No cool air 

Homeowners buy air conditioning units to make their home feel comfortable during times of warm temperatures. After some time, you may notice that the air your AC is generating is not as cold as it used to be. This is an indication that the unit needs repairing. 

For example, it could mean your AC’s compressor has failed or the Freon levels are extremely low. If that’s the case, you may have to replace the entire unit, which can be pricey. It is always good to recognize this early and call a professional! 

Poor airflow 

Sometimes, you may observe that some areas in your home are cooler than others. This can also be an indication of a failing compressor or ductwork, which results in little airflow through your AC vents. This is a common sign that your air conditioning isn’t working efficiently or that there is a blockage. 

Debris collects and gets stuck in your vents over time. This can present a health risk for you and your loved ones. For example, poor air quality can lead to flu-like symptoms, asthma, and allergic reactions. ServiceOne is here to make sure your family and home stay safe always!

Leakage 

Moisture or leakage near or around your AC can be a sign of serious underlying problems. Generally, they are due to two major reasons: 

• Refrigerant leaks 

• Blocked or broken drain tubes 

The U.S Environmental Protection Agency warns that refrigerant leakages should be repaired immediately because they can pose serious health risks to you and your family. These leaks need to be acted upon quickly, as they can seriously damage your home.

Strange sounds 

Strange noises, like squealing, grinding or scraping from your AC means something is wrong on the inside. It could indicate the belt has slipped or a metal component needs lubrication. Failure to fix them quickly can result in costly breakdowns. 

Other signs to watch out for include: 

  •  Strange odors 

  • Thermostat problems 

  • High electricity bills 

  • Blowing hot air 

  • High humidity
