Youngtown AC Repair
Aside from not producing cold air, it’s not always obvious when something is wrong with your air conditioner. It is essential to know that there are some warning signs you shouldn’t ignore that indicate trouble with your system and that you should call for help before it worsens.
Here are the most common signs your AC system is in trouble.
- During operation, loud noises like squealing, banging, grinding, or buzzing during operation.
- The room temperature doesn’t match the reading on the thermostat.
- Sudden rise in your utility bills.
- Inconsistent temperatures room to room.
- Uncomfortable humidity levels.
These problems don’t always mean AC replacement is imminent, but you should have them checked by a certified professional as soon as possible.
Furnace Replacement
My furnace is working fine, so why should I replace it?
We get that question a lot, but even if your old furnace seems to be working without issue, remember that the older a system gets, the greater the chance it will die when you need it most.
There are telltale signs your furnace gives out alerting you that it’s nearing the end of its life that you should be aware of.
There are several signs your furnace is reaching the end of its life and needs to be replaced.
Age
The average furnace lasts from 15 to 20 years. If yours has served you well for that long, or even longer, it’s time to replace it.
Repairs
Even if your furnace isn’t old, it may not be worth the expense if you pay for frequent repairs. The money could be better spent on a new furnace.
Excessive noise
If your furnace makes loud squealing or banging noises, that’s a sign it needs repair soon — or maybe even replacement.
Odd smells
Unusual odors coming from your furnace signify there could be a problem with the system’s wiring or motor, which means it needs repair. In some cases, you may need to replace your furnace if you notice odd smells when it’s running.
Frequent cycling
If your heater turns on and off frequently without reaching the desired temperature, it could mean your unit is past its prime or needs repair.
Annual furnace maintenance will keep your system running efficiently and help you avoid many of the problems of aging, but it can’t make your furnace last forever.
