Air Conditioning Services

The frequency of ac unit servicing can depend on various factors, including the manufacturer's recommendations, the age of your system, usage patterns, and the environmental conditions in your area. As a general guideline, it is recommended to have your air conditioner serviced at least once a year. The best time to schedule a professional maintenance service is before the cooling season begins or before your system breaks down.

If your air conditioner is struggling to cool your space adequately or if there are noticeable temperature inconsistencies, it may indicate a problem with your system. Another sign is if you notice weak or limited airflow coming from your air conditioning vents, it could be a sign of blockages in the ductwork, a dirty or clogged air filter, or a malfunctioning blower motor.

Unusual or loud noises coming from your air conditioner, unpleasant odors when your air conditioner is running, a sudden increase in your energy bills, or water pooling around your air conditioner are sure signs that your cooling unit needs to be fixed or replaced.

While there are some basic air conditioning maintenance tasks that you can perform yourself, it is generally recommended to have a professional HVAC technician service your air conditioner. You can risk injury from lack of "DIY" technical knowledge, or void a warranty leaving you responsible for any repair costs. It's best to rely on the expertise of a qualified HVAC professional to ensure the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your equipment.

Your air conditioner may be making strange noises due to several reasons. It could be caused by a loose or worn-out component within the system, such as a fan blade or motor bearing, resulting in rattling or banging sounds. A refrigerant leak or low refrigerant levels can cause hissing or bubbling noises. A malfunctioning compressor or a faulty electrical connection can generate buzzing or humming sounds. Contact ELM HVAC for service if your ac unit is making strange sounds.
