Like other machinery systems, your AC system also indicates you some signals of a problem and you need to solve such problems at their initial stage. Here are some of the general indications that will help you to know that your AC needs attention and to be addressed at an earliest:

Lack/Weak Airflow - It is one of the first signs that you can notice in your air conditioner. In this case, you need to clean the drainage pipes, ducts and filters of your air conditioners, and you can consult an air conditioner repairs in this regard.

Strange/Odd Sounds - If you notice your air conditioner makes a grinding, squealing, or grating noise, then you need to call Air Conditioner repairs.

Apart from that, you can feel foul odors, leakage and dry air from your air conditioners. You need to go for an annual maintenance contract with a reliable air conditioner repairs in this regard. If your AC is under warranty or AMC (annual maintenance contract), then you can contact the service centre to repair your air conditioner. Air conditioners gather a considerable amount of dust and debris when it operates. Thus, the technician will first check to identify leakage from tubes or pipes inside the AC unit. While doing this, he/she will drain, remove dirt and debris, and clean the AC system to boost its performance. If it does not work, go for checking HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system. If it is observed that there is a need for a full HVAC system replacement, then it will take around three to four days.

How to know if the AC Compressor is in bad condition?

• You can check the compressor fan air by waving your hand. If the air coming from the fan is lukewarm, then the compressor is worn, which needs the attention of a professional Air condition repairs technician.

• You may keep an eye on your electric bill too. You need to pay higher power consumption bill for a faulty air conditioner and you can reduce your cost by hiring a professional air condition repairs.

In general, AC units last 10 to 12 years, and 12 to 15 years in the case of Central air conditioners. If an AC Unit runs more than the above threshold periods, then it should be replaced with newer one a. If it is the case that you do not have to pay for the compressor, but only the labor/ service is required, then you can opt for repair. But, if the compressor is not still under warranty, you may go for replacement.

Repair Cost

Air condition repairs technicians charge between $70 and $200 per hour on average. But, for more extensive AC repairs, such as replacing the evaporator coil, compressor, or condenser coil ranges from $500 to $2,000 on average. The condenser coil usually costs between $400 to $1,200, and HVAC servicing charges in the range of $50 to $150 per hour. In this case, you can ask for the quotes from different air condition repairs and compare their charges to choose an affordable one.

Most manufacturers recommend that the air conditioner repairs service once a year while some others say that as long as the user regularly clean the filters and units and follow the instructions, then only the user needs to have the air conditioner serviced if any fault develops.

Dust and dirt are the core enemies of any air conditioning or AC system as they cause over-heating of the AC unit. During repair and maintenance, the Air condition repairs technician cleans the dust and debris from the condenser coil and evaporator coil along with other vital components of the AC system.
