When the summer heat is at its peak, your air conditioner works overtime to keep your home comfortable. But if your AC starts showing signs of trouble, ignoring them can lead to bigger problems – and higher repair costs – later on. Knowing the warning signals can help you take action quickly.
One of the most obvious signs is weak or uneven airflow. If certain rooms feel cooler than others, there may be issues with your ducts, blower motor, or filters. Another red flag is warm air coming from the vents, which can point to low refrigerant levels or a failing compressor.
Strange noises – like grinding, squealing, or rattling – are never normal. These sounds could mean loose parts, worn-out belts, or internal damage that needs immediate attention. Similarly, foul odors coming from your AC may indicate mold growth inside the unit or burnt wiring.
If your AC is short cycling – turning on and off too frequently – it’s likely working inefficiently due to electrical issues, thermostat malfunctions, or airflow problems. Unusually high energy bills are another sign that your system may be overworking to maintain your desired temperature.
