Supposedly summer is just around the corner, but here in Orange County, we\u2019re still waiting for the weather to warm up. It might seem like \u201cJuneuary\u201d is going to last forever, but soon enough you\u2019ll be relying on your air conditioner to keep your home not just comfortable, but habitable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s always a good reminder to be aware of the signs that you need air conditioner repair<\/a>. Getting repairs taken care of as soon as you notice them is crucial to keeping that minor issue from becoming a major headache. The last thing you want interrupting your enjoyment of summer when the warm weather arrives is having to deal with a broken-down AC<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are five signs you need to call for AC repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. What Frozen Coils Mean for Your AC System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you ever see ice on the evaporator coils, that\u2019s not good. You\u2019ll also notice that your AC isn\u2019t doing a good job of keeping your home cool. That\u2019s because the evaporator coils are essential to its performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frozen evaporator coils can be caused by insufficient airflow as a result of a clogged and dirty air filter, backed-up drain clogs, or having too many vents closed off. Change the air filter and open all the vents to see if that remedies the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another possibility is low refrigerant levels caused by a leak somewhere in the system. Refrigerant is something you don\u2019t want to breathe in your home. Leaking water from the AC<\/a> or icy buildup may signal this type of malfunction. Contact us ASAP so we can pinpoint the source of the leak and get your AC working properly again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Why Your AC Keeps Turning On and Off<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This happens when your AC is unable to complete a cooling cycle. It\u2019s noticeable by the fact that it seems like your AC is always turning itself on but your home isn\u2019t cooling down. Short cycling is tremendously hard on your system because it\u2019s overworking itself, trying to achieve the set temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Diagnosing Strange AC Noises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Other than the sound of it turning off and on the flow of air from the vents, your AC should otherwise be fairly silent. Any loud and unusual noises should be attended to promptly. These can include banging, hissing, grating, shrieking, bubbling, and gurgling. The problem could be something as simple as a loose part or a more serious issue such as a refrigerant leak. For a deeper breakdown of what these noises may mean, listen for these AC sounds<\/a> and what they signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Signs Your AC Isn\u2019t Controlling Humidity\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Does your home feel stuffier than usual? Air conditioners work by removing heat from the air in your home. As a result, your home naturally feels less humid. If you notice the humidity level has increased, there could be something impeding your AC\u2019s functionality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. What It Means When Your AC Blows Warm Air<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Check this by holding your hand up to a vent in your home. The air that comes from your home\u2019s vents should feel cold. If it doesn\u2019t feel cool, that\u2019s a problem. You\u2019re probably also noticing that it\u2019s taking forever to cool your home down, or the thermostat temp isn\u2019t budging. Call us promptly to diagnose the issue and fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
