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

October 13, 2017

Your air conditioner is key to keeping you comfortable on warmer Manassas days. If your system 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 display symptoms that it needs attention before it breaks down completely. Be on the lookout for any of the following symptoms and give Air-Right Energy Design, Inc. a call if you feel 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 off. Give the professionals at Air-Right Energy Design, Inc. a call if your house doesn’t seem to cool down or if it won’t stay cool. When your AC can’t keep up with your cool-air needs any longer, there’s possibly a problem. Whether it’s running low on Freon, having problems with its condenser, or there’s an issue with your ductwork, we are here to help.

Overall, if your air conditioner becomes noisy, there’s usually a problem that warrants AC repair. If you hear squealing or grinding sounds, contact us. You shouldn’t hear much from a properly functioning 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, contact us for an AC repair right away. A condensation leak carries less of a health risk, but you should get it repaired before you have a bigger problem, like mold growth.

Bad or unusual odors coming from your registers are a sign that your system needs service.

If you suspect you’re in need of an AC repair from any of these indicators, give Air-Right Energy Design, Inc. a call at 703-260-1148 and we can help. If your AC is operating as it should, but it’s behind schedule for a routine maintenance visit, we suggest you call to set one up. It could save you from costly, larger repairs down the line. We look forward to serving you.
