How to Tell if Your AC is in Need of Emergency Repair

October 13, 2017

Your air conditioner is crucial to keeping you comfortable on warmer Florissant days. If it breaks down, it can really impact your comfort! So, how can you know when you may need an AC repair? Sometimes your air conditioner will show symptoms that it needs care before it breaks down completely. Watch for any of the following symptoms and give B & B Heating & Cooling a call if you suspect your AC is on the fritz.

If you notice a lack of cooled air or decreased airflow, this is a definite sign that something is off. Give the team at B & B Heating & Cooling a call if your house doesn’t seem to cool down or if it won’t stay cool. When your system can’t keep up with your cool-air needs any longer, there’s probably a problem. Whether it’s running low on Freon, having issues with its condenser, or there’s an issue with your ductwork, our professionals can provide support.

Overall, if your air conditioner becomes noisy, there’s likely a problem that needs AC repair. If you hear squealing or grinding sounds, contact us. You shouldn’t hear loud sounds from a properly working AC outside of the sound of your fan turning on or shutting off. AC problems that create abnormal sounds indicate a potential breakdown.

If you see a leak from your AC, schedule an AC repair right away. A condensation leak delivers less of a health risk, but it’s wise to get it repaired before you have a bigger problem, like mold growth.

Bad or unfamiliar odors coming from your registers are a sign that your system needs to be checked out.

If you feel you’re in need of an AC repair from any of these indicators, give B & B Heating & Cooling a call at 314-325-7552 and our team can help you. If your AC is running as it should, but it’s past due for a routine maintenance visit, we suggest you call to set one up. It could save you from costly, larger repairs down the line. We look forward to working with you.
