Your AC helps improve indoor air quality and keep you cool during hot days. Therefore, monitoring it for signs of damage or wear constantly is essential, then call AC repair Barrington professionals.
Warm air
When you notice warm air blowing from your AC, check your thermostat settings first. Ensure it is on cooling mode and set the temperatures below indoor temperatures.
If there is still warm air, there could be an issue with the compressor or a refrigerant leak.
Unusual sounds
It’s normal for the AC to produce low-level noises as they start or turn off. However, sudden and loud buzzing, rattling, grating, squealing, and banging sounds might indicate more serious issues with different AC components.
Unusual smells
Smoke or gunpowder smells usually indicate an issue with the electrical connections in the AC. You might also smell stale air, which indicates mold, mildew, or fungus growing in the AC, putting your family’s health at risk. Other unusual smells to look out for include rotten eggs, exhaust fumes, or skunk.
High humidity levels
In addition to blowing cool air into the home, your AC should reduce the humidity levels. However, you might experience high humidity if you have not set the thermostat fan on or if the evaporator coils are dirty.
Water leaks
The water around your AC system could indicate a minor issue, like a blocked drain tube that takes the condensation water from the unit. It might also indicate a more severe issue, like a refrigerant leak.
Insufficient airflow
This mainly indicates a blockage keeping air from moving through the AC ductwork. It could also indicate a broken motor or clogged air filter.
