Signs Your Air Conditioner Needs Maintenance

Lack of AC maintenance can lead to malfunctions and inefficiencies in your air conditioning system. If your AC has been acting funny, it’s probably because a routine tune-up is overdue.

Keep an eye out for these warning signs and have your AC serviced as soon as you notice any of them.

1. The thermostat setting does not reflect the temperature of the room.

   A miscalibrated thermostat will give false readings and shut off too soon, leaving you with an uncomfortably warm room. During an AC tune-up experts will recalibrate your thermostat if it’s not accurate. If you’re still using a manual version, you may also opt to upgrade to a programmable or smart thermostat.

2. Your air conditioner keeps turning on and off.

   An air conditioner that turns on and off every less than five minutes is most likely short-cycling. If you’re lucky, the issue is only with the thermostat and can be solved with a few simple thermostat adjustments.

3. Your AC blows warm air or has weak airflow.

   This is another problem that’s likely due to a bad thermostat. A thermostat that gives inaccurate readings can activate your air conditioner’s heating mode and cause it to blow warm air. Another possible culprit is filthy AC filters, which impede airflow, making you feel as if your AC is blowing out warm air.

4. You sneeze or cough more often indoors.

   If you don’t change your AC’s air filters often, the dust and other air contaminants that have accumulated can get airborne again and recirculate around your home. As a result, you or your family members may suffer from the effects of poor indoor air quality and indoor air pollution, which include sniffles, coughs, sneezing, and allergies.

5. You detect foul odors when the AC is turned on.

   Because of moisture, your air conditioner can serve as a breeding ground for molds and germs, which can give off foul smells. It is also possible for insects and tiny rodents to find their way into your air conditioner. If they die inside the vents or AC unit, their decaying bodies tend to produce a nasty, putrid stench that can travel all over your home as soon as you turn the AC on. Yikes!

Benefits of Routine HVAC Maintenance

Scheduling routine maintenance is similar to going in for a car tune-up or oil change. Without preventive maintenance, HVAC is at risk of deterioration and frequent breakdowns.

There are countless benefits to a well-maintained air conditioning system, beyond just having a reliable and fully functional AC unit. Regular AC maintenance also offers the following benefits:

1. Uphold AC maintenance warranty

   Several air conditioner manufacturers offer service warranties on their systems. Regular maintenance may be necessary to keep these warranties intact.

2. Improved energy efficiency

   Maintenance helps make sure that your system is running as efficiently as possible, which saves energy and lowers your monthly utility costs.

3. Preserve the operational life span

   Cooling systems that do not receive regular maintenance are at a much higher risk of damage and premature replacement.

4. You sneeze or cough more often indoors.

   If you don’t change your AC’s air filters often, the dust and other air contaminants that have accumulated can get airborne again and recirculate around your home. As a result, you or your family members may suffer from the effects of poor indoor air quality and indoor air pollution, which include sniffles, coughs, sneezing, and allergies.

5. Prevent repairs

   With regular maintenance, you are less likely to need air conditioner services. This saves you money by preventing the need for more extensive or complicated repairs.

We recommend getting your air conditioner tuned up every spring, before summer kicks in, and scheduling your heater maintenance in the Fall. The best time to service your heating or cooling equipment is before the season when you will be using it the most.

Our HVAC experts can find and address any possible issues to prevent malfunctions and ensure peak performance when you need your HVAC system the most.
