Wow, My Air Conditioner Is Loud!

Monday, May 28th, 2018

relaxingIf your air conditioner is failing to start up when temperatures really rise, or if it is blowing hot air into your home, then you are probably going to pick up the phone and schedule prompt air conditioning repairs. Other issues with your air conditioner may not elicit the same prompt action, however. That’s a shame, because any signs of trouble with your AC are definitely cause for concern. Just because the system is up and running does not mean that it is functioning properly, after all.

Loud or unfamiliar sounds coming from your air conditioner, for instance, could mean that you have a problem requiring professional air conditioning repair in Cocoa,  FL. If you hear any such sounds coming from your system, we really must stress that prompt service is always going to be in your best interest. Sure, your system may not be at immediate risk of breaking down. That does not mean that the problem will go away on its own, though. In fact, it is only going to get worse until corrective measures are taken.

Monday, April 2nd, 2018

service-timeWe would love to tell you that there is a way in which to ensure that you never encounter problems with your air conditioning system. As anyone that has ever used any mechanical system can attest to, however, this is just not the case. All mechanical systems, your air conditioner included, will run into operational issues from time to time. There is no way to avoid them completely, though routine AC maintenance will help to keep your system as reliable as possible.

All that being said,  it is true that certain problems that you may encounter with your air conditioner are a bit more concerning than others. Case in point: the refrigerant leak. Refrigerant plays an integral role in the cooling process that your air conditioner follows, and a refrigerant leak will have a number of undesirable consequences for the system  at large.  So keep the following information in mind, and be sure to schedule any necessary AC repairs in Palm Bay, FL with our team.

Why Does My AC Keep Shutting Down?

Wednesday, March 21st, 2018

AC-tech-workingYour air conditioner in Palm Bay, FL should not really be running 24 hours a day, so the fact that it shuts down at some point does not mean that there is a problem. However, it should not be shutting down right after it starts up and begins cooling your home—or attempting too, anyway. This type of rapid on-and-off action is called “short cycling,” and it is a real problem. Not only does it suggest an existing problem with your AC, but it also leads to further problems.

Like so many other air conditioning problems, there are quite a few reasons as to why your air conditioner may begin to short cycle. The good news is that not all of them are terribly serious. The cause of the problem could be serious, though, so it is important that you get a proper diagnosis right away. We’ll figure out what the problem is, and we have a tip to help you rule out a simple fix right off the bat.

Is It Time for AC Repairs?

Monday, March 5th, 2018

woman-in-front-of-fanIf so, then you should act fast. Now, we’re only in early March, and our current temperatures certainly fall well shy of the highs that we expect to see during the summer season. That in no way means that you can afford to overlook any problems with your air conditioning system in Palm Bay, FL, though, and it definitely doesn’t mean that you’ll want to wait until temperatures really spike before you have them resolved. Doing so is opening yourself up to AC issues.

When in doubt, contact us to share your concerns.
