Warnings Signs You Need AC Repair

How can you tell if your air conditioner needs repair? From a stinky smell to no cold air coming from the vents, there are many indicators that your cooling system has an issue and needs evaluation or repair.

Here are some warning signs that trouble may be around the corner and it’s time to call an HVAC technician from Childress Heating & AC:

ACNotBlowing

AC won’t blow cold air

If warm air is flowing out of your AC unit instead of cool air, or if the air isn’t as cool as it should be, it’s a wise decision to call us for professional cooling service.

Air conditioning frequently turns on and off

If your AC system starts and stops instead of running consistently, it could be a warning of potential issues and should be evaluated by one of our certified HVAC technicians.

HPConstantlyRuns
ClimbingEnergyBills

Home energy bills increase for seemingly no reason

A big jump in your energy costs can be an indicator your AC unit is not running efficiently, which means it uses more energy to keep your space comfortable and needs AC maintenance or repair.

Odd smells are coming from your air conditioner

Air conditioners shouldn’t produce odors. Unusual odors coming from your air conditioning system should be inspected by an HVAC technician, as they can be a sign of problems like mold, mildew or even electrical issues.

StaleAir
UnusualNoises

AC makes loud noises when it runs

If you hear strange sounds when your air conditioner is running — clanking, rattling or high-pitched whining, to name just a few — it’s important to call for professional HVAC service to get to the bottom of the issue.

I highly recommend Childress Heating & Air. They have been our HVAC maintenance service providers since we moved into our house, earlier this year. They are professional, courteous and respectful. We had to replace an HVAC system recently and the experience was fantastic.
