Common Signs You Need AC Repair

It is rare for an air conditioner to stop working completely before showing warning signs.

A few signs that your AC may be experiencing issues include:

• The unit won't stay on - If your unit is turning on and off very fast, it either means your AC is too big for your home or your compressor is on the fritz.
• The unit turns on but the fan doesn't start - You can tell that your blower fan isn't working if you hear your AC is on but you're not getting any air coming out of your air vents in which case you should call in our Greenville AC repair experts.
• No matter what the thermostat is set to, your space won't cool - If you're not getting cooling it could be because of an air filter that needs changing or an evaporator coil that is too dirty.
• You hear weird noises coming from the AC - If you hear a loud grinding or rumbling sound, it's important to act quickly in these situations as these problems can worsen as time goes on damaging other parts in your AC.
• Smells that are off - Because of how much condensation goes on when your AC is cooling air there could be mold or mildew growth in your unit or your ductwork. If you smell something burning then you'll need AC repair.

Should You Replace or Go For AC Repair?

When your air conditioner is consistently experiencing problems, you may not be sure whether to repair or replace. Replacing an AC is a big investment that you should consider carefully. Our professional cooling technicians in Greenville can examine your equipment to determine if a repair will be sufficient or if a replacement is necessary. Consider replacement over AC repair in the following instances.

1. Your utility bill keeps going up - As AC units age, they'll get less efficient over time. What this means is they'll need more electricity to properly cool. While maintenance and tune ups can lessen this inefficiency, father time beats every unit and you shouldn't sink money into AC repair if it's also costing you more money each month.

2. Your AC is old - On average an AC units lasts from 8-12 years depending on use, environment and maintenance levels. If your unit is older and working great that's fine, but if it's breaking down there's only so much our Greenville AC repair team can do to a dying unit.

3.It requires R22 Freon - Because of the 2020 Freon Ban, AC units that require the banned coolant will get more and more expensive to run as the coolant becomes increasingly scarce. Don't sink more money into AC repair if you also have to pay so much for your coolant.

4. An expensive repair - Our AC repair team will always run estimates by you before working, but you should be careful about an expensive repair on an older unit. If the age of the unit in years multiplied by the cost of the AC repair is more than the cost of a new unit then make the switch.
