9 Signs Your Air Conditioning System Needs Repair
If you’re a homeowner in Chicago or in the Chicagoland suburbs, you likely turned on your air conditioner weeks ago to keep your home cool. As we move further into the summer, it will only get hotter, meaning you’ll want your AC running in prime condition.
Unfortunately, it’s possible to be in need of air conditioner repair services without even realizing it, because a broken AC isn’t always one that just won’t run. Be on the lookout for these nine warning signs, and stay in control of the comfort and safety of your home.
1. Your energy bills have gone up significantly.
2. Your unit makes way too much noise.
3. You have uneven cooling throughout your home.
4. Your AC is leaking.
5. You have low airflow.
6. Your home is unusually humid.
7. Your home won’t get cool.
8. Your AC coil is frozen.
A frozen coil can occur because of something simple, such as dirty air filters, or because of something more complicated, like a refrigerant leak.
9. Your AC has a mind of its own.
If your unit randomly kicks off for a few seconds only to come right back on, there’s an issue with your cooling system. An expert HVAC technician can find the source of the problem.
10. Your Thermostat is dead.
- Power Surges: When an air conditioner’s compressor or motor struggles to start due to mechanical problems, it can create electrical surges that travel through the system’s wiring and potentially damage the delicate electronic components in a digital thermostat.
- Short Circuits: Faulty wiring in your AC system can cause short circuits that might send excessive voltage to the thermostat, overwhelming its circuits and causing it to fail completely.
- Excessive Current Draw: A failing AC component (like a worn compressor or fan motor) can draw abnormally high current, which may overload the control circuit that includes your thermostat.
- Condensation Issues: Air conditioner problems can sometimes lead to increased humidity or condensation around the thermostat area, especially if there are refrigerant leaks or drainage issues. This moisture can damage the internal components of the thermostat.
- Continuous Cycling: When an AC system has problems like refrigerant leaks or a failing compressor, it may cause the system to cycle on and off frequently. This constant cycling puts additional strain on the thermostat’s switching mechanisms, potentially wearing them out prematurely.
