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.
While utility bills normally fluctuate a few dollars each month, a significant increase in your energy bill means your AC unit isn’t running efficiently.
2. Your unit makes way too much noise.
Whether you’re hearing a banging, screeching, clinking, or something else, it isn’t normal. Loud noises can mean loose parts, which can cause significant damage if left alone.
3. You have uneven cooling throughout your home.
If you walk around your home, do you find spots that seem warm and other areas that feel extremely cold? The uneven temperature could be an issue with insulation, or it could mean there’s a problem that needs air conditioner repair.
4. Your AC is leaking.
An air conditioner leaking water should be fixed immediately, as the water can lead to issues with mold or mildew. If you have water leaking inside your home, your AC condensate could be faulty.
5. You have low airflow.
If you can feel the cool air when your hand is near the vent, but you can tell that it isn’t blowing hard enough, you may have an issue with your motor or fan.
6. Your home is unusually humid.
Yes, indoor humidity can increase in the summer months. But, a constant sticky feeling could be caused by leaky ductwork or an issue with your AC.
7. Your home won’t get cool.
If air is coming out, but it isn’t cool, you could have an issue with your AC refrigerant.
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.
