Local, Strongsville AC Repair Company
It’s important to schedule AC diagnostics as soon as you notice a problem. Cooling problems can rapidly worsen and become a lot more expensive to repair. In the meantime, you could be spending more on energy consumption and reducing the lifespan of your system.
One of the earliest signs you need AC repair service is higher electricity bills. We encourage homeowners to track their electricity usage month to month and year to year. You can even install a smart thermostat that monitors energy usage for you and provides alerts. When a sudden surge occurs, contact us to inspect your system.
Another problem to watch for is irregular system cycling. The typical central AC system will run two to three times an hour, for about 10 to 15 minutes. A system that turns on more than three times an hour is short-cycling, often due to overheating. The underlying cause could be as simple as a clogged HVAC filter or as serious as a refrigerant leak.
An AC that runs for extended periods often has an electrical problem. It could be a worn wire, a faulty thermostat, or even an incorrect thermostat setting. An unrealistic temperature setting, for instance, can cause an AC to continue running.
Don’t ignore high humidity levels either. While an AC isn’t a dehumidifier, it will dehumidify the air somewhat as it cools your home’s air. While it does get humid in our area, a home’s AC should be enough to keep the relative humidity below 60%. If your home is cool but muggy, it may indicate a dirty evaporator coil or a more serious issue with the refrigerant system.
Our technicians can also diagnose uneven cooling, which is another common problem. It can range from warm spots in certain rooms to uneven or sharp temperature differences between levels in multi-floor homes. In many cases, this is due to insufficient airflow. Perhaps the blower isn’t running at the appropriate speed, or there’s leakage in the ductwork. Other potential causes include a clogged filter, incorrect thermostat placement, or vent obstructions.
