If you notice any of the following issues, it could be your system’s way of telling you to call on Robinson Heating & Air Conditioning for AC repair service:

Weak Airflow

Is the air coming from your vents weak at best? Not only will this create comfort issues, but it will cause your system to run longer to reach the set temperature, increasing your energy costs and leading to accelerated system wear and tear. Weak airflow is often caused by a clogged air filter, faulty motor, refrigerant leak, or air duct leak. Although you can swap out the old filter with a new one, a qualified HVAC technician should handle the other three issues.

Comfort Issues

Is your Lebanon, OH home uncomfortable? Air conditioners that need to be repaired or replaced often struggle to properly balance humidity levels and can produce hot and cold spots around the home.

Increased Energy Bills

Although energy bills can spike during the hot summer days, a significant increase without a corresponding heat wave is often caused by AC issues such as clogged or dirty air filters, refrigerant or duct leaks, or simply an aging and inefficient system.

Short Cycling

Short cycling occurs when your air conditioner shuts on and off too frequently without properly cooling your home, causing comfort issues and potential damage to your unit. A malfunctioning thermostat, improper refrigerant levels, or a faulty compressor can cause short cycling.

Strange Noises

Unusual noises including banging, rattling, or grinding are cause for concern, and you should contact a reputable HVAC company immediately to inspect the unit. These types of noises can indicate a failing motor, a worn-out belt, or a loose or broken component.

Water Leaks

Water leaks inside your Lebanon, OH home near the HVAC system’s air handler likely mean a clogged condensate drain line. When the evaporator coil pulls excess moisture from the air, the condensation is funneled out of your home through the condensate drain line. When it becomes clogged, it can cause water to leak, potentially damaging your home and HVAC system.

Unpleasant Odors

Any out-of-the-ordinary odors should also be inspected immediately. A burning smell could indicate an electrical failure, while a mildew smell could signal mold or mildew growth inside the unit or ductwork, likely caused by a water leak.

To reduce the likelihood of pesky repair issues popping up in the middle of the summer, it’s important to invest in regular AC tune up service for your air conditioner. Having your system tuned up each spring will ensure everything is operating properly, and it’s ready for the summer ahead.
