Maybe you&#8217;ve discovered some rooms are cooling down as they always have, but there are some hot spots. You may have ductwork damage, a refrigerant leak, a faulty compressor, or even a problem with the blower motor or fans.<\/p>\n<h2>Unusual AC Noises You Shouldn&#8217;t Ignore<\/h2>\n<p>There is no such thing as a quiet air conditioner! Of course, there are high-efficiency systems on the market today that make for a much quieter experience. But you&#8217;re always going to hear the fans starting up and the whoosh of hot air exiting your home and cool air coming in. What you\u00a0<em>shouldn&#8217;t\u00a0<\/em>hear, however, is anything outside of the normal hums and beeps of your AC and its thermostat.<\/p>\n<p>This can include screeching, grinding, hissing, or clanging. You might have something like worn motor bearings\u2014this is a natural part of wear and tear but still requires professional help. You could have something more serious, like a refrigerant leak or loose component. Whatever the case, it&#8217;s time to give our team a call. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn more about<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltechservicesinc.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/these-sounds-mean-trouble-for-your-ac\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AC noises that mean trouble<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and why you shouldn\u2019t ignore them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What Odd AC Odors Could Mean<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Air conditioners\u00a0are designed\u00a0to cycle clean air into your home. Any smell coming from the AC unit could indicate a pest infestation, mold, or damaged insulation. All these things can be harmful to you, so it is best to address them early.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Troubleshooting a Slow Thermostat Response<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are times when you set your thermostat to a certain temperature; however, your ambient temperature is higher. In this case, you should call\u00a0our pros to see what&#8217;s going on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Signs of Moisture or Leaks in Your AC System<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An AC system might leak due to a broken condensate drain or overflowing condensate pan, causing the moisture to spread through its various components and in your house. Since\u00a0air conditioners are meant to stay dry, and moisture leads to mildew growth and causes parts to rust, you should tend to this quickly by giving our team a call.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We also briefly mentioned refrigerant leaks. Refrigerant is something that should never leave your AC system. If it does, the leak needs to be repaired and the refrigerant recharged (refilled). Without the right charge of refrigerant, you could find yourself facing compressor damage and maybe even find yourself facing premature system replacement. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this becomes a recurring issue, it might be time to evaluate whether<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltechservicesinc.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/the-refrigerant-misconception-could-a-new-ac-system-be-a-better-investment\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a new AC system is a better investment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Contact <a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AllTech Services, Inc.<\/a> today for quality\u00a0AC repair in Woodbridge, VA<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s important that you be aware of the signs of an air conditioner in disrepair, so you can give us a call when those signs pop up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[39,215],"class_list":["post-1358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-air-conditioning-service","tag-ac-repair","tag-woodbridge"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alltechservicesinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alltechservicesinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alltechservicesinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alltechservicesinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alltechservicesinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1358"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.alltechservicesinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1358\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2003,"href":"https:\/\/www.alltechservicesinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1358\/revisions\/2003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.alltechservicesinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alltechservicesinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.alltechservicesinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
