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

October 13, 2017

Your air conditioner is vital to keeping you comfortable throughout the warmer Des Moines days. If your system breaks down, it can really influence your comfort! So, how do you recognize 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 Kohles & Bach Heating & Cooling a call if you feel 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 off. Give the experts at Kohles & Bach Heating & Cooling a call if your house doesn’t seem to cool down or if it won’t keep 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, we are here to help.

Typically, if your air conditioner becomes noisy, there’s likely a problem that needs AC repair. If you hear squealing or grinding sounds, give us a call. 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 your AC has a leak, schedule an AC repair right away. 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 indicate your system requires service.

If you feel you’re in need of an AC repair from any of these indicators, give Kohles & Bach Heating & Cooling a call at 515-207-6569 and we’ll be there to help. If your AC is working as it should, but it’s past due for a routine maintenance visit, we suggest you call to set one up. It could save you from costly, larger repairs down the line. We look forward to helping you.
