FOUR SIGNS YOUR AIR CONDITIONING NEEDS HELP
A summer without air conditioning means
you’ll be spending an inordinate amount
of time at bowling alleys or movie theaters.
But with a resource like Long Island Press
Home Pros, which is loaded with HVAC professionals,
you can easily troubleshoot any
AC issues and continue to stream Netflix in
the cool of your living room. Here are four
signs that your AC needs some TLC.
1. WARM AIR
On a hot day, warm air blowing out of
your cooling unit is cause for panic. Is
the thermostat switched to cooling mode?
Set it lower than your home’s current
temperature and if warm air is still
blowing, it might be a busted compressor.
Make that call.
2. INSUFFICIENT AIRFLOW
Often a sign that your air filter is clogged
or you’ve got a broken motor, this is the
most obvious sign that your AC unit isn’t
working correctly. To get proper airflow
you might consider trying an energy-recovery
ventilator, which exchanges stale
air with fresh air, or employ zoning
systems. Or better yet, call a heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)
professional.
3. WATER LEAKS
Whether it’s refrigerant or condensation,
the only liquids you want accumulating
in your home this summer are cocktails.
Pooled water or an active leak around
your air conditioner means you’ve got a
problem that’s really “not cool” — damage
to your home.
4. UNUSUAL NOISES
Rattling or buzzing noises suggest a
loose part and can be easily fixable. But
a whistling or grinding noise is different
and usually only gets worse. Time for a
professional tune-up.
