10 Signs That You Need Air Conditioner Repair

If you live in the Chicagoland area, you know you still have a bit of time left this year where AC is essential. So, if you start to notice some things that seem off, you might be wondering, “Is my air conditioner broken?”

Hopefully, you aren’t yet to the point, but if you notice any of the following signs, it’s time to schedule your Palatine AC repair service.

You Aren’t Picking Up on That AC Breeze

Depending on the placement of your vents, you should notice cool air flowing out throughout the day. If you are noticing a change in force or struggle to pick up on that breeze at all, it’s a sign something is wrong.

That AC Breeze Is a Bit Toasty

Even if your vents are putting out plenty of air, it won’t help unless it is the right temperature. If your AC isn’t properly cooling, it’s a problem.

Something Smells Weird

Listen, this could be anything, from a forgotten snack the toddler stuck behind the couch to a dead mouse in the walls. However, if you notice odd smells coming from your vents, you’ll want a professional to take a look.

You’re Noticing a Lot of Rattling

All air conditioners make some degree of noise. However, if things are rattling around in there or there are other unusual noises, it’s a sign your air conditioner needs to be repaired or replaced.

The Thermostat Is Way Off

If your AC kicking on at the wrong moments or doesn’t kick on because your thermostat insists it is 10 degrees cooler than it actually is? Yep, it’s time to get yours repaired.

This Is Your Fifth AC Repair

If you feel like you are constantly calling for AC repair in Palatine, it may be an indication of a larger issue. For sure, you need a quality repair service, but be prepared to be told it’s time to replace it.

It’s Getting a Little Humid Inside

Humidity is part of life in Chicagoland. But it shouldn’t feel like a jungle in your home. If you’re noticing too much moisture in the air, it might mean your AC isn’t working properly.

There’s Moisture Around Your System

Even if the moisture isn’t in the air, it could still mean something has gone wrong. If you notice any type of leaking around your AC or HVAC system as a whole, call for assistance.

Your Electric Bill Is Killing You

Yes, your electricity costs should jump when you turn your AC on each year, but not by too much. If you suspect your bill is higher than it should be, it might mean your AC is working too hard and needs a tune-up.

Your AC Is Ancient

While it is great to have a system that lasts many years, all AC units have their lifespan. If yours is near the end, it is a good idea to get it checked out, even if there is nothing too obviously wrong with it.

If you do need repair, don’t panic. In many cases, the fixes are affordable. Check out how much it should cost to recharge or refill your refrigerant.
