HOW TO TELL THAT YOUR AIR CONDITIONER NEEDS REPLACING
Admin • February 15, 2016
You rely on your air conditioner, particularly during the warmest months of summer, so it’s important to know when problems are afoot. Some issues are easy to identify, such as a unit which simply won’t fire up. Sometimes subtler warning signs surface, however, affording you the opportunity to make repairs before your A/C goes kaput.
COMMON WARNING SIGNS
There are a few frequent red flags you should look out for whenever powering up your air conditioner:
- Are you hearing unusual sounds or noises from the unit?
- Do you notice water leaking from indoor A/C equipment?
- Has your thermostat lost power or simply gone blank?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, it might be a good idea to schedule a service call with professionals in your area. Otherwise, you just might find yourself without a reliable means of cooling your home when you really need it.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
There are a few basic tricks of the trade to fall back on before calling in the pros. Consider the following:
- Change out filters as recommended, usually every three to six months.
- Make sure your thermostat is set properly, both in terms of program and temperature.
- Check to see if air is flowing properly from vents and ensure they’re opened properly.
