Signs Your Air Conditioning System May Need Repair

Recognizing the early warning signs of AC problems can save you from major repairs down the road. Look for indicators that it's time to schedule AC repair for your Charlotte home.

Performance Issues

Is your AC struggling to keep up with the summer heat? Some indications include uneven cooling throughout your home, with some rooms feeling warmer or stickier than others. If your AC runs all day without downtime, or if it's taking longer to cool your home than it used to, it could mean something is wrong.

Strange Noises or Odors

Your system should run pretty quietly, so any grinding, squealing, banging, or rattling sounds usually mean mechanical problems. Similarly, unusual odors coming from your vents that may seem musty, burning, or chemical-like can mean everything from mold growth to electrical issues or refrigerant leaks.

Not Blowing Cold Air or Frequent Cycling

An AC system that turns on and off too frequently (short cycling) or one that has airflow problems both indicate underlying problems. If your AC is running but not cooling or blowing cold air, there could be problems with the filter, thermostat, and fan. There may also be bigger issues, like leaks, electrical issues, or condenser problems. While you may tackle some of these problems on your own, a professional diagnosis and repair can target and fix the source of the issue.

Rising Energy Bills

If your electricity costs have suddenly spiked without changes to your usage habits, your AC system is probably working harder than it needs to. This inefficiency usually happens because of dirty coils, low refrigerant levels, or old components that force your system to consume more energy, yet deliver less cooling power.

Age and System History

Even with regular maintenance, most AC systems have a lifespan of around 10 years. If yours is past or approaching this point, it might be time for a replacement. Today's systems are made with significantly better energy efficiency and reliability than older models.

Home Changes

Adding square footage, finishing basements, or any other renovations can impact your AC system's ability to cool effectively. This could mean you need to install a new, more powerful unit. Even changing the layout of your existing rooms could impact the effectiveness of your system, so it's best to consult with HVAC experts if you make any changes.

When to Call an AC Professional

It's common to wonder when to attempt DIY air conditioning repair or call one of Charlotte's professional technicians. While you can safely change air filters and check your thermostat settings, most AC repairs require expert knowledge and tools.

It's always a good idea to consult a professional HVAC technician for a more accurate assessment of your specific situation. They can provide you with a detailed evaluation and help you determine whether it's worth it to repair or replace your AC unit.

Is It an Emergency?

A broken AC unit is considered an emergency when it poses health risks or creates unsafe living conditions. You need emergency AC repair if you experience situations like a complete system failure during a heat wave, electrical problems that could create fire hazards, or refrigerant leaks that could harm air quality. If you notice burning smells, electrical sparks, major leaks, or a complete lack of cool air, call a professional.

When you're unsure whether it's an HVAC emergency or you don't know who to call, Brothers' 24-hour emergency AC repair technicians are standing by to respond quickly to get your home back to comfort.
