Are You Ready for a New AC?


No one wants to sweat through the summer because their air conditioner doesn’t work properly (not to mention the fact that your energy bills will skyrocket when your AC has to work harder). You can try to survive the hottest days, but wouldn't getting an air conditioning replacement in Columbus, OH, be so much easier? 


Technically, your AC is still working, so how do you know if you need a new system? Watch for these warning signs, which will tell you whether it’s time to invest in a replacement.


Limited Airflow 

Little or no airflow is one of the most obvious signs that you need an air conditioning replacement in Columbus, OH. If you start the unit but it takes several minutes to start putting out cold air, there’s a good chance you’re overdue for an upgrade.

Abnormal Sounds 

Do you hear funny noises coming from your AC unit? Banging, grinding, or squealing is never due to “normal wear and tear.” Air conditioners are designed to make minimal noise while in use, so if yours sounds like a locomotive steaming through your home, it’s time to arrange an air conditioning replacement in Columbus, OH.


Unusual Smells 

Just as irregular sounds can indicate a problem, so can strange smells. AC units should distribute clean, neutral-smelling air that you hardly notice. You could have a significant issue if odd odors are wafting throughout your home. Smokey, burning smells in particular should receive immediate attention from a trained HVAC technician.


Moisture Buildup 

All air conditioners produce some moisture, and units that work correctly can handle small amounts. That said, moisture buildup or leakage near the appliance could indicate a refrigerant leak.


These leaks cause your system to work less efficiently and create a health risk for you and your family. Even if it’s just water gathering around the unit, it can become a breeding ground for illness-causing microorganisms.
