5 Signs Your Air Conditioner Needs Service Before Summer
A small AC issue in May becomes a no-cool emergency in July. Watch for these five warning signs and book a tune-up before the heat arrives.
Air conditioners rarely fail without warning. Catching the early signs saves you from a sweaty breakdown on the hottest day of the year — and usually saves you money, too.
1. Weak or warm airflow
If the air coming from your vents is weak or not as cold as it used to be, you could have a refrigerant issue, a failing compressor, or a clogged filter.
2. Strange sounds or smells
Grinding, squealing, or a musty odour are all signs something needs attention before it gets worse.
3. Higher hydro bills
A system working harder than it should will show up on your bill. Efficiency loss is often the first symptom of a developing problem.
4. Short cycling
If your AC turns on and off frequently, it's straining components and wearing out faster.
5. It's been over a year since a tune-up
An annual maintenance visit catches small issues early, keeps your warranty valid, and extends the life of your system.
Spotting any of these? Book a tune-up with Brooks and head into summer with confidence.
