If you observe any of the following issues, it’s a clear sign that you should contact Robinson Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. for AC repair service:

Weak Airflow

Is the air coming from your vents feeble at best? This not only causes discomfort but also forces your system to work harder to reach the desired temperature, leading to increased energy costs and accelerated wear and tear. Weak airflow is often caused by a clogged air filter, a faulty motor, refrigerant leaks, or duct leaks. While you can replace the air filter yourself, it’s best to have a qualified HVAC technician address the other three issues.

Rising Energy Bills

While energy bills tend to rise during hot summer days, a significant increase without a corresponding heatwave is often a sign of AC issues. Clogged or dirty air filters, refrigerant or duct leaks, or simply an aging and inefficient system can cause higher energy consumption.

Comfort Problems

Does your home lack comfort? Air conditioners in need of repair or replacement often struggle to maintain balanced humidity levels and may result in hot and cold spots throughout your home.

Short Cycling

Short cycling occurs when your air conditioner frequently turns on and off without properly cooling your home. This not only leads to discomfort but can also cause damage to your unit. Faulty thermostats, improper refrigerant levels, or a malfunctioning compressor are common causes of short cycling.

Unusual Noises

Any unusual noises such as banging, rattling, or grinding should be taken seriously. Contact us to have a trusted HVAC technician promptly inspect your unit. These sounds can indicate a failing motor, a worn-out belt, or loose or broken components.

Unpleasant Odors

Any unusual odors should be investigated without delay. A burning smell could indicate an electrical failure, while a mildew smell may suggest mold or mildew growth inside the unit or ductwork, often caused by water leaks.

Water Leaks

If you notice water leaks inside your Franklin, OH home near the air handler of your HVAC system, it’s likely due to a clogged condensate drain line. The condensate drain line is responsible for channeling excess moisture out of your home when the evaporator coil removes it from the air. When the drain line becomes clogged, water leakage can occur, potentially causing damage to your home and AC system.

To minimize the likelihood of unexpected repair issues arising in the middle of summer, regular maintenance for your air conditioner is crucial. Scheduling a tune-up each spring ensures proper operation and prepares your system for the upcoming summer season.
