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

October 13, 2017

Your air conditioner is crucial to keeping you comfortable during the warmer Libertyville days. If it breaks down, it can really compromise your comfort! So, how can you determine when you may need an AC repair? Sometimes your air conditioner will show symptoms that it needs care before it breaks down completely. Watch for any of the following symptoms and give TopTec Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical a call if you suspect your AC is on the fritz.

If you observe a lack of cooled air or decreased airflow, this is a definite sign that something is wrong. Give the team at TopTec Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical a call if your house doesn’t seem to cool down or if it won’t stay cool. When your system can’t keep up with your cool-air needs any longer, there’s possibly a problem. Whether it’s running low on Freon, having issues with its condenser, or there’s an issue with your ductwork, we can help.

In general, if your air conditioner becomes noisy, there’s usually a problem that needs AC repair. If you hear squealing or grinding sounds, give us a call. You shouldn’t hear much from a properly operating AC outside of the sound of your fan turning on or shutting off. AC problems that generate abnormal sounds indicate a potential breakdown.

If your AC has a leak, schedule an AC repair right away. A condensation leak carries less of a health risk, but you’ll want to get it repaired before you’re faced with a bigger problem, like mold growth.

Bad or unfamiliar 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 TopTec Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical a call at 847-362-0262 and our team can help you. If your AC is working as it should, but it’s overdue for a routine maintenance visit, we encourage you to call to set one up. It could save you from costly, larger repairs down the line. We look forward to working with you.
