When to Service Your AC: Signs You Need Professional Help
Learn the warning signs that indicate your AC needs professional servicing. Don't wait until it breaks down!
Introduction
Your air conditioner works hard to keep you comfortable, especially during Mumbai's hot and humid summers. But like any machine, it needs regular maintenance and sometimes professional attention. Here are the key signs that indicate your AC needs professional service.
1. Reduced Cooling Performance
If your AC is running but not cooling as effectively as before, it could indicate several issues: low refrigerant, dirty filters, or a malfunctioning compressor. Professional diagnosis is essential.
2. Unusual Noises
Strange sounds like grinding, squealing, or banging noises are warning signs. These could indicate loose parts, motor issues, or other mechanical problems that need immediate attention.
3. Water Leakage
Water leaking from your AC unit is not normal and can cause damage to your home. This could be due to a blocked drain pipe, frozen evaporator coils, or improper installation.
4. Unpleasant Odors
Musty or burning smells from your AC indicate mold growth, dirty filters, or electrical issues. These problems can affect air quality and should be addressed promptly.
5. High Energy Bills
A sudden increase in electricity bills without increased usage often means your AC is working harder than it should. This could be due to various efficiency issues that need professional attention.
6. Frequent Cycling
If your AC turns on and off frequently, it might be struggling to maintain temperature. This could indicate issues with the thermostat, refrigerant levels, or the unit's capacity.
