During the hot summer months, you rely on your air conditioner to keep your home happy and healthy. One of the worst things that can happen during the dog days of summer is for your air conditioner to break down, leaving you with large repair or replacement costs. A great way to ensure that your air conditioner continues to run smoothly is to quickly repair any issues with your AC the moment you recognize them. Just look out for these easily identifiable signs that it’s time to call for AC repair.

Uneven Cooling
If you’ve noticed that your air conditioner isn’t working as effectively as it once did, perhaps your home has some warm spots where there weren’t before, or the air coming from the conditioner isn’t as powerful, it’s most likely time to call for AC repair. Uneven cooling is one of the most common signs that it’s time for AC repair.

Strange Sounds
When you first have your air conditioner installed, it’s important to gain an understanding of what sounds it makes so you know when an odd or unusual sound begins. Air conditioners should usually only make a humming sound, as well as the sound of air being distributed by fans. If you begin to hear a clicking, squealing, or screeching noise, it’s most likely a sign that you need AC repair.

Odd Smells
If you begin to smell odd and unpleasant odours coming from your air conditioner or coming from your vents when your air conditioner is turned on, you should call for repair immediately. Bad odours are one of the most common signs that you need AC repair, as they could indicate bacteria or mould growth, or even an issue with your air conditioner’s electrical wiring.

Warm Air
One of the most common signs of needing AC repair is the presence of warm air throughout your home. If your air conditioner is blowing out warm air, it could be a sign that your AC is leaking refrigerant or it has a faulty compressor. Either way, when your air conditioner is blowing cold air, you’re paying for the energy but you’re left with a hot house, so make sure to call for AC repair immediately.
