We place such a great deal of reliance on our air conditioning system. This is especially the case when you live in a climate such as that which Jacksonville, FL has. Think of those very hot summer months of July and August. The heat and the humidity make it almost too much to even go outside for a walk at times in the dead of the day. You need to proactively care for your air conditioning system so that it can get the attention that it deserves and continue to function at a high level. That is the reason why you invested in the system in the first place. There are times though when your air conditioning system can begin to show signs of age or wear and tear. When this occurs, you need to reach out to a Jacksonville AC repair professional.
There are some tried and true signs that you should be on the lookout for when it comes to your air conditioning system. A central air conditioning system is not something that you are probably going to pay that much attention to day-to-day. You expect it to work, pump the cool air that you need, and do what is necessary to keep the house cool. As long as your home is cool you may not give it any further thought than that. There are some things to be on the lookout for though so that you can avoid major issues and have a Jacksonville AC repair professional like us take care of minor things proactively.
Air Is Not as Cool
One of the first signs that you should be reaching out to a Jacksonville AC repair professional is that the air that is coming out of the system is not as cool as it used to be. You expect that the air coming out of your air conditioning system is going to have a certain temperature to it. This is going to be one that is cool enough to take all of the air in your home and make it that much more comfortable. As an air conditioning system starts to break down what you may find is that the air is not as cool anymore. This is when you should be taking action.
Air Flow is Diminishing
Airflow is also very important. Do you think that you are getting the same airflow from your system today as you did when it was initially installed? If the answer to the question is no, you may need to take action. It may be something as simple as cleaning out the air ducts or a sign of a much bigger problem, but it is certainly something that you will need to address.
Cycling On and Off More Frequently
Air conditioning systems are going to cycle on and off when they work to get your home to its desired temperature. Some systems are going to do this more frequently though when they begin to suffer from performance issues. This could be a sign of trouble with the wiring, thermometer, or something else.
Functioning of the System Halts
This one may seem obvious, but it is still worth pointing out. If you find that your air conditioning system is not kicking on and just not working the way that you would expect it to, that is when you need to reach out to us at J&W Heating and Air + Plumbing immediately. The quicker that we can get to the system and begin to diagnose it the easier it will be to fix the problem.
Excessive Noise
Pay attention to the noise level coming from the air conditioning system as well. When you have excessive noise coming from the system it could be a sign that some of the components are starting to break down. Taking care of these minor issues early can help you avoid bigger repair bills later on.
We at J&W Heating and Air + Plumbing can help you with your air conditioning system. Whether that is by coming out and doing a tune-up or actually doing a full repair of the system, we have the expertise and the knowledge to be able to diagnose a problem, come up with a plan to correct it, and execute that plan. Being aware of your system and its needs can go a long way to keeping your air conditioning system functioning the way you want when you need it most in Jacksonville, FL.
