How to Know if Your AC Is Broken

As you use your cooling system, you’ll get to know your air conditioner better which will allow you to be able to stay on top of any issues. This will help you prevent breakdowns and avoid miserable summer days in the heat without a functioning AC. You’ll also learn how to recognize the telltale signs of a failing cooling system, which will indicate when it's time to call in a professional repair technician. 

Signs of Air Conditioner Problems:

• Your system is running constantly 
• Your AC is blowing warm air 
• You hear unusual noises when the system is running
• Your air conditioning unit is producing low airflow 
• You notice the system leaking water or refrigerant 
• Your home is experiencing uneven cooling or inconsistent temperatures
• You smell unpleasant musty or burning-like odors from your air conditioner
• Your home is more humid than normal
• Your thermostat struggles to maintain the set temperature

If you see any of the above signs of a failing air conditioner, don’t wait until it’s too late or until it becomes a larger problem. Often, repairs can resolve the problem quickly, but if left alone, these issues can result in a system breakdown. It's important to remember that you should always trust professional technicians to perform your AC repairs in Sacramento. Never try to repair refrigerant lines, electrical wiring , or other cooling issues yourself - instead give our team a call!

Why Is My AC Leaking Water? (It's Probably Cold Too)

This is a common AC problem that can usually be fixed with a new filter! Dirty air filters can block the air flow through your AC, so less air is hitting the evaporator coil. That's when the coils get cold, eventually freezing and producing excess water that fills the pan. If you see your AC is leaking water and feels cold, turn it off, change the filter, and turn it on again. Wait for it to cycle, and if it's still giving you trouble, give our techs a call at (916) 301-4315 for quick and communicative help. Be extra cautious with your air filters if you have pets, especially if you have more than one pet. 

If the ac still isn't working?

The last thing any homeowner wants is an air conditioner leaking water. And if the problem persists with a clean filter, there could be a few culprits, so we can help you figure out which one of these is causing your issue. 

• Clogged Drain Line: A common culprit is a clogged condensate drain line. Dirt and debris can block the line, causing water to back up and leak outside.
• Refrigerant Issues: Low refrigerant levels can lead to freezing coils. When they thaw, excess water drips outside.
• Incorrect Installation: Poor installation or improper sizing of the AC unit can result in drainage problems.
• Maintenance Needed: Regular maintenance by professionals like Big Mountain Heating & Air Conditioning can prevent and address these issues, ensuring your AC runs efficiently.

Strange Noises Coming From Your AC?

Air conditioners are a welcome respite during hot spells, but when they start emitting unusual noises, it can be quite unsettling. These sounds can range from minor inconveniences to indicators of potentially serious issues within your AC unit. Understanding the types of air conditioner noises and their underlying causes can help you address problems promptly and avoid further complications. 

Here are various types of air conditioner noises and their potential meanings:

• Banging or Clanking: Loose or damaged components, such as fan blades or motor mounts.
• Buzzing: Electrical problems, loose parts, or a failing compressor.
• Clicking: Thermostat issues, control problems, or a defective relay.
• Hissing: Refrigerant leaks, often coupled with decreased cooling efficiency.
• Rattling: Worn-out parts, such as screws, ductwork, or fan blades, which create a rattling noise.
• Squealing or Screeching: Belts, bearings, or motor problems causing high-pitched noises.
• Thumping: Unbalanced fan blades, motor problems, or debris interference.
• Whistling: Airflow restrictions like clogged filters or ductwork, leading to a whistling sound.

Identifying these sounds can assist in determining the root cause of the issue. Timely attention and professional evaluation are crucial to prevent further damage and ensure your AC system's optimal performance. Regular maintenance and early problem detection can save you from costly repairs and maintain a cool and peaceful environment.

Causes of Other Common AC Problems:

• Air filters that are clogged by dirt, dust, and other allergens
• Thermostats that are either faulty or incorrectly set 
• Condenser coils that are obstructed by dirt and debris
• Components that are worn, such as misaligned AC belts or damaged bearings
• Evaporator coils that are frozen 
• Air ducts that are damaged or disconnected leading to air leaks
• Compressors that are overheated or damaged
• Fans and motors that are malfunctioning 

Additionally, a lack of regular maintenance and general wear and tear from years of use can also contribute to AC problems. However, as mentioned previously, to best understand what is causing your air conditioner to stop working properly, it’s best to consult with a Sacramento air conditioner repair professional who can handle the inspection and necessary repair.
