While other parts of the country are just now starting to\nuse their air conditioners for the season. Those of us in the Navarre area use\nours on nearly a daily basis. This said, our cooling systems go through a lot <\/em>every year, accumulating wear and\ntear at a rapid rate, and possibly requiring more repairs because of this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid the biggest and most sudden of repair needs, we\nencourage you to schedule maintenance at least once a year for your air\nconditioning system. During your tune-up, our professionals comprehensively\ninspect, clean, and adjust the components of your air conditioner to ensure its\noptimal performance. With or without this tune-up, however, if your AC is\nmaking sounds you don\u2019t recognize, it\u2019s time to call in a professional. What\nsounds are we referring to? Read on! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Hissing\/Gurgling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve had customers call and complain about a hissing sound, and others call saying they hear something that resembles gurgling. Depending on where exactly in the system it is, these two sounds can indicate the same problem\u2014a refrigerant leak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a fairly common misconception that air conditioners\nconsume refrigerant like vehicles consume gasoline. So, it\u2019s normal to lose\nrefrigerant, right? Wrong! If your air conditioner is losing refrigerant it\nmeans there is a leak. This is a much bigger deal than many homeowners realize,\nbecause refrigerant leaks deprive the cooling system of the fluid it needs to\ncool the home. As the refrigerant level\u2014charge\u2014in the air conditioner declines,\nso too does the ability to actually cool your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, the refrigerant charge will drop so low that the\ncooling system won\u2019t be able to operate and will break down. Call us for\nrepairs ASAP if you hear hissing or gurgling coming from your air conditioner! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grinding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The air handler is the component within your air conditioner\nactually responsible for circulating cooled air throughout your home while the\nsystem is running. The air handler\u2019s motor goes under a lot of stress while the\nsystem is running, so to help it copes, there are a number of oiled bearings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, however, these bearings wear down due to natural\nprogression and age. As this occurs, friction on the air handler motor increases.\nThis will cause the motor to emit a grinding sound while the system is running.\nIf you hear this noise, it\u2019s time to give us a call for repairs. The bearings\nwill need to be replaced before your air conditioner overheats and burns out as\na result. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short-Cycling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Short-cycling is when your air conditioner turns itself on\nand off every few minutes, rather than completing a full cooling cycle. It\u2019s\ntypically the result of an electrical problem within the air conditioner.\nShort-cycling is both a symptom of a problem and the cause of problems. It\nprevents the air conditioner from providing sufficient cooling, and also\naccelerates the rate at which the system wears down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If short-cycling is ignored for too long, your AC system\nwill be more likely to break down, shortening its lifespan. If you hear your\nsystem rapidly turning on and off, it\u2019s time to give us a call. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
