How to Tell if Your AC is in Need of Emergency Repair

October 13, 2017

Your air conditioner is key to keeping you comfortable throughout the warmer Manassas days. If your system breaks down, it can really compromise your comfort! So, how can you determine when you could need an AC repair? Sometimes your air conditioner will display symptoms that it needs attention before it breaks down completely. Be on the lookout for any of the following symptoms and give Woody's Sudden Service Inc a call if you feel your AC is on the fritz.

If you see a lack of cooled air or decreased airflow, this is a definite sign that something is off. Give the team at Woody's Sudden Service Inc a call if your house doesn’t seem to cool down or if it won’t keep cool. When your AC can’t keep up with your cool-air needs any longer, there’s possibly a problem. Whether it’s running low on Freon, having problems with its condenser, or there’s an issue with your ductwork, we can help.

In general, if your air conditioner becomes noisy, there’s likely a problem that requires AC repair. If you hear squealing or grinding sounds, call us. You shouldn’t hear much from a properly working AC outside of the sound of your fan turning on or shutting off. AC problems that cause abnormal sounds imply a potential breakdown.

If your AC has a leak, contact us for an AC repair right away. A condensation leak poses less of a health risk, but it’s wise to get it repaired before you have a bigger problem, like mold growth.

Bad or strange odors coming from your registers are a sign that your system requires service.

If you feel you’re in need of an AC repair from any of these indicators, give Woody's Sudden Service Inc a call at 703-278-2036 and we’ll be there to help. If your AC is running as it should, but it’s behind schedule for a routine maintenance visit, we suggest you call to set one up. It could save you from pricey, larger repairs down the line. We look forward to helping you.
