As summer winds down and you feel the subtle hints of brisk autumn air in Tampa Bay, it may be tempting to simply switch off your AC and forget about it until next year. Is that the wisest move?
Could your trusty air conditioner be on the brink of a meltdown, ready to leave you stranded in the heat when the next summer rolls around? What if your system throws a tantrum during the cooler months because it’s not been properly cared for? Yikes!
See how to prevent heating and cooling emergencies with tips from our team at ACHV!
Signs of an AC on the Brink
Telltale signs your AC might not make it through autumn include:
#1. Funky smells: If you are smelling odors that could ruin a fall dinner party, it’s time for a check-up! Musty smells can indicate mold build-up, while burnt or smoky scents might mean potential electrical problems.
#2. Peculiar sounds: Your AC shouldn’t sound like a haunted house soundtrack. Strange noises may be a cry for help, signaling that parts might be loose, or the motor might be in trouble.
#3. Poor airflow: If you’re practically hugging your vents just to feel a breeze, you’ve got a problem on your hands. This issue can be as simple as a clogged air filter or as complicated as a failing motor.
If you see any of these problems brewing in your home, they shouldn’t be ignored. Contact our techs for service ASAP!
