When the seasons change and spring and summer come around, the time comes again to use your air conditioner. And oftentimes, you just assume that after a winter break, your air conditioner will run as well as it did the year prior. This is not always the case, though. There are numerous air conditioner problems to keep an eye out for in your home this spring and summer. Get to know more about some of these problems. Then, you can be sure you contact an HVAC contractor as soon as possible if you notice any of these problems in your home. 

Air Flow Seems Low

One of the signs of trouble with your air conditioner is if it seems to not be blowing much air through the vents. Weak airflow is a sign that something is not right with the blower and fans in your air conditioning system.

Sometimes, this can be as simple as a few minor repairs. However, it can also be a sign that the entire air conditioner is about to fail and you should be checking into air conditioners for sale. The only way to be sure is to have an HVAC contractor come out and take a look at things. 

Warm Air Comes Out

When the summer heat is on and you have your air conditioner running, the air coming out should feel nice and cool, almost arctic in comparison to outside. If the air coming out is room temperature or otherwise warm, you have a problem on your hands. You may need more coolant in your air conditioner or you may have a mechanical problem (or both).

Your Air Conditioner Is Noisy

A noisy air conditioner is also a problematic air conditioning system. Pay attention to how loud the air conditioning unit outside sounds as well as how things sound inside. If you notice banging noises, whining, or the fans seem especially loud, you should call an HVAC contractor right away. With any luck, the problem is something came loose somewhere in the system and just needs to be tightened back up, but letting that type of thing go can result in significant damage to the system. 

You Notice Pooling Water or Condensation

If you go down to your utility room and you notice pooling water or a lot of condensation on the air conditioner, you probably have a problem with your air conditioner drainage. Getting the clog removed will prevent problems with excess water and prevent your air conditioner from freezing over. 

Now that you know some of the problems with your air conditioner to keep an eye out for, you can be sure you contact an HVAC contractor when you need help with these issues.
