4 Signs Your AC Needs Repair
Usually, your AC will show signs of a problem before it breaks down. With the help of air conditioning repair from AIS, you can address the problem early, which will save you money and prevent the frustration of a full system breakdown.
Here are four warning signs that may indicate there’s a problem with your air conditioner that needs to be addressed:
1.Warm air:Â If your system is blowing warm air, this might suggest that you may have a compressor malfunction or a refrigerant leak. One of our experienced HVAC technicians will evaluate and resolve this issue for you.
2. Unusual smells: If you notice a strange or pungent smell, it may be a sign that the wire insulation in the system is burned and needs to be replaced. Unpleasant smells are one of the symptoms that your AC needs maintenance.
3. High humidity: If you notice water pooling around windows or a sticky feeling in the air, it could mean your AC is no longer effectively removing humidity from the air. Since dehumidified air feels cooler than humid air of the same temperature, this affects your comfort. It’s also a safety issue because humidity increases mold and mildew growth and may result in various severe health problems.
4. Leaks or moisture near your system:Â If you notice a buildup of moisture or leaks around your system, you need to address this quickly to avoid worsening problems. You could have a condensation leak or a refrigerator leak, which is a more serious matter because refrigerants are hazardous.
The Benefits of Buying a New AC
The summers are long, warm, and mostly clear in Newark, and the winters are short, cold, and wet. Without a functioning HVAC system, it can get extremely uncomfortable and potentially unbearable. Therefore, a working HVAC system is necessary for homes and businesses in the Newark area.
When choosing a new AC, its features are important. Proper installation of your unit will improve your new system experience by:
- Increasing energy efficiency
- Improving safety
- Reducing your carbon footprint
- Improving ventilation and temperature control
- Extending your unit’s service life
If you’re looking for a high-quality system that offers power, energy efficiency, and complete home comfort, trust the seasoned professionals at AIS. We consider all vital factors, such as the size of your home, your cooling needs, your insulation levels, and more, so we can select the ideal system for your home.
Ductless Systems
Ductless mini-splits are an energy-efficient option that’s well-suited for our climate. Ductless systems can effectively cool your home or apartment in the summer, and many are engineered to reverse the flow of refrigerant to heat your home or apartment in winter.
At AIS Heating & Air Conditioning, we offer a broad selection of top-quality ductless units that will help reduce energy consumption, utility bills, and your carbon footprint while enhancing your comfort.
Ductless Replacement
With proper care and maintenance, most ductless systems have an anticipated lifespan of around 20 years. We recommend ductless mini-split replacement when the energy efficiency, reliability, and performance of an aging system declines significantly, or if any repairs exceed 50% of the replacement cost.
There are many benefits to upgrading your ductless system. Newer models deliver exceptional energy efficiency, superior airflow, quieter operation, and greater reliability. There are many tax credits, manufacturer rebates, and other incentives that make it considerably less expensive to upgrade your system and reduce your carbon footprint.
Ductless Repair
As with all mechanical cooling systems, components will wear out and may fail as the unit ages. Common issues with ductless systems are similar to central ACs and include malfunctioning blower fans, condensate and refrigerant leaks, and clogged drains and filters.
Our team has the expertise, tools, and top-quality replacement components to promptly restore your system to full operation. We’ll thoroughly inspect your system and perform the required ductless mini-split repairs to the highest quality standard.
Ductless Installation
Ductless mini-splits can be installed in nearly any room in your home or apartment. Installation requires calculating the optimal size and then positioning and connecting the indoor evaporator unit and outdoor condenser unit. Ductless installation is ideal for Bay Area properties and can be used to create energy-efficient heating and cooling zones.
Ductless Maintenance
Ductless maintenance should be performed every year. Our licensed and insured HVAC technicians will change the air filters, clean condenser coils, clear drainage, and check refrigerant levels. We’ll also clear away debris from the exterior unit, test electrical connections, and perform all manufactured maintenance tasks.
These tasks help improve the performance and energy efficiency of your ductless mini-split. Equally as important, staying on top of preventative maintenance will also extend the serviceable lifespan of your system and reduce your long-term repair and replacement costs.
Importance of Preventative AC Maintenance
The most common question our Newark-area customers ask about their air conditioning maintenance is if it’s necessary to do it every spring. “Is it OK to skip a year?”
The answer is no because annual maintenance is key to catching minor AC issues before they get worse. The cleaning, lubrication, and tightening done during a tune-up also help your unit run more effectively and efficiently. Skipping maintenance may save money in the short term, but it will cost you in the long run.
A comprehensive maintenance program from AIS is the perfect solution to reduce energy waste and minimize the risks of an AC breakdown in your home.
Our dedicated HVAC maintenance teams provide thorough cleaning services, system evaluations, lubrication and performance checks, and more so you can enjoy more dependable home cooling all summer in Alameda County. Schedule your annual AC tune-up in Newark this year by contacting AIS.
