SIGNS YOUR AIRCON MIGHT BE ON THE WAY TO A BREAKDOWN

Air conditioning systems are essential for maintaining a comfortable environment in both homes and businesses. However, like any mechanical system, they are prone to wear and tear. Recognising the early signs of a failing system can save you from the inconvenience of a breakdown and costly AC repairs.

 

Here at Complete Cooling Services, we have put together this guide which provides insights into the warning signs of a faulty air con and the importance of timely fixing air conditioner issues.

SIGNS YOUR AIRCON MIGHT BE ON THE WAY TO A BREAKDOWN

Unusual Noises

One of the first indicators that your air conditioning system may be heading towards a breakdown is the emergence of unusual noises. Sounds like grinding, squealing, or rattling are not normal and often indicate that something is amiss within the unit. These noises could be due to loose parts, a failing motor, or other internal issues.

Inadequate Cooling or Heating

If your air conditioning system is struggling to maintain the set temperature, or if there is a noticeable decrease in its cooling or heating efficiency, it could be a sign of a problem. This issue can arise from a variety of causes, including refrigerant leaks, dirty coils, or a malfunctioning thermostat.

Increased Energy Bills

A sudden spike in your energy bills without a corresponding increase in usage can indicate that your air conditioning system is operating inefficiently. Faulty air con units have to work harder to maintain the desired temperature, leading to higher energy consumption.

Frequent Cycling

Frequent cycling or the air conditioner turning on and off more often than usual is a clear sign that your system needs attention. This could be due to an oversized unit, a malfunctioning thermostat, or other electrical issues.

Unpleasant Odours

Unpleasant odours emanating from your air conditioning unit can be a sign of mould or mildew growth within the system. This not only impacts the efficiency of your unit but can also pose health risks.

Water Leaks

While it's normal for your air conditioner to produce some condensation, water pooling around the unit is not. This could be a sign of a blocked drain line or a refrigerant leak, both of which require immediate attention.
