Signs You Need AC Repair

If you think you need AC repair, we encourage you to check the filter first and change it if necessary. A dirty air filter is one of the most common causes of air conditioner breakdowns. When the filter gets dirty and clogged, the unit can’t cool as it should.

If you’ve checked and changed the filter and the AC still isn’t working, it could be one of several common AC system problems:

  • Low or leaking AC refrigerant: Refrigerant is the chemical that cools the air within the AC unit. If your air conditioner’s refrigerant is low, either it was filled improperly during installation or you’ve got a leak, which can be dangerous. Schedule air conditioning repair as soon as possible.
  • Electronic failure: When the controls or sensors on your air conditioner malfunction, your unit — along with the condenser and fan — can’t operate. Luckily, electronic problems are typically a simple fix.
  • Fan or condenser malfunction: When your air conditioner’s fan breaks down, heat transfer suffers and sometimes causes compressor damage. The condenser, the outside unit, can fail due to a refrigerant leak, debris from damaged metal parts inside, or several other reasons. A broken condenser is a serious issue that a professional should address quickly.
  • Frozen AC coils: How do your air conditioner’s coils freeze even in the summer heat? If the airflow is compromised, moisture stays on the AC coils and freezes. Frozen coils can result in compressor failure, reduced cooling capacity, and other problems. Avoiding frozen coils is another great reason to replace the air conditioner’s filters at least every three months.
  • Water leaks: Although a water leak is preferable to a refrigerant leak, it’s still a problem. Leaking water can indicate that your AC unit has a choked drain pipe, corroded condensate pan, or other problems. Call for repair before the leaking water starts to cause mold and mildew.
  • Continual on-and-off cycling: When your air conditioner keeps cycling off and on, it could be that its compressor or fan controls are damaged or worn down. Sometimes, it’s an indication that the unit is too large for your home.
  • Overly noisy operation: Is your AC clanging, banging, clicking, or whining? There may be something broken inside that’s getting knocked around. It’s a good idea to get it repaired before it causes additional damage.

Your air conditioning system can experience many problems. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to have a professional diagnose the problem as soon as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need repairs or should I replace my AC?

If your air conditioner is at least 10 years old, a replacement might save you money through improved technology and energy efficiency. If it’s at least 15 years old, you’re already pushing into the upper reaches of its lifespan and will need to replace it soon either way. If it’s newer than that but prone to problems or doesn’t fit your home correctly, replacement may also be a wise choice.

How can I minimize the cost of repairs in the future?

Regular professional tune-ups will greatly reduce the frequency and severity of your repairs over the life of your air conditioner. Regular maintenance identifies the little problems that can turn into minor repairs, and it can prevent the minor repairs from turning into major repairs or a replacement. It also improves energy efficiency and performance.

Is it okay that my AC is always running, or does it need repairs?

Ideally, during the hottest days of the year, your AC will run constantly and keep your home comfortable but not cold; it’s better for your unit to run continually because an AC is inefficient at starting but efficient once it starts. You only have a problem if it won’t turn off when the thermostat says it should or if it cycles on and off constantly.

Can I do any repairs myself?

Most repairs you’d need to do on an air conditioner require specialized knowledge and tools to be performed safely. You might be able to service issues that aren’t directly related to the main components of the air conditioner, though you won’t be identifying the root issue. You might be able to clear obstructions in your ducts, swap out dirty filters, or fix an obvious drainage issue that’s leading to freezing. If you’re struggling to fix one of those issues yourself or you have a more serious issue on your hands, you should contact a professional.
