Leaks
If you notice any leaks coming from your air conditioner, that’s a red flag of some sort of problem. Leaks can happen for a couple of different reasons. The condensate drain line may get clogged and cause water to back up and spill into your home. The condensate drain line is where humidity gathers to drain outside of your home as well as helping your home feel more comfortable. The clogs can happen because of mold growth or dust buildup in the line.
Leaks can also happen from the refrigerant lines. Refrigerant leaks are dangerous since refrigerant is a chemical. If you touch it, it can burn your skin. Breathing refrigerant fumes in is equally dangerous. If you see a stain that you suspect is a refrigerant leak, give our team a call right away to schedule service and avoid trying to clean it up yourself. Our team will repair the damage that allowed a refrigerant leak, and then recharge the refrigerant levels.
High Humidity Levels
Aside from leaks, as we already mentioned above, your condensate drain line can also cause high humidity. If it develops a clog, then when the water spills back out into your home it can re-evaporate into the air and increase humidity levels.
No matter how well your air conditioner operates to cool your home, high humidity levels can make air feel hot and muggy. Setting your thermostat lower won’t help and instead will just increase your energy costs as your AC unit works harder against the circumstances.
Unusual Operation
Anything that is out of the ordinary for your air conditioner should also be considered a cause for concern. Aside from unusual noises, your air conditioner may turn on and off more or less frequently. Having an AC unit that turns on and off every few minutes is a red flag that your unit cannot complete a cooling cycle. If the unit turns on and stays on without cycling off for a break after about 10 to 15 minutes, that’s a red flag of the unit not being able to keep up with cooling needs.
