Luckily there are a number of easy maintenance tasks you can manage on your own including regular filter changes. However, there are some cases where simple maintenance won\u2019t do the trick. That\u2019s when you need to call the experts.<\/p>\n
So, how do you know when you\u2019re facing an issue you can resolve yourself or if you need to call the experts? Here are some signs to watch for.<\/p>\n
When the airflow from your vents completely stops you know there is a problem immediately. However, when the air is still flowing well but it\u2019s warm or room temperature, it may be longer before you notice an issue.<\/p>\n
One of the most common reasons this may occur is because your air conditioner is leaking refrigerant. This is not something you should attempt yourself as\u00a0refrigerant requires professional disposal and recharging.<\/p>\n
In fact, trying to replace\u00a0refrigerant yourself could result in additional damage and an even more expensive repair call in the future.<\/p>\n
A nasty smell in your home could be the result of a variety of factors. If you notice the smell is coming from your vents then this could indicate an emergency situation affecting your family\u2019s health and safety.<\/p>\n
A strong, pungent odor could indicate burned out electrical wiring in your air conditioner while a musty smell could be a sign of mold in your air conditioner unit or ductwork.<\/p>\n
In either case, you should turn off your air conditioner unit and call for service immediately. Burned out wiring could result in a fire while mold poses health risks<\/a> to you and your family.<\/p>\n Air conditioners are designed by expert engineers to run efficiently and quietly. The gentle hum of an air conditioner on a hot day is all you should hear coming from your A\/C unit.<\/p>\n If you notice grinding or squeaking noises coming from your air conditioner then it may mean a part needs to be replaced or debris has become trapped in an area where it doesn\u2019t belong. Shutting down your air conditioning unit until a professional has a chance to inspect it could help prevent further damage or wear.<\/p>\n A non-working air conditioner can quite literally make you sweat.
