5 Signs Your AC Needs Repair

Signs Your Phoenix, AZ Air Conditioner Needs Attention

Are you in tune with your AC for the Phoenix summer? Here are a few tips for knowing when you need air conditioning repair- or replacement.

No cool air

If your air is coming out not cool enough or not cool at all, this could be a symptom of a myriad of issues, ranging from low Freon, to a bad compressor, to an incorrectly sized unit.

Weak airflow is also an indicator of AC issues, as well as if you’re changing the thermostat with seemingly no changes. This could mean your AC and thermostat aren’t properly linked up. If you feel like your thermostat adjustments just aren’t doing what they should in your house, it might not be synced up right with your AC. This can cause wear and tear on your system over time.
 
Additionally, if your house is having issues with inconsistent temperature or hot rooms, it’s worth having an energy audit done to see where these issues are coming from and how to go about fixing them.
 
Unusual smells or sounds

Your AC unit should be free from any strong, unpleasant smells or sounds. 

Common noises to listen for, and what they could mean:

  • Clicking. This has three potential causes. The first is the normal click that you hear when the AC starts up. The second is a repeated clicking while the unit is running, which could indicate an obstruction. The third is when the AC is not running at all. This is usually due to an electrical issue.
  • Squealing. The belt is worn or misaligned. If you ignore it, the belt may eventually break, leaving you without AC.
  • Banging/Knocking. This applies to your outside unit. There may be an obstruction, and it is best to turn it off before more damage occurs, and call a technician.
  • Screaming. This sounds pretty frightening…a screaming air conditioner. And the cause could be pretty frightening as well. If you are heating a screaming or hissing sound right as your AC turns on, and it is cycling on and off frequently, this could indicate high pressure. This is potentially dangerous, so it is best to call a professional.
  • Bubbling. It could be a mild condensate problem, or it could be a refrigerant leak. Refrigerant is toxic and requires a license to handle, so make sure to leave it to a licensed and qualified professional.
Common smells and what they could mean:

  • Dirty socks. Yes, it’s pretty gross. When the rest of your house is clean, it can be pretty frustrating to have to experience it. Fortunately, it can be fixed by eliminating the mildew or mold in your system and correcting a condensate drainage problem.
  • Rotten eggs. Also unpleasant, this one could be more dangerous. It could indicate a natural gas leak, which is an emergency and requires immediate service. On the other hand, it could be caused by a dead animal, which smells putrid but is harmless as long as you don’t handle it.
  • Sewage and skunk smells can also indicate a gas leak.

Generally, if you smell a strange smell, it is always best to get it checked out instead of risking a hazard or a pricier replacement.

Leaks

Your AC unit is meant to remove the unnecessary moisture in your home, so if you notice your home is particularly humid while the AC is running, this means the AC unit is having issues. Many units will drip water as part of its normal functions, so be aware of what’s normal to see and what’s not. Keep a lookout for ice or pools of liquid around your AC unit.

​Pro Tip: Refrigerant is poisonous, so call a professional immediately if you spot a leak. 

Electric bill suddenly shot up 

If your air conditioning is causing your bill to rise out of nowhere, you might want to start some investigating. The problem could be a leaky ductwork system, an aging AC unit, or even thermostat troubles. A good place to start with this issue is to have an energy audit in order to help find the root of your problems.

Old AC unit

The average unit’s lifespan is somewhere in the 10-15 year range. If you are having frequent issues and are continually finding yourself needing to pay for repairs several times a year, it might be worth it to have it replaced altogether. 


​We know it's a pain to have your AC fixed, but it’s even more of a pain to let a bad unit keep causing preventable issues in your home, especially when those issues can turn out to be expensive or dangerous. It is recommended that you call a professional at the first sign of these issues, don’t ignore them, and don’t try to fix anything yourself! 

Time For a Repair?

If you are experiencing any of the things above or any other telltale signs that you need repairs, call Green ID at (602) 926-1650 to schedule a tuneup or repair of your AC system. ​

I noticed that my energy bill is a lot higher than usual, and the only culprit I can think of is my AC unit. In the article, you mentioned that this could be a number of issues causing the problem including a leaky ductwork system or a bad AC unit. I'll have a professional come perform some tests as soon as possible so we can get to the root of the problem and get my energy bills lowered back to normal.

I never knew that the change in the electrical bill might also mean that the unit should be repaired. Like you said, a leaky ductwork system or the problem with the thermostat can be the issue. I guess I would have to call an expert to check on our unit because my husband noticed the rise in our energy bills this month. We didn't buy any new appliances, so it is really confusing as to why it changed. Thanks!

Thank you for mentioning skunk smells can be a sign of a gas leak. I have been noticing this more and more, but I just thought that there was a skunk in the neighborhood and dismissed it. I will be sure to get his checked out soon. I hope that it hasn't ended up too bad since we've ignored it for little while.

Thanks for suggesting that you probably need AC repair if your electricity bill is rising out of nowhere. When I went to pay our electricity bill this morning, it was much higher than I expected! We haven't changed the temperature in our home at all, so I wasn't sure what the cause could be. I'll definitely follow your advice and get our AC looked at by a professional!

I didn't realize that the banging and knocking that I hear when I turn on the AC is a sign of an obstruction in the outdoor unit. With this information, I'll have to keep the air conditioning off until I can contact a repairman. It would be best to find an HVAC contractor that is nearby and has proper licensing to fix the air conditioning unit, so I will start looking into professionals that fit those qualifications.

Even though I'm not using my ac anymore during the winter, I will have to get it looked at come the spring as I was having some small problems. As you listed here, I was getting not a whole lot of cold air as I had to set it lower than normal in order to get the same effect. I would take a look at it myself, but I think it would be best to have someone come out and look at it for me.

My electricity bills have been very high lately, so I think my air conditioning might need to be repaired.

I appreciate you for mentioning that mold and mildew can be the cause of air conditioning units smelling like dirty socks. I was about to scold my son for leaving dirty laundry in the living room until I noticed that there weren't any clothes lying on the floor at all. This made me think of other sources of the smell, and now that I know that an AC unit can do this if it's moldy, I'll definitely get an HVAC contractor to help me get it fixed.

Thanks for informing me that if I hear a bubbling sound from my air conditioning unit, it could be caused by a mild condensate problem or a refrigerant leak. If it's a refrigerant leak, I should call an ac repair service as soon as possible because refrigerant is toxic and harmful for my health. My boyfriend and I have been hearing a strange sound from our AC unit for about a week now, so I'll contact an AC repair service now to check it out.

I found it interesting when you mentioned that an increase in your energy bills might be a sign that your AC unit is not working well. Since the appliance actually consumes a lot of energy, it makes sense to check it once you have realized the bills have spiked up despite using your electrical appliances in the same way. I will keep in mind to check and repair my AC unit if my bills suddenly increase.

Most of the time, we know when the air conditioning unit stops cooling properly. There are we just kind of situations that might arise – for example, your AC unit could be working, but there is no cool air coming out of it, or it’s typing exceptionally long to cool the room.

I had no idea that the smell of dirty socks can be removed by getting rid of any mold that has started to accumulate in your air conditioner. When my wife and I returned home from our vacation last weekend, we noticed that our air conditioner started producing a musty odor, and we're worried that a recent rainstorm caused mold to grow near the condenser coils. Maybe we should rely on an expert who can help us repair our unit.
