Warning Signs: Is Your AC Unit Failing?

Many people overlook minor air conditioning problems, hoping it won’t get any worse or thinking the problem isn’t too serious because the system is still running. However, it is usually better and more cost-effective to contact a professional HVAC contractor to help. This allows us to find and solve the problem before you ever experience a complete loss of air conditioning.

We recommend requesting air conditioning repair in Spencer if you notice:

• Uneven cooling - If you notice areas of your home that don't seem to cool down, this could be that your air ducts have leaks in them and aren't allowing for the cool air to reach certain areas of your home. Contact us as soon as you notice this and we'll come and inspect your air ducts.
• Loud noises - Loud banging or rattling noises are always an indicator that something may not be functioning properly on your AC unit. It could be anything from a loose belt to a fan motor that is broken. Since loud noises are always a cause for concern, contact us today for expert AC repair in Spencer, Milford, Okoboji, or Spirit Lake.
• Frequent cycling - Your AC unit is going to turn on and off through out the day in order to keep your home at the proper temperature. But, if you notice that your AC unit is turning on and off every 5 minutes or less, this could be your unit "short-cycling" and that's a problem.
• High energy bills - An increase in your energy bill is usually a clear sign that something is wrong with your AC unit. If your AC system is in need of repair it means that it is having to work twice as hard in order to provide the proper amount cool air throughout your household, which would also increase your energy bill.

Often, we are able to restore your air conditioning by replacing the component that is damaged. Our service trucks are stocked with the tools needed to accurately diagnose the problem with most equipment brands. If the system is damaged beyond repair or the repair is very expensive, we may recommend AC replacement.

Common AC Issue: Why Isn't My AC Cooling?

This is the most common air conditioner concern we hear about--Either the AC unit is blowing warm air or no air at all.

There are several reasons why an air conditioner may not be blowing cold air. Some typical reasons include:

• Malfunctioning thermostat
• Dirty filters, coil, or compressor
• Low/leaking refrigerant
• Blocked condensate line
• Incorrect thermostat settings

There are a few things to check to solve the problem, including the last time you changed your filter and the thermostat settings to make sure it's set to a temperature below the ambient temperature (this can be challenging during season changes). If this doesn't resolve the issue, the problem probably requires the assistance of a professional.

Get a Trustworthy Second Opinion on AC Repairs

There are a lot of HVAC scams out there. If it sounds fishy, it’s worth investigating.

One such scam involves refrigerant. If your unit is low on refrigerant, it means an active leak is present and needs to be addressed. Refrigerant should never run low in a closed system, so any indication of shortage is a strong indication that a leak is occurring somewhere and allowing the precious, expensive coolant to escape. However, some AC techs may try to offer you a “refrigerant recharge” as the solution to this problem. Doing this, however, only delays finding the source of the leak and keeps you paying for refrigerant you shouldn’t need in the first place. A reliable technician will always search for the source of the issue before prescribing a quick fix solution that puts off the inevitable cost of repairing the leak.
