When it gets hot in the summer and you turn on the AC unit you expect it to kick in and cool things down.
What if it doesn't? There are a few signs you can watch for to see if your AC is running properly or not.
By knowing these signs that start to show up you can get a technician in and have the problem taken care of quickly.
If you wait and ignore the signs, it could cause you more repairs in the future and a hot home while waiting.
Be sure that if you see or notice any of these signs in your home that you call your local technician to come check things out.
Here are three signs to be aware of to know if your AC is not running correctly.
Not Maintaining Temperatures When you set your thermostat to a certain temperature you expect it to stay there.
Your air conditioning system should have no problem maintaining that temperature in your home.
It should be able to run and maintain it no matter what's going on outside.
If you notice that your thermostat is not staying on the same temperature or your AC can not handle the load, there may be a problem there.
You could be out of refrigerant depending on your unit.
You could also have a unit that is too small for your home.
Either case, if you notice this sign it's time to call your air conditioner technician.
Hot Spots In The Home Moving from room to room in your home you should not notice too much of a temperature difference.
If you do then there are a few things you can check out.
One make sure all the air vents are open.
If they are not then this could be the problem.
Make sure that the other rooms are all staying close to the right temperature and make note of the ones that aren't.
If you notice that your rooms are different temperatures and that it is very noticeable when walking from room to room, there could be an issue.
This could also be because of the size of the unit or you could have a clogged duct somewhere.
Blowing Hot Air If you have turned your AC unit on and it is not blowing cool air there is a problem somewhere.
This could be because of a leak with your refrigerant or you could have a problem somewhere else.
If you haven't run it in a while you may want to give it a few seconds to cool down then check again.
If you still notice the air is not cold at all coming out of the vents, there is an issue that needs to be checked out.
There could be something as simple as a line is frozen somewhere that needs to be unclogged or there could be no refrigerant in the unit at all.
Your technician can come out and find out the exact issue for you.
Sometimes the unit needs to be recharged and that will have you up and running soon.
If you notice any of these three signs in your home you may want to call and schedule your tune-up soon.
These can all be minor issues but left alone can wreak havoc on your home and your system.
