC is working as it should, but it’s overdue for a routine maintenance visit, we urge you to call to set one up. It could save you from costly, larger repairs down the line. We look forward to working with you.
