Signs You Need Air Conditioning Repair

A properly maintained air conditioner will last you a long time. But as your system gets older, it might start to run into problems. There are several reasons an air conditioner may stop working. Fortunately, no AC problem is too large or small for Wheat & Sons.

Call us today if you notice any of these issues:

  • Your AC is making a lot of noise: Loud noises usually mean your fan coil is dislodged or frayed. As the belt degrades, the noise can get louder and louder, causing a strain on your machine until the whole thing comes apart. We can replace your fan belt and lubricate the bearing in your motor to get your AC running like new.
  • Your AC coil is frozen: If you go too long without changing your air filters, there’s a good chance your refrigerant coil will ice up at some point during the summer. As warm, humid air passes through the coil, the moisture in the air condenses on the coil and moves through the condensate drain as the air flows. If airflow is restricted, the moisture stays on the extremely low-temperature coil, quickly freezing. Frozen AC coils can cause many problems, including reduced cooling capacity and, eventually, full compressor failure.
  • Your AC is leaking: Leaky air conditioners present a double problem — your air conditioner is damaged, which is bad enough, but leaks can also lead to mold and mildew growth. If your AC condensate drain stops working and you have water in your home, contact our pros. We can replace your rusted condensate pan or clear blockages in the drain pipe — whatever it takes to fix the problem.
  • Your AC isn’t cooling your home: If there are no obvious signs of damage to your AC but it’s not providing enough cool air, call us. We use the latest tools and technology to figure out what’s going on with your system so we can fix it as soon as possible.

If you notice any of these symptoms or if your air conditioner isn’t working to its full capacity, don’t let the problem get worse — contact James A. Wheat & Sons. We can help you get your air conditioning unit working efficiently and safely.

Air Conditioning Repair FAQs

Why would my AC suddenly stop working?

If your AC stops working suddenly, check the fuses and the circuit breaker. You should also check the thermostat to ensure no one accidentally switched it to the heat setting. If this isn’t the cause of the problem, you may have a frozen unit. Call an AC repair professional to get prompt help.

Why is there ice on my air conditioner?

Ice buildup on the outdoor unit of an air conditioner is a sign of problems. This can happen if the filter gets clogged or if the unit is low on refrigerant. If you’re sure the filter isn’t the culprit, call our team to assess the situation more thoroughly.

What problems indicate a need for emergency AC repair?

If you’re hearing loud banging noises from your air conditioner or if you smell an electrical smell, you need prompt help. And if the AC won’t run at all and temperatures are dangerously high, you have an air conditioning emergency.
