Warning Signs Your Comfort Systems Need a Jolt of Life!
With fall underway, many of us are getting ready for the gauntlet of holidays ahead—starting with the spookiest time of year, Halloween! While you’re enjoying jack o’ lanterns, candy corn, scary stories and more, you’ll want to be sure you aren’t ignoring warning signs that your house is becoming haunted by … heating and cooling issues??
It’s not just ghosts and ghouls that make a house of horrors. Struggling air conditioners, rattling furnaces, icy coils and more can be spooky, too! That’s why regular air conditioner service in Land O’ Lakes, FL, is essential to ensure your air conditioner can continue supporting you on warmer days ahead—especially after a long, hot summer.
How to Tell If Your Equipment Is ‘Haunted’
A haunted house and a haunted air conditioner may be vastly different, but they both show signs something is clearly out of the ordinary! Fortunately, you don’t need to steel your nerves, rent special equipment or wait until nightfall to investigate abnormal home comfort activity! These signs will tell you it’s time to give us a call.
A wailing heat pump. If you hear creepy noises coming from your unit, you may be experiencing motor or compressor issues. It’s important to be aware of these noises and address them as soon as possible.
A scratching noise from your AC. If it sounds like a creature is trying to get out of your unit, no need to shop for werewolf repellant. This is likely a broken component grinding against metal parts in your unit.
A dreadful smell in the air. Stale or odd odors, especially near your unit, can indicate the presence of mold or bacteria. If you smell it throughout your home, you could have excessively dirty ductwork that should be addressed because it could affect your health.
Mysterious puddles on the floor. No, it isn’t ectoplasm. Your AC may have sprung a leak. Loose fitting components and faulty seals can cause water and other fluids to drip from your unit and should be fixed right away.
Frightening energy bills. There’s nothing scarier than seeing your bills climb higher. If your energy bill goes up without a change in usage, your system may be working harder to operate due to an underlying issue. Call a professional like us to diagnose the problem.
