Air Flow Issues

One of the simplest ways to spot AC issues is checking for basic air flow. One of the first signs of problems in many cases is a simple lack of air, which could be caused by blockages in ducts or issues with a compressor or blower fan. Without the right service, these issues will lead to both increased costs (the AC has to pump more air) and decreased air quality.

In addition, warm air can be a concern for some systems. This usually means the unit requires more refrigerant, but could also signal a refrigerant leak – and that’s why you call experts like us for AC repair in Salt Lake City.

Noises

In many cases, weird sounds will tip you off to issues in the air conditioning system. A rattling, grinding or squealing sound could signal mechanical issues, and a need for professional AC repair and service.

Uneven Temperatures

If you notice certain rooms receiving the proper air while others are still far too warm or cold, this could be another sign. You could also notice large differences in the raw amounts of air being shuttled into the se rooms. These might mean a basic issue with your thermostat, but if not, they could also signal circuit breaker issues.

Smell

If you smell a musty odor near the AC, or especially if you notice a sharper, foul smell, these could be signs of issues. The former can signal the presence of too much moisture in the unit, which can lead to mold and mildew. The latter can indicate burned-out wiring, which will negatively impact the unit until it’s replaced.
