Identifying When Your AC Requires Repair
Recognizing the signs that your air conditioning unit needs repair can help you act quickly. This can not only save you, your family, or your employees from some discomfort, but it may also allow our team to mitigate any damage.
These red flags are a good indicator it’s time to call us:
Unusual noises: Sounds like grinding can indicate bearing problems in the fan motor, while squealing might suggest a belt issue, something that is usually found in older units. Rattling often points to loose parts or debris inside the system.
Weak airflow: Reduced airflow often signifies a blockage in your system's ductwork or a faltering compressor. It can also be caused by dirty air filters or broken motor blades, significantly reducing your unit's efficiency and ability to cool your home effectively.
Warm air: Your AC’s fundamental purpose is to blow cold air. Failure could be due to a refrigerant leak or a compressor issue.
Frequent cycles: Although it's normal for your unit to cycle on and off to maintain a set temperature, rapid cycling is abnormal. This could be a sign of an oversized AC, electrical issues, or a malfunctioning thermostat.
High humidity levels: Persistent high humidity levels can indicate that your system is not effectively removing moisture from the air, which might require re-calibration or possibly the installation of a dehumidifier alongside the unit.
Water leaks: AC units produce condensation during their normal operation, but none of this water should accumulate or leak into your home. Visible leaks or pooling water around your unit can be symptomatic of a blocked condensate drain line or a refrigerant leak.
Bad odors: Musty smells can indicate mold or mildew within your unit or ductwork, which can be seriously damaging to indoor air quality. In some cases, a "burning" smell could indicate hazardous electrical problems.
Why Choose Professional AC Repair Services
A lot of our clients are quite adept at handling repairs and various tasks around the house or office. Even acknowledging this, and even acknowledging our natural professional bias, there are still good reasons to call an AC repair pro in our Lincoln Park office rather than going the DIY route.
Our professional technicians bring a wealth of experience and training to every job, significantly increasing the likelihood of a quick and effective resolution. Their hands-on knowledge allows them to adapt to any complications that could arise.
While tackling projects yourself might seem like a cost-saving strategy, there's always the risk of mistakes. DIY damage may not be covered by a warranty, whereas our professional services are.
Consider the value of your free time. Whether it's spending moments with family, pursuing hobbies, or focusing on business priorities, your time is precious. Entrusting repair tasks to us frees you to focus on what you care most about.
Our Commitment to Exceptional Service
Winslow Heating and Cooling is a family-owned business that’s been here since 1987. The reason we’ve thrived in a competitive industry is that we go beyond putting the customer first—we believe that’s not enough. The customer has to be more than first—they have to be the only one who matters. That’s why we’re always available. It’s why we take the time with people to explain all of their options, and we don’t push services that aren’t needed. Our job is simply to give you the necessary information to decide, and then carry out your decision with workmanlike precision.
That’s our approach, and people must appreciate it because they’ve given us some terrific reviews, and they continue to come back. We hope meeting and serving you will be a part of our future.
How long does it typically take to repair an air conditioner?
The time it takes to repair an AC unit depends on the complexity of the issue. Most repairs can be completed within a few hours, but more complicated issues, such as a refrigerant leak or motor replacement, may take longer. Our technicians will provide you with an estimated time frame once they assess the issue.
What is the difference between an AC repair and an AC tune-up?
AC repair addresses a specific malfunction, such as a broken part or system failure. AC tune-ups, on the other hand, are preventive services designed to maintain the unit’s performance and efficiency, including cleaning, lubricating parts, and ensuring everything is working optimally. We recommend scheduling a tune-up before the peak summer season to keep your system running smoothly.
