Signs Your Air Conditioning Unit is in Need of Professional Repair

A suffering A/C unit can display many different signs that it is in need of repair. Some of the most common signs your air conditioning unit is in need of professional repair services from Airenteed Heating and Cooling may include:

Airflow: If your home is taking forever to cool down, the airflow from your A/C Unit is not working properly. This could be due to a multitude of things such as a clogged air filter, a broken motor, or potentially something worse.

Warm Air: Obviously your A/C Unit should be cooling down your home, not warming it up! If your unit is blowing hot air, this is indicative of a possible compressor issue. If you notice your air conditioner blowing warm air, call Airenteed Heating and Cooling right away to address the issue.

Air Cycles: Most A/C systems have pretty consistent cycles in which they run. If you notice a drastic change in how often your A/C cycles, whether it is more or less than normal, you should call Airenteed Heating and Cooling to schedule a repair.

Humidity: High humidity in your Tampa Bay home is usually a clear sign that your air conditioning unit is not cooling down your house properly, or at all for that matter.

Foul Smells: If you notice foul smells emanating from your HVAC system, this is an obvious sign that something is not working correctly with your A/C unit! If you fail to address the issue, the odors will likely continue to get worse. Schedule a professional repair with Airenteed Heating and Cooling ASAP!

Leaking: If your A/C unit is leaking, that means the refrigerant inside your system is leaking, which can be toxic and is an undeniable sign that your air conditioning unit is suffering, and the issue will require Professional Repair Services from Airenteed Heating and Cooling.

Increased Energy Bills: If you notice a random increase in your monthly energy and utility bills, this is often a symptom of an internal issue within your HVAC system. In the event of increased energy bills, your A/C unit is no longer running efficiently which means you will need to call Airenteed Heating and Cooling for repair.

Should I Repair or Replace My Air Conditioning Unit?

When HVAC issues arise, many Tampa Bay homeowners often contemplate whether they should simply repair or replace their entire A/C unit. Fortunately, there are a few universal factors to consider when deciding between repairing or replacing your current air conditioning system.

Age of the Unit: Potentially the biggest factor of all is how old your HVAC system is. Generally speaking, most HVAC systems begin to severely decline around the age of 12-15, depending on how well maintained they have been throughout the years. If your A/C unit has been requiring frequent repairs lately and is quite old, you can assume that your unit is at the end of its lifespan. In either case, call Airenteed Heating and Cooling to have one of our technicians inspect your unit, walk you through your options, answer any questions, and provide you with a price quote for either repair or replacement services. You can trust that our techs at Airenteed Heating and Cooling will only ever recommend what is best for you!

Frequency of Repairs: As previously mentioned, if you are seeking professional repair services from Airenteed Heating and Cooling quite frequently, you may want to inquire about replacement options to see if it makes more financial sense. If your A/C unit is needing frequent repairs, this can actually cost more in the long run, rather than just replacing the unit entirely. You can rely on Airenteed Heating and Cooling for an honest opinion on whether you should repair or replace your air conditioning unit based on the frequency of repairs needed.

Cost of Repairs: If you are indeed needing consistent repairs on your HVAC system, when deciding whether to repair or replace the unit altogether, take into consideration the total cost of the repairs. If the repairs are happening more frequently, and are costing more each time, it is likely that your air A/C unit is nearing the end of its lifespan, and the better financial decision would be to replace the unit as a whole. If you are in need of assistance repairing or replacing your HVAC system, you can always rely on Airenteed Heating and Cooling to help you make the right decision.

R-22 Freon: Lastly, it is important to take into consideration whether your current unit is using R-22 Freon as a refrigerant. R-22 Refrigerant has been recently discontinued in the U.S. including in the Tampa Bay area, so if you are experiencing frequent, costly repairs, and your unit runs on R-22, you will need to replace the unit and install a new one altogether as R-22 is becoming less and less available.

AC INSTALL

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Air Conditioning Unit

List of Most Common Reasons your AC may need replacement:

Age: Possibly the most obvious but important factor in deciding whether or not to replace your A/C unit is its age. Generally speaking, air conditioning units near the end of their useful life around 12-15 years. If your A/C unit is around that age and experiencing issues, it’s probably time to have Airenteed Heating and Cooling replace it!

Odd Noises: If you notice your A/C unit making odd noises such as squealing, grinding, scraping, or loud pops/bangs, call Airenteed Heating and Cooling to consult about a replacement.

Foul Smells: When air conditioning units are on their last leg, they can produce foul smells. Additionally, if you smell smoke coming from your unit, call Airenteed Heating and Cooling immediately!

Air Quality: If the air quality permeating your Tampa Bay home is noticeably different, there is a high chance this is from running your failing A/C unit. In this instance, we recommend calling Airenteed Heating and Cooling. Our number one priority is to ensure your Tampa Bay Area home’s air quality is improved and in superior condition for you and your family to benefit from and turning off your unit until you’ve talked to a pro.

Increased Energy Bills: If your energy bills have randomly increased seemingly out of nowhere, this is usually because your A/C unit needs a pro replacement from Airenteed Heating and Cooling. Another benefit of replacing your unit for a newer one is it will likely have significantly better energy efficiency.

Increased Repairs: Have you found yourself needing to repair your A/C unit frequently? If this is the case, it makes more sense to bite the bullet and have Airenteed Heating and Cooling replace the entire unit. If you haven’t already, eventually, the frequency with which you will need repairs will add up quickly and it will make more financial sense to replace your unit.

Poor Airflow: If you find that it is seemingly taking forever to cool down your home, this is probably due to poor airflow. Weak airflow comes with age and is a common indicator that your A/C is nearing the end of its days and you will need a replacement soon!
