How to Tell if Your AC is in Need of Emergency Repair

October 13, 2017

Your air conditioner is crucial to keeping you comfortable during the warmer Chelan and Wenatchee days. If the equipment breaks down, it can really compromise your comfort! So, how can you know when you might need an AC repair? Sometimes your air conditioner will exhibit symptoms that it needs care before it breaks down completely. Check for any of the following symptoms and give Lakeside Heating & Air a call if you feel your AC is on the fritz.

If you see a lack of cooled air or decreased airflow, this is a definite sign that something isn’t right. Give the team at Lakeside Heating & Air a call if your house doesn’t seem to cool down or if it won’t keep cool. When your air conditioner can’t keep up with your cool-air needs any longer, there’s likely a problem. Whether it’s running low on Freon, having problems with its condenser, or there’s an issue with your ductwork, we are here to help.

Overall, if your air conditioner becomes noisy, there’s probably a problem that warrants AC repair. If you hear squealing or grinding sounds, call us. You shouldn’t hear loud sounds from a properly operating AC outside of the sound of your fan turning on or shutting off. AC problems that generate abnormal sounds signify a potential breakdown.

If you notice a leak coming from your AC, call us for an AC repair immediately. A condensation leak poses less of a health risk, but it’s wise to get it repaired before there is a bigger problem, like mold growth.

Bad or unfamiliar odors coming from your registers are a sign that your system needs to be checked out.

If you feel you’re in need of an AC repair from any of these indicators, give Lakeside Heating & Air a call at 509-284-4265 and our team can help you. If your AC is running as it should, but it’s overdue for a routine maintenance visit, we encourage you to call to set one up. It could save you from costly, larger repairs down the line. We look forward to working with you.
