How to Tell If Your A/C Unit Needs Repaired?

An air conditioning unit (A/C unit) is what cools down your house during the warm summer months.  In places like Phoenix, Tempe, and Scottsdale where summertime temperatures can soar above 115 degrees, your A/C unit is very important. Even more important is that your A/C unit is working, and working properly. The problem is that sometime these units do not always work properly. After all, we hardly need them during the winter and sometimes this can cause the A/C units not to work correctly when we turn them back on. There are many different warning signs that tell you if your A/C unit may need repaired. Listed below are some of these signs.

·         A/C unit does not turn on: This is obviously a big warning sign. If you air conditioning unit refuses to turn on, it definitely needs repaired. There are many different reasons why it is not turning on but no matter what the issue is, it needs repaired. Having access to cool air inside of your home is very important.

·         A/C unit is blowing warm air: If an air conditioning unit is blowing warm air, it is pretty much defeating the purpose it was created for. An air conditioner is made to blow cold air, not hot. Hot air means that something has become twisted or messed up inside of your A/C unit, and it needs work done. You do not want to heat up your home more than it already is during the summer time.

·         A/C unit does not turn off: There are many reasons why your air conditioner is not turning off.  None of these reasons are good though. It means that there is a senor or something that is not recognizing the fact that your air conditioner has reached the temperature you set it at. It needs repaired, or you will have an extremely high electricity bill.

·         Thermostat is not turning A/C on and off when it feels like it should: If you thermostat is not turning the air on and off at appropriate times, then something may be wrong with the sensor in the thermostat. The sensor is what tells the temperature of the air inside the house. If something is wrong with it, it may cause the A/C unit to run longer or shorter than it needs to.

What is listed above is just a few of the warning signs that may be present if your A/C unit needs repaired. There is no way to know all of the warning signs that may be present if your air conditioning unit is not running correctly, or if something is broken within it. Or in some cases, your A/C unit may not show any symptoms at all. The key is to just pay attention in case there is a warning sign.
