Even the most reliable AC units can encounter problems. Here are some telltale signs thatyour air conditioner might be compromised, and it's time to call Aire Serv of Southern New Mexico for expert repair:
- Warm Air Blowing from Vents: Is your air conditioner struggling to keep your home or business cool? If cool air isn't circulating effectively, it could indicate a refrigerant leak, clogged air filters, or malfunctioning internal components.
- Unusual Noises: Strange noises like grinding, banging, or screeching from your AC unit are a red flag. These noises can point to loose parts, failing components, or problems with the fan motor or compressor.
- Fluctuating Temperatures: If your home's temperature feels inconsistent, with unexpected hot spots or areas that never seem to cool down, it suggests uneven airflow or malfunctioning thermostats.
- Moisture Leaks Around the Unit: Water pooling around your AC unit is a warning sign. It could indicate clogged condensate drains, damaged drain lines, or a refrigerant leak. Addressing these issues prevents water damage and mold growth.
- Increased Energy Bills: A significant spike in your energy bills might be due to your AC unit working harder than usual to compensate for inefficiencies. It could be caused by clogged filters, failing components, or low refrigerant levels.
- Frequent On/Off Cycling: If your AC unit constantly turns on and off in short cycles, it's not operating efficiently. It could be due to a dirty evaporator coil, malfunctioning thermostat, or refrigerant issues.
At the first sign of trouble, get in touch with Aire Serv of Southern New Mexico. Our prompt and professional AC repair services can diagnose the problem and get your cooling system back on track.
Air Conditioner Repair FAQs
Is an AC tune-up worth it?
In short, yes — tune-ups are worth it. In fact, they're essential to the longevity of your AC! Those annual AC tune-ups can really come in handy. Especially if they're handled by a seasoned professional (before summer). We can handle your AC tune-up without any problem. Just give us a call to book your service!
What does AC tune-up include? Some of the tune-up services may include:
- Checking your air filters (and replacing if needed)
- Checking your thermostat for proper calibration
- Inspecting electrical connections
- Checking your blower motor and blower belt
- Checking refrigerant and coolant levels
Think of an AC tune-up as your annual check-up with your primary care doctor. Just like you have your health checked annually, your AC's "health" should be checked, too. You rely on the air conditioner to keep you comfortable throughout the year. This requires annual maintenance. Want to help avoid the dreaded "my AC doesn't work" in the middle of summer? Annual air conditioner tune-ups are a wise investment! Schedule your Las Cruces AC tune-up today by calling us or requesting your service online.
How often should I change the air filter?
Once every three months (or 90 days) should be good for most ACs. Depending on how much dirt, pet dander, and other contaminants are present, the answer could be more frequent. We recommend checking your filter often and changing it if it seems dirty.
What causes AC units to freeze up?
There are several reasons why your air conditioner may freeze up, including low refrigerant. When your unit loses refrigerant due to wear and tear, low pressure inside the system will result in the system freezing. Other reasons include dirty evaporator coils and defective blower motors.
How often should I have my unit serviced by a professional?
Air conditioning units need scheduled check-ups at least once a year to make sure everything is operating properly.
