Signs Your AC Needs To Be Repaired

Unit Is Blowing Warm Air: The specific job for an air conditioner is to create and distribute cool air throughout the house. If this is not happening it’s a sure sign that the AC unit needs to be looked at by an HVAC expert.
Thermostat Is Not Working: The thermostat is the center of command in an AC unit, communicating to the air conditioner the exact amount of cool air that needs to be generated. If the unit runs for small periods of time and then shuts itself off, or does not turn on at all, it could be an indication that the thermostat needs to be repaired.
Rising Electricity Bills: If your energy bills show a sudden spike even without more usage it could mean that your AC needs to be repaired or replaced. Higher power usage could mean any or all of these things: a broken thermostat switch, an old air conditioning unit or leaks in the HVAC ducts. Whatever may be the case, the AC unit is calling out for repairs.
Strange Odors: If the unit emanates a musty smell when it is switched on, there could be mold forming inside the air conditioner or in the ductwork. If there’s a smell of burning, there could be a burned-out wire inside. Whatever it may be, your unit needs to be examined and repaired accordingly.

This is a difficult question to answer because there are so many factors that go into AC repair. However, we can give you some ballpark figures that can help you get an idea what type of cost you might be facing based on what needs to be fixed:

  • Refrigerant leak detection/repair – $225-$1600
  • Thermostat replacement – $115-$470
  • AC refrigerant charge – $100-$800
  • Condensing unit fan motor – $100-$700
  • Compressor replacement – $1350-2300

If you think something on your air conditioning unit needs to be replaced, have an HVAC expert give you an estimate so you know where you stand.

Whenever your AC unit is running but not doing its job – namely, keeping your house cool – this is a sign something is wrong with your unit. Here are some possible causes:

  • Dirty air filter – If you’ve got a dirty air filter, your unit can’t breathe and won’t be able to get your interior good and cool. Check your filter and replace if necessary.
  • Blocked condenser unit – Dirt and debris from the yard can get into your outdoor unit and block its needed airflow. Carefully clean up your unit and make sure it’s clear of debris and see if that helps. If it doesn’t, you’ll need a technician to inspect the unit for other problems.
  • Frozen evaporator coil – If you see excessive condensation on your inside unit or even frost on your outdoor unit, the evaporator coil may have frozen over. This is one to have an HVAC technician check out.
  • Undersized AC – Did you just buy your home? It’s possible whoever owned it before you installed an air conditioner that doesn’t have the necessary capacity. Call a professional out to evaluate your home and see if you need a more powerful unit.

If your air conditioner’s compressor is starting to fail, you won’t get the comfort you’re paying for – and you might pay more for less, as your system will be working harder for longer. Some things to watch for:

  • Your air is cool, not cold – If your AC is struggling to keep the air at the desired temperature, that’s a telltale sign of compressor issues.
  • Rattling or banging sounds – Your outdoor AC unit will always make some sound, but if it starts to sound like someone is playing drums inside, get it looked at.
  • Tripping circuit breakers – If the circuit for your air conditioning keeps tripping, your compressor might be trying to draw too much power.
  • Visible damage or wear – Too much rust or dings on your outdoor unit? If the outside looks rough, chances are the inside is, too.
