Recognizing if your air conditioning system is having problems is crucial to prevent more complex problems in the future that may affect other areas in your home. Although we are often unaware of how such complex systems work as a homeowner, we still notice the difference in the performance, weird sounds, and even odors coming from your A/C system.

Brighton Air Corporation helps you assess the condition of your system while offering repair and maintenance services in New Jersey, so you don't waste another day with a broken A/C system.

5 Signs Your A/C System Might Need Repair

You don't have to be an expert to notice that something is wrong with your air conditioning system. The following checklist will give you clues about whether your system needs repair and you didn't know it yet.

1. Weak Ventilation

The most obvious one is that your air conditioner has fragile airflow, and therefore does not circulate properly in the room. This sign of weak airflow often indicates a problem with the compressor or air ducts. It is something your HVAC technician should evaluate.

2. Warm Ventilation

If your goal is to ventilate and refresh the temperature in your home, but you're getting the opposite from your air conditioning system, it could indicate a problem with the compressor. The compressor isn't cooling the air properly, or your system is low on refrigerant. It could even mean you have a duct problem somewhere that is pulling air from the outside or an attic space instead of from the compressor.

3. Unusual Sounds

Keep an eye, and two ears, for these sounds:

  • Metal-on-metal Squeaking: The metal-on-metal sound can often be caused by your outdoor unit's fan motor bearings. This repair will likely require the replacement of the fan.

  • Outdoor Unit Knocking Sound: This noise is likely an indicator that your outdoor unit's fan is hitting something. There may be a significant obstruction, or the fan bracket may have come loose. If that is the case, the wobbling is causing it to hit the protective cage around it.

  • Outdoor Unit Clicking While Running: This could mean a small obstruction in the fan of your outdoor unit. You should inspect the fan and remove anything that might be hitting it while it is running.

4. Frequent Repairs

There is no point in spending on repairs if they are only prolonging the unit's life for short periods. It is not always in the budget to replace an A/C system. Still, it is probably more economical to go ahead with the replacement.

5. Humidity Leaks In Or Around The HVAC System

If you notice a buildup or a peculiar color, it's time to call for repair. The most severe type of leak you may experience would be a refrigerant leak. Refrigerants are toxic, so any refrigerant leak is cause for concern. If you have a condensate leak, the condensate drain line may be blocked or broken.
