SIGNS YOUR AC MAY BE MALFUNCTIONING
-
Blowing Warm Air – The system runs but doesn’t cool properly.
-
Weak or No Airflow – Limited air coming from vents could indicate a clogged filter, duct issues, or blower problems.
-
Frequent Cycling – The AC turns on and off too often, which may signal thermostat or compressor issues.
-
Unusual Noises – Grinding, banging, buzzing, or screeching sounds can indicate mechanical problems.
-
Bad Odors – Musty smells may suggest mold in the ducts, while burning odors could indicate electrical issues.
-
High Humidity Indoors – If the AC isn’t removing moisture effectively, it may need servicing.
-
Leaking or Excess Moisture – Water pooling around the unit could mean a clogged drain line or refrigerant leak.
-
Rising Energy Bills – A sudden spike in energy costs may indicate an inefficient or overworking AC.
-
Frozen Coils – Ice buildup on the evaporator coils can prevent proper cooling.
-
AC Won’t Turn On – If the system doesn’t start, there may be an issue with the thermostat, power supply, or internal components.
Living in Mohave County, Arizona, having a reliable air conditioner is vital for a comfortable indoor environment, especially during the hot summer months.

If your air conditioner has stopped working, it may be time to seek emergency service.
THINGS TO CHECK BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
-
Check the Thermostat – Ensure it's set to “cool” and the temperature is lower than the current room temperature. Replace the batteries if needed.
-
Inspect the Air Filter – A clogged or dirty filter can restrict airflow and reduce cooling efficiency. Replace if dirty.
-
Verify the Power Supply – Check if the AC unit is plugged in, the breaker hasn’t tripped, and the disconnect switch is on.
-
Examine the Circuit Breaker – If the breaker has tripped, reset it once; if it trips again, call a professional.
-
Inspect the Air Vents – Make sure supply and return vents aren’t blocked by furniture, curtains, or debris.
-
Check the Outdoor Unit – Ensure the condenser is free of dirt, leaves, or obstructions that can restrict airflow.
-
Look for Ice Buildup – Ice on the evaporator coil or refrigerant lines could indicate restricted airflow or low refrigerant levels.
-
Listen for Unusual Noises – Rattling, buzzing, or clicking noises may point to loose parts, motor issues, or electrical problems.
-
Test Different Settings – Try setting the fan to “on” instead of “auto” to see if air blows, even if it’s not cool.
-
Inspect the Drain Line – A clogged condensate drain can cause water leaks and system malfunctions.
-
Feel for Airflow – Weak airflow from vents could indicate a fan issue, duct blockage, or filter problem.
-
Check for Error Codes – If your AC unit has a digital display, look for error codes and refer to the owner’s manual.
-
If these steps don’t resolve the issue or you notice burning smells, electrical sparks, or refrigerant leaks, turn off the system and call a professional immediately.
