Is Your AC Crying for Help?
As the summer heat approaches, it’s crucial to ensure your air conditioning system is in top shape. Berwyn Western, serving Berwyn, Downers Grove, Elmhurst, Oak Park, and Naperville, IL, wants to help you recognize when your AC might need some expert care. Here are five telltale signs that your air conditioner requires professional attention:
1. Unusual Noises
If your AC unit starts making strange sounds like grinding, squealing, or banging, it’s time to call in the pros. These noises often indicate loose or damaged parts that need immediate attention.
2. Weak Airflow
When you notice reduced airflow from your vents, it could be a sign of:
- Clogged air filters
- Blocked ductwork
- Failing compressor
3. Warm Air
If your AC is blowing warm air instead of cool, it might be due to:
- Low refrigerant levels
- Compressor issues
- Thermostat malfunction
4. Frequent Cycling
An air conditioner that turns on and off more frequently than usual could be struggling with:
- Improper sizing
- Thermostat problems
- Clogged filters
5. Unpleasant Odors
Musty or burning smells coming from your AC unit are never a good sign. They could indicate:
- Mold growth
- Electrical issues
- Burned-out wire insulation
Don’t ignore these warning signs! Prompt attention from Berwyn Western’s experienced technicians can save you from costly repairs and ensure your home stays cool and comfortable all summer long.
