Air conditioning systems have become part and parcel of our everyday life making a day or two without them unbearable for most people. It is for this reason that many invest in an AC that is good quality and will perform as required at all times. However, this is not always the case as their performance may slow down or they break down altogether. At such times, it is important to have them repaired by an AC repair Alexandria professional to get it back to working condition.

Warning signs that you need your AC repaired

If you have been using your AC for a while now, you probably know when it’s working at its optimum and when it is not. Even so, there are some major signs that you should look out for when inspecting the unit to ascertain whether you should call AC repair Alexandria or not.

  • Sudden shutdown of AC

If your air conditioning system has the tendency to automatically shut itself off within a few minutes of putting it on, it needs repair. Most AC’s need electricity to function and so if it shuts itself off, it may mean it’s not receiving enough flow to keep it functioning. Alternatively, the electricity flow may be too much causing it to shut off, as a preventative measure, so that it does not damage the other components of the machine.

  • No release of cold air

Air conditioning systems are designed to produce cold air to make a warm room much cooler. However, if your machine seems to be running but you cannot feel any cool air coming from it, an obstruction of the air flow might have occurred. Alternatively, the air being produced may be colder than the prescribed settings resulting in the need to have it checked out. Consider having an air conditioning contractor  come over to your house to find out if the problem is with the fan or compressor and have it repaired as soon as possible.

  • Unusual noises

Noises such as banging or clunking that make the use of the AC unbearable are a sign that its repair is due. In most cases, the noises are due to parts that are broken because of regular wear and tear resulting in the need for AC replacements. The replacement parts may be large or small depending on the extent of damage in the air conditioning unit.
