Your home’s air conditioning system has an important job. Summer can be brutal in the Troy, Michigan region, so you should know the warning signs of an air conditioning system in need of professional servicing. At Birmingham Plumbing, Heating & Air, we want you to know exactly when to call us for AC service in your home.
Airflow Feels Warm
Your AC system should be cooling the air inside your home, not warming it. If the air coming from your AC vents feels warm, this is a sign that you may have a problem with your AC’s compressor unit.
Restricted Airflow
Do you turn your AC on full blast only for it to seem like barely any air is coming out of your vents? You might have a clogged air filter or a blockage in your vents. A professional AC repair service can help you identify the issue and resolve it.
Excessive Cycles
Your AC should only run when it has to. If it seems to run constantly or the cycle seems to operate on a very short interval, this is likely an indication that the system is not as efficient as it should be. It could also be that your home has an insulation problem.
High Humidity Indoors
A properly functioning AC system should manage humidity automatically. If it feels sticky inside your home, you probably need a professional recalibration for your AC system. If recalibration doesn’t fix the issue, you may need an entirely new system.
Leaks
Your air conditioning system involves a network of vents, pipes, and connections that manipulate refrigerant and wastewater. If your system leaks, you could have a problem with your AC’s compressor, condenser, or a physical leak in the pipes. Have this problem addressed as soon as possible to prevent water damage to your home.
If you notice these or any other issues with your home’s AC this summer, contact the team at Birmingham Plumbing, Heating & Air in Troy, MI. We’ll diagnose the issue for you and repair it at a reasonable price.
