Common Warning Signs of a Failing AC System
Make sure your AC system is well-prepared to maintain a cool home as the desert summer approaches in Henderson. The best way to ensure your AC system is ready to sustain cooling during such intense heat is to be proactive with identifying potential warning signs of a failing system.
If you notice any of the following issues, there’s no need to stress; just call in the team at BEST Air Conditioning Plumbing Repair, and we’ll take care of it for you.
Weak or Limited Airflow
Have you noticed weak or less-than-usual airflow coming from your vents? This could be a sign that your air conditioner unit has a blockage, preventing airflow from moving through the vents.
A common issue among households, weak or limited airflow, is easily mitigated by calling in the professionals. We can help assess the source of the airflow issues and will recommend a solution tailored to your needs, such as an energy-recovery ventilator, zoning system, or simple repairs.
Blowing Warm Instead of Cool Air
Warm air from your vents is never a good sign, unless you’re trying to stay warm during the winter. If you notice warm air, first make sure your thermostat is not set to heat. If not, and warm air still blows, this indicates an airflow or compressor issue with your cooling system.
Short Cycling or Constant Start/Stop
A properly functioning AC system should conduct relatively routine cooling cycles and not shut on/off constantly. If you notice that it is shutting on and off frequently, it’s time to call in the experts at BEST Air Conditioning Plumbing Repair. We can conduct a quick tune-up to resolve frequent cycling or provide a replacement AC unit if needed.
Indoor Air Feels Too Humid
The humid weather should stay outdoors. So, if you notice a high humidity level inside your home, your AC unit could be broken. A working AC will moderate humidity levels, so if humidity is not in a comfortable range, it may need repair.
BEST Air Conditioning Plumbing Repair will assess your unit to determine if you need a recalibration or if you should have a dehumidifier installed.
Pooled Water or Leaking Around the Unit
If you notice pooling water near your AC unit, don’t wait—give our air conditioning experts a call.
This usually means there’s a leak, and it can cause serious damage to your home if left unchecked. A leak often signals a bigger issue with your system, so we’ll thoroughly inspect everything and handle the necessary repairs to prevent costly water damage.
Foul or Musty Smells from Vents
A strange or musty odor coming from your AC isn’t something to ignore. It could mean your system needs a thorough cleaning, maintenance, or possibly a more extensive repair. Our skilled technicians will quickly get to the bottom of it and restore clean, fresh air in your home.
Loud or Strange Sounds During Operation
Hearing odd noises like rattling, buzzing, or grinding? These are signs that something inside your AC isn’t functioning right. While soft humming is normal, anything louder might be a red flag.
Let us take a look—we’ll diagnose the issue and fix it before it turns into a bigger, more expensive problem.
