Summer is now only a month away, but hot temperatures are already here in New England. Now that your air conditioning system will be running more frequently it is important to be able to recognize the warning signs that indicate that you may need emergency HVAC servicing. This month’s post will go over some of the more common warning signs that your air conditioning system may be experiencing a serious issue, and that you should be contacting an emergency HVAC service specialist like us!
1. Little-To-No Air Flow
If your thermostat is functioning and is set properly, but your air conditioning system does not seem to be able to kick on properly then your system may be experiencing a range of issues that qualify as an emergency service repair. Some of these issues could potentially be a complication with the blower or a bad electrical connection between your unit’s thermostat and starter — just to name a few.
2. Strange Burning/Electrical Smells
When your air conditioning system is functioning properly, the only “strange” smell you should encounter is freshly circulated air. If you’re experiencing a burning odor coming from your air conditioner, that is normally an indication of an electrical complication or a part has become so overheated that it may actually be burning. If your air conditioning system smells like it’s burning, that is definitely an emergency service repair call!
3. Hearing Strange Sounds
There are a few reasons that your air conditioning system might be making strange noises, and many of them aren’t actually cause for concern. One common issue which leads to a loud screeching sound might be that the fan belt is loose. Proper maintenance can help avoid this, but sometimes life gets in the way and you need to call for a service repair appointment. Another reason your air conditioner could be making a loud, shrieking noise is that the compressor is operating at a high level of pressure, which can be unsafe. If any noise seems to be happening at an excessive rate (hearing it frequently throughout the day), shut off your air conditioning system immediately and call Robillard today for an emergency HVAC service appointment!
