When the hot temperatures beat down on Lanexa, VA, you’ll appreciate having a cool home to relax in around the clock. If your air conditioner is having trouble, though, your system may struggle to keep your place comfortable. The following signs could indicate that it’s time for a new air conditioner installation:
Lack of Cool Air
An air conditioner past its prime could have difficulty blowing any air. Also, an old AC system might blow warm air instead of cold air during the summer. When you notice these obvious signs, you might need to replace your air conditioner instead of having it repaired.
High Humidity
Humidity can make things seem much more uncomfortable in the summer. While an air conditioner doesn’t dehumidify as well as a dedicated dehumidifier can, it can remove some moisture from the air inside your home. If you find that your home feels very humid even when your AC system is running, you might need a new air conditioner installation.
Unusual Odors
Your air conditioner shouldn’t emit any odors. If you notice a strange smell, you could have a major problem. It could be related to some sort of microbial growth in your ductwork, clogged air filters or faulty wiring that has resulted in melted plastic or rubber. Schedule an AC repair to determine whether we should fix the problem or replace your system altogether.
Loud Noises
While your AC system may make some sound when it’s running, it’s not supposed to make loud noises. Grinding, buzzing and squeaking could signal that you have loose internal components or some sort of problem with your blower. These components could lead to significant damage if you don’t deal with them.
Air conditioners have lifespans like other appliances. Any of the signs described above would warrant a call to a professional team. For assistance with an air conditioner installation in Lanexa, VA, call Kearney & Sons.
