AC Repair Service In Virginia Beach, VA

A timely AC repair restores the unit for summer cooling. It also prevents further degradation that would lead to a more expensive repair in the long run.

But how do you know if you need an air conditioner repair?

Galactic Air, Inc. created the following guidelines to help. But if you’re ever unsure, don’t be afraid to schedule an inspection with our team. Call us today to request service. 

Understanding Common Signs of AC Trouble

One of the more common signs of AC trouble is that it blows warm air instead of cool. 

Other signs of AC trouble include:

  • Leaks
  • Blowing foul-smelling air
  • Being stuck in short or long cycling modes

Call Galactic Air, Inc. when you suspect you need one of our premier AC repair services.

Visual and Audible Clues of AC Problems

ACs in distress provide various visual and audible clues. Visual clues include leaks, a shaking unit, or dirty filters. Audible clues include banging and humming or hissing.

Never ignore these signs. If you notice any of these problems, get an AC repair soon to keep your AC working and your home feeling fresh.

Signs of Refrigerant Issues in Your AC

Refrigerant issues commonly cause air conditioner problems. This liquid plays a massive role in the heat exchange process. That process produces the cool air that makes your house feel comfortable. 

When the refrigerant runs low, a refill is mandatory. Otherwise, the entire unit will suffer damage. Only professionals should handle refrigerants, though.

Symptoms of low refrigerant include hissing and coils covered in ice. You may also notice warm air coming from the vents. These problems mean you need to book an appointment for an AC repair with us soon.

Indicators of Electrical Issues

An AC that suddenly stops working can cause the worst summer panic. A circuit breaker can cause this. If this happens, flip the switch. But if that doesn’t help, you need an air conditioner repair.

When some ACs power up, the lights flicker. If the lights flicker the whole time the air is on, one of our technicians should inspect the compressor. Some other things that cause lights to flicker include:

  • A bad capacitor
  • Plugging several appliances into one outlet
  • A new unit that overwhelms old or storm-damaged wiring

If the AC gives off a burning smell, you see spikes in your utility bills, or your unit has decreased in energy efficiency, you likely have an electrical problem. 

Signing up for our regular maintenance service and scheduling AC repair is a great way to keep your wiring intact. 

Efficiency and Performance Decline

When an AC’s efficiency and performance decline, the AC won’t be able to cool your home. Most people notice this immediately because the onslaught of warm air directly affects their comfort. When any part of any AC needs repair, the system feels the strain. This leads to all-around inefficiency. 

The AC may run longer cycles. Sometimes this points to a dirty evaporator or condenser coil. Those coils have to be cleaned or the house will never cool.

Poorly installed ductwork also causes decline. The ducts will struggle to handle the workload. Eventually, the ducts will give out or the AC could be so old that it no longer works. An air conditioning repair is the only way to know which issue is causing your AC unit’s inefficiency. 

Without repairing your AC, this could negatively affect your sleep and if you or anyone else in the house battles allergies and other respiratory issues, an AC that hardly functions worsens those conditions.

It also raises the utility bill. If you care about saving money and lessening your carbon footprint, you will schedule an AC repair as soon as you notice the decline.
