Reliable Miami Air Conditioning Repair Service
With air conditioner units lasting longer than they once did, many people across Miami Beach are now finding themselves in need of AC repairs after only 5-10 years of use (the average lifespan is usually 10-15 years). As most central air problems can happen at any time, it is important for home owners to know when these malfunctions begin so they don't get caught off guard with an cooling system shutdown during the most sweltering parts of summer.
Here are six warning signs you should watch out for that indicate you may need AC repair in Miami:
1. Elevated humidity levels in your home
Your Miami air conditioner works by taking the heat and moisture from the air inside of your home and pushing it outside. If AC is not working efficiently, you will notice that the humidity level inside of your house is higher than normal or that condensation is accumulating on walls or other AC surfaces.
2. Lukewarm air coming from your vents
Another common AC symptom is lukewarm air coming out of vents despite the AC unit running for a long time and other symptoms listed below. Lukewarm air may indicate that AC coils are dirty, but it usually means there's a problem with refrigerant flow within the AC unit (another issue usually requiring AC repair).
3. Higher cooling bills
You might not notice this AC symptom right away, but AC repair Miami professionals say that AC units that are struggling to cool your home or that turn on and off frequently need AC repairs.
4. Unusual noises or odors coming from your AC unit
Grinding, rattling, whining, banging, squealing, hissing - all of these are common AC noises without huge AC problems (and may actually fade with time), but if you hear other strange sounds or smell weird smells like sulfur or freon gas (which only AC technicians should be smelling) then it's time for AC repair.
5. Moisture or leaking around the AC unit
A musty smell near the vents is common in humid conditions as humidity gets into vents and AC coils and accumulates. AC repair may be necessary as AC leaked can damage AC components or mold which is a serious AC hazard.
6. Certain rooms warmer than others even though the AC is running
AC systems work by blowing air through vents and forcing hot air out of vents, but if you notice certain rooms getting hotter and staying at higher temperatures than others despite AC being on for hours or that whole home feels warmer than it should then it's time to call for AC repairs.
Why Lukewarm Air Is Circulating in Your Home
If your air conditioner seems to be working, but you can feel lukewarm air coming from the vents, you may have an issue with your evaporator coil or the refrigerant used in your system. We will come in and inspect your air conditioner and then provide the appropriate services to get things back to normal. It can be almost impossible to sleep comfortably during a summer night in Miami with no air conditioning, so calling for professional attention is a must.
Some other reasons you may not be getting cool air include:
- Heat gains from the windows in the house
- An issue with your thermostat
- Poor insulation
- Losing cool air through leaky ductwork
- Debris surrounding your AC unit
If your system is damaged beyond repair, we also offer air conditioning installation and new air conditioner replacement, so you won’t have to be uncomfortable for long. Our AC installation services in Miami can typically be completed in a single day.
Risks of a Dirty Air Filter
The air filter is one of the most basic parts of any air conditioning system, but it’s important to change it regularly to prevent it from getting clogged and dirty. A dirty filter can affect the air quality in your home and cause your old air conditioner to work harder than it should, decreasing efficiency and lowering its lifespan.
When you call us for an AC tune-up, we will check the filter and let you know how often it should be changed for optimal performance.
