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

October 13, 2017

Your air conditioner is vital to keeping you comfortable on warmer McHenry days. If the equipment breaks down, it can really impact your comfort! So, how can you know when you could need an AC repair? Sometimes your air conditioner will show symptoms that it needs attention before it breaks down completely. Be on the lookout for any of the following symptoms and give Jett's Heating & Air Inc. a call if you suspect your AC is on the fritz.

If you observe a lack of cooled air or decreased airflow, this is a definite sign that something is off. Give the professionals at Jett's Heating & Air Inc. a call if your house doesn’t seem to cool down or if it won’t remain cool. When your air conditioner can’t keep up with your cool-air needs any longer, there’s possibly a problem. Whether it’s running low on Freon, having problems with its condenser, or there’s an issue with your ductwork, our professionals can provide support.

Typically, if your air conditioner becomes noisy, there’s usually a problem that needs AC repair. If you hear squealing or grinding sounds, contact us. You shouldn’t hear loud sounds from a properly working AC outside of the sound of your fan turning on or shutting off. AC problems that cause abnormal sounds indicate a potential breakdown.

If you see a leak from your AC, schedule an AC repair right away. A condensation leak carries less of a health risk, but you’ll want to get it repaired before you have a bigger problem, like mold growth.

Bad or unfamiliar odors coming from your registers are indications that your system needs service.

If you feel you’re in need of an AC repair from any of these indicators, give Jett's Heating & Air Inc. a call at 815-410-1128 and our team can help you. If your AC is operating as it should, but it’s behind schedule for a routine maintenance visit, we suggest you call to set one up. It could save you from expensive, larger repairs down the line. We look forward to serving you.
