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

October 13, 2017

Your air conditioner is crucial to keeping you comfortable throughout the warmer Savage days. If the equipment breaks down, it can really influence your comfort! So, how can you know when you might need an AC repair? Sometimes your air conditioner will show symptoms that it needs to be looked at before it breaks down completely. Watch for any of the following symptoms and give Gopher Heating and Air Conditioning a call if you suspect your AC is on the fritz.

If you see a lack of cooled air or decreased airflow, this is a definite sign that something is wrong. Give the team at Gopher Heating and Air Conditioning a call if your house doesn’t seem to cool down or if it won’t remain cool. When your AC can’t keep up with your cool-air needs any longer, there’s possibly a problem. Whether it’s running low on Freon, having issues with its condenser, or there’s an issue with your ductwork, we can help.

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

If you notice a leak coming from your AC, call us for an AC repair immediately. A condensation leak delivers less of a health risk, but you’ll want to get it repaired before you’re faced with a bigger problem, like mold growth.

Bad or strange odors coming from your registers are a sign that your system requires service.

If you feel you’re in need of an AC repair from any of these indicators, give Gopher Heating and Air Conditioning a call at 952-373-0377 and we can help. If your AC is working as it should, but it’s past due for a routine maintenance visit, we encourage you to call to set one up. It could save you from expensive, larger repairs down the line. We look forward to working with you.
