Florida summers are no joke. When temperatures in Pinellas County climb into the 90s, the last thing you want is an air conditioner that gives out on you. The good news is your AC usually gives warning signs before it completely breaks down. Here is what to watch for.
1. Warm Air Coming From Your Vents If your AC is running but blowing warm or room temperature air, something is wrong. It could be a refrigerant issue, a compressor problem, or a failing component.
2. Strange Noises A healthy AC runs quietly. If you are hearing banging, grinding, rattling or squealing sounds, those are signs of loose or failing parts inside the unit.
3. Weak Airflow If some rooms feel significantly warmer than others or the air coming from your vents feels weak, you could have a duct issue, a clogged filter, or a failing blower motor.
4. Unusually High Energy Bills If your electric bill has jumped without a change in your habits, your AC is likely working harder than it should to keep up.
5. Frequent Cycling On and Off If your AC is turning on and off more than usual, it is a sign the system is struggling and putting excessive wear on the unit.
Do not wait until your AC completely stops working in the middle of a Florida summer. Call Coolaire of Pinellas at 727 289 9876. We arrive within 30 minutes and are available 24/7 for emergency service.
