Why does my air conditioner make strange noises when it kicks on?

Strange noises from your air conditioner when it kicks on can be attributed to various factors, including loose parts, an issue with the compressor, or ductwork that's too small for the airflow. Such sounds could indicate the need for maintenance or repairs to prevent further damage and ensure the system operates efficiently. It's advisable to consult a professional for a thorough inspection and diagnosis to address the specific cause of the noise.

Should I repair or replace my AC?

Deciding whether to repair or replace your AC depends on its age, the cost of repairs, and its current efficiency. If your AC is over 15 years old or repair costs are high (a common guideline is if the cost multiplied by the age is over $5,000), replacement might be more economical. Additionally, newer models are more energy-efficient, which could save on future energy costs. Always consider these issues and consult with a professional to assess the best option for your specific situation.

What should I do if my air conditioner is blowing warm air?

If your air conditioner is blowing warm air, first check that the thermostat is set to "cool" and the temperature is set lower than the current room temperature. Ensure the air filter is clean, as a dirty filter can restrict airflow. Check the circuit breaker to make sure it hasn’t tripped. Inspect the outdoor unit to ensure it’s free from debris. If these steps don't help, there may be a refrigerant leak or other mechanical issue, requiring a professional HVAC technician.

How often do AC filters need to be changed or cleaned?

AC filters should be changed or cleaned every 1 to 3 months, depending on the type of filter and environmental factors. In homes with pets, allergies, or high dust levels, monthly changes are recommended. High-efficiency filters may last up to 6 months, but regular inspection is crucial. Dirty filters reduce efficiency, increase energy costs, and strain the system, leading to potential breakdowns. Regular maintenance ensures optimal air quality, system performance, and longevity of your AC unit.

While the obvious sign of your AC failing is that your AC won’t blow cool air, there are other signs that can indicate your need for repair.

Low Airflow: Warm air coming from your vents is a great sign you need a repair, but air that feels like it’s blowing slowly from your vents is another great sign you could use a Cool Air technician.
Frequent Cycling: If you hear your AC kicking on more frequently than it normally does, this is a good sign that your machine could use a once over by a Cool Air technician. Call (888) 659-2665 today.
Unpleasant Noises: Most AC units start to emit a low rumble or growling sounds when they are on their way out. Save yourself an emergency repair and call us as soon as you start to hear unusual noises.
Higher-Than-Normal Humidity: Your AC helps remove unwanted moisture from your home. If you notice things drying less slowly or maybe your couch feels a little damp when you sit on it, call Cool Air Solutions and let us resolve your humidity issue today.
Bad Smells: This can be a sign of numerous problems including microbial growth inside your system. Call (888) 659-2665 before the smell gets worse and we can not only solve your air conditioning problem, but help you improve your indoor air quality as well.
