You depend on your air conditioner to keep you cool on the warm Des Moines summer days. When the time comes for an AC repair, your air conditioner will give you a few signs to let you know you need to reach out to Heartland Heating & Cooling to keep your summer days cool.
One of the most clear signs you are in need of an AC repair is a lack of cooled air and/or poor airflow. If your space isn’t staying cool, give us a ring. Unfortunately, when your air conditioner doesn’t keep up with your cooling needs, it’s usually a more serious problem. Your AC unit may have condenser problems or it may be running low on Freon. Low airflow could also be a symptom of a ductwork issue. Whatever the difficulty is, you can be sure our experts will be there to guide you to your best choices, whether it’s an AC repair or investment in a new air conditioner.
Leaks from your air conditioner are almost always a sign that an AC repair is in order. If you see a leak from your AC, call for a repair right away. If you have a refrigerant leak, it could produce health problems for your family. If it’s a leak due to condensation, the health risk lessens, but you will still want to take care of it before it turns into a bigger problem like mold growth.
It’s a rule of thumb that if any part of your HVAC system starts to make unique sounds, it’s probably a sign of trouble. When it comes to your AC, these categories of troubling sounds include squealing or grinding. Ultimately, your air conditioner should work relatively quietly and you shouldn’t be able to hear more than the sound of your fan kick on or shut off. Sounds from your AC could indicate the need for a fix as simple as needing lubricant in some of the moving parts to something more serious that could end with a breakdown. Your best chances are to give us a call to help nip the problem in the bud.
If you smell any odor coming from your vents, it could point to some AC-related challenges, too. You should always have a professional help you get to the root of any odors related to your HVAC system, as they could range from mold growth to difficult electrical issues.
Sometimes it may appear your air conditioner is having problems, but it’s really your thermostat than requires attention. If your home temperature isn’t where you’re programming it to be, the pros at Heartland Heating & Cooling will be able to confirm if the problem is actually with your thermostat. It may just be a wiring problem or a blocked sensor, or it may be time to upgrade your thermostat.
