In our experience here at SOS Refrigeration & HVAC LLC, many people wait too long to call for air conditioning repair services, only doing so after their system has broken down. We want to help you keep your system in good working order, so we have put together this article to go over a few ways to tell if you need repairs before your system malfunctions completely. Our team has extensive experience in the industry, and we can provide the effective repairs you need. Keep reading to get a better idea of when you should give us a call.
• Listen to Your System – One way to tell if you need air conditioning repair services is to pay attention to the sounds your system makes as it runs. It’s normal for your system to make a low hum when it’s on, but if you start to hear any grinding, screeching, or other loud, unusual sounds, then something is wrong.
• Pay Attention to Indoor Humidity – In addition to keeping your building cool, your air conditioning also removes excess humidity from the indoor air. If you want to be able to determine if you need air conditioning repair services before your system breaks down altogether, pay attention to the humidity inside your building—if the air starts to feel damp or muggy, then your system isn’t working properly and needs professional attention.
• Feel the Airflow – A third way to tell if you need air conditioning repair services is to check the airflow from your vents. When you put your hand by an air vent, you should feel a noticeable, steady stream of air, and that air should be cool and dry. If the airflow instead feels weak or is noticeably warm, give us a call right away to have us check out the problem.
