How to Tell if Your AC is in Need of Emergency Repair

October 13, 2017

Your air conditioner is vital to keeping you comfortable during the warmer Franklin Lakes days. If your system breaks down, it can really compromise your comfort! So, how do you recognize when you may need an AC repair? Sometimes your air conditioner will show symptoms that it needs to be looked at before it breaks down completely. Be on the lookout for any of the following symptoms and give Total Comfort a call if you feel your AC is on the fritz.

If you observe a lack of cooled air or decreased airflow, this is a definite sign that something isn’t right. Give the experts at Total Comfort a call if your house doesn’t seem to cool down or if it won’t keep cool. When your system can’t keep up with your cool-air needs any longer, there’s likely a problem. Whether it’s running low on Freon, having challenges with its condenser, or there’s an issue with your ductwork, we are here to help.

Typically, if your air conditioner becomes noisy, there’s likely a problem that needs AC repair. If you hear squealing or grinding sounds, contact us. You shouldn’t hear much from a properly working AC outside of the sound of your fan turning on or shutting off. AC problems that create abnormal sounds indicate a potential breakdown.

If you notice a leak coming from your AC, call us for an AC repair immediately. A condensation leak poses less of a health risk, but you’ll want to get it repaired before there is a bigger problem, like mold growth.

Bad or unfamiliar odors coming from your registers indicate your system needs service.

If you think you’re in need of an AC repair from any of these indicators, give Total Comfort a call at 201-268-5663 and our team can help you. If your AC is running as it should, but it’s behind schedule for a routine maintenance visit, we encourage you to call to set one up. It could save you from costly, larger repairs down the line. We look forward to serving you.
