Now that we\u2019re halfway through the cooling season, how would you rate your AC\u2019s performance? Keep in mind that there\u2019s no such thing as an \u201cA for effort\u201d when it comes to your AC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re disappointed in your AC\u2019s performance or even worse, worried that it might not make it through the rest of the summer without a breakdown or interruption in service, keep reading. Let\u2019s look at 4 tell-tale signs that you need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.covenantheatingandcooling.com\/air-conditioning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">air conditioning repair in Nashville, TN<\/a> sooner rather than later.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having AC problems quickly checked out by a professional HVAC technician is essential for 2 reasons. Not only does it help keep a minor issue from becoming a major problem, but it\u2019ll also guard against a complete breakdown in service.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Strange Sounds&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your AC should be fairly silent in its operation. So when it starts making a racket, you\u2019ll notice it right away. There are many noises your AC shouldn\u2019t make and they all usually indicate different things.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Noises such as bubbling or hissing usually mean that refrigerant is leaking somewhere in the system<\/li><li>Grinding, screeching, or the sound of metal on metal can mean a lack of lubrication between moving parts.<\/li><li>Banging and clanging could be a sign that a part as small as a screw or something as large as the blower fan has come loose and is banging against other components.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Lukewarm Air from the Vents or Low Airflow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes the airflow from your vents is strong, but it\u2019s lukewarm and not nearly as cold as it should be. Another common issue is when the airflow is cold, but it\u2019s diminished and not as strong as it used to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weak airflow is likely caused by the blower fan. This is the component of your AC system that\u2019s responsible for sending cooled air through the vents and into the rooms of your home. It could also be a dirty or clogged air filter. Check your air filter and replace it if it\u2019s dirty or hasn\u2019t been replaced this summer and see if that fixes the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. The AC Is Short Cycling&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Short cycling is noticeable because your AC seems to be running constantly but the temperature in your home isn\u2019t budging. Short cycling occurs when the AC turns on, runs for a short while, then shuts off again. Then keeps repeating this pattern multiple times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem could be caused by a dirty or clogged air filter, low refrigerant levels, or frozen evaporator coils. Give us a call ASAP so we can address this issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Ice on the Condenser<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice ice growing on any part of your air conditioner, this is a pretty serious problem that warrants a call for repairs. The first thing you should do is clean or replace the air filter. If that doesn\u2019t fix the problem, you could have a refrigerant leak.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Covenant Heating and Cooling is your trusted resource for AC repair in Nashville, TN.
