It is getting near the end of summer in Rhode Island, but there are still a few hot days left. If your air conditioning unit needed a tune-up, would you know it? Here are 4 obvious – and not-so-obvious – symptoms of an AC system in need of repair.
Signs you may need an AC repair
1 – Not blowing cool air. Is your AC unit blowing less air and possibly even warm air? This could mean that your filters are clogged. If you air filters are dirty, your AC unit is working very hard to produce less than excellent results. Call an air conditioning specialist at CARJON to eliminate the dirt and debris that’s clogging your air filter.
2 – Your electric bill is higher than normal. AC units need routine maintenance, and if yours missed its yearly checkup it could be costing you money. If your energy bill seems higher than usual, consider that it could be your AC unit. Heating and AC can take an average of 43% of the monthly utility bill and an inefficient AC unit can skyrocket that number. Stop wasting your hard earned money on an air conditioner that is not doing its job.
3 – Noise level. Is your AC unit producing more than just cool air? If you are noticing extra noise coming from your AC it is definitely worth calling CARJON. Loud units, especially clanking sounds, need to be checked out immediately.
4 – Dirty Coils. Having a dirty condenser or evaporator coil can drastically lower the efficiency of your AC unit. Dirty coils can result in high energy consumption and ineffective home cooling. If your condenser or evaporator coil remains unmaintained, it will quickly reduce the life of your AC unit, leading to larger expenses further down the road. This can be a significant efficiency issue, so it deserves an opinion from the certified, professional team at CARJON. Call us!
For many Rhode Island homeowners, major AC problems have crept up so slowly that they are possible to ignore or miss. This is especially true at this time of year when the AC has been running for a few months and has accumulated some wear and tear.
