Air Conditioning Heating HVAC Repair

Unfortunately, your HVAC system can fail at any time. We find that many of our customers experience emergencies during the most inopportune times – on the weekends, holidays, in the middle of the night, or when the weather is most extreme. Knowing how to diagnose common HVAC problems before they turn into emergencies is a great way to stay ahead of these issues and prevent complete breakdowns.

Here are a few signs that something is wrong with your HVAC system and it’s time to call in the experts:

  1. Noisy Operation
    Is your HVAC system making noises it shouldn’t be making? A little noise is common for most heating and cooling systems, especially when you first turn them on and off. However, loud or unusual noises could be a sign that something is wrong with your equipment. If the noises continue to grow louder, it may be time to call in an expert to inspect the system’s parts to ensure there are no repair needs.

    Some uncommon sounds include cracking, popping, banging, humming, whining, and screeching. If you hear any noises that sound unusual from your typical operational sounds, then this may be a sign that something has broken or is about to break. It’s best to get this checked out by a professional as soon as possible as a breakdown could be just around the corner.

  2. Can’t Get Comfortable
    Are you having trouble staying comfortable in your home? It’s normal to increase or decrease the thermostat setting by a few degrees to stay comfortable when the weather outside starts to get colder or heat up. However, if you find yourself constantly at the thermostat increasing or decreasing the setting, this may be a sign that your heating and cooling system is not performing as optimally as it could be.

    When you have trouble keeping your home comfortable, this could be indicative of many different issues. The problem may be with the thermostat itself or it may indicate that your ducts are dirty or leaking. It can also point to issues with parts within the heating or cooling system itself. The only way to know for sure is to have your system diagnosed by a professional HVAC technician.

  3. Rapid Cycling
    Another issue that can point to issues with your heating and cooling system is rapid cycling. This is when the heater or air conditioner turns on and off quickly, many times throughout the day. If you notice this is happening when it previously worked fine, then it may indicate a problem with the thermostat or wiring.

    Rapid cycling not only indicates an issue with your HVAC system, but it can start to impact other parts of the equipment if not addressed soon. When your system cycles on and off, it’s causing unnecessary wear and tear to the equipment’s parts. This can lead to even more issues if not fixed. Not to mention, constant cycling impacts your energy usage and can cause your utility bills to skyrocket.

  4. Increasing Utility Costs
    Have you noticed a change in your utility bills? Though you may notice a slight increase in your energy usage when you start to use your HVAC system more in the winter and summer, this increase should not be drastic. As your system gets older or malfunctions to cause a lack of efficiency, you may start to see your utility costs rise drastically in a matter of just a few months.

    Look at your monthly energy costs over the past few months and check to see if there is an increase in costs without an increase in your usage. This is a good indicator that something may be causing your HVAC system to work inefficiently. An HVAC technician can inspect your system to find any repair issues and provide routine maintenance to ensure the system is running smoothly and efficiently.
