5 AC System Problems To Leave to the Professionals

Petrina Tebor • January 4, 2023

Your AC unit is just like any other piece of equipment, as it needs good maintenance to keep it running. However, sometimes problems come up that you just can’t solve by yourself without the proper knowledge. Here’s a look at some of the AC unit problems that you should leave to the professionals.

Leaking Liquid

If you notice any liquid leaking from your system, it’s time to call in a professional. Liquids appearing in the wrong places can damage your system and break it down completely. You want to head it off by calling in professionals if you ever see more liquid than simple condensation can explain.

Bad Compressor

A bad compressor can come about from many issues, such as dirty coils or bad lubrication. While this is a common issue, there’s no good fix you can do at home by yourself. It’s better to call in a professional that can repair or replace the part after inspecting the system.

Odd Noises

Your AC should always make the same noises when it’s in working order. Changes in the sounds it creates can indicate loose or broken parts that’ll damage your system. You’ll need a professional to come in and find out whatever’s making the noise, especially if it sounds like a rattling. Investigating on your own could lead to more damage.

Bad Smells

Bad smells can come from a variety of things, but the most common source is a dirty system that needs a thorough cleaning. However, the smell could also stem from a gas leak, which is potentially deadly. You should always call in an indoor air quality company to fix your system, as they have the proper protective equipment to conduct repairs safely.

Electrical Issues

Sometimes an AC unit will trip up your system and cause you problems by constantly throwing your breakers. There isn’t much you can do about this issue without proper knowledge regarding electrical wiring, which is why this is an AC system issue best left to the professionals.

If you discover any of these issues in your AC system, you should quickly call a professional. While the fix may seem simple, it’s best to leave these repairs to those who know how to perform them without putting themselves at risk or damaging the system further.

Aeroseal - what is it and how does it work

By Petrina Tebor • 16 Mar, 2023

Until the development of the Aeroseal duct sealing technology, there was no efficient or notable effective method of sealing remote leaks in HVAC ducts. In the past, we have crawled attics feeling and looking for leakage, but only if it was accessible. Aeroseal changed all that! We can now seal ductwork from the inside-out! With documentable results! Signs of duct leakage can include particularly hot or cold rooms, dark lines on the edges of carpets, temperature changes between floors, uncomfortable rooms due to different humidity levels, dirt streaks from supply diffusers or severe allergies when inside. Residential duct leakage is prevalent and a significant source of HVAC energy waste across the country. Aeroseal can help lower energy bills (on average, a homeowner can save between $300-$1000 or 5% to 30%) Aeroseal can reduce temperature variations between rooms and floors, reduce humidity in rooms and fix hot or cold rooms issues. Aeroseal can help improve indoor air quality by reducing pollutants, allergens and dust entering the air stream from wall cavities or attics. Call us today at (888) 707-7763 to find out how investing in your home by sealing ductwork leaks can return in energy savings and give you increased comfort in your home.
