Schenectady’s Trusted AC Repair Service Team
Our team at Suburban Services Group can repair a range of air conditioner problems throughout Schenectady. The key is knowing when it’s time to call a technician. There are many signs that indicate an issue with your air conditioner.
Airflow issues are a common problem. Weak airflow can cause uneven temperatures throughout your home. Dirty air filters can restrict airflow into the system. Check the filter and change it if needed. Other causes that require professional repair include broken fans and blower motors. The unit may also blow warm air, which is the opposite of what you want from an air conditioner. Potential causes include frozen evaporator coils, a faulty compressor, or a refrigerant leak.
Another sign that you need ac service is short cycling. This is when the unit frequently turns on and off instead of completing a full cooling cycle. The cause may be dirty air filters, a faulty thermostat, frozen evaporator coils, poor wiring, or an oversized unit. Failure to address short cycling can lead to a damaged compressor, poor performance, and higher energy bills.
If you hear strange sounds, such as buzzing, rattling, squealing, or grinding, it’s time for air conditioner repair. These sounds indicate different issues, such as motor failure, a frozen unit, loose or broken parts, or a refrigerant leak. Our technicians can identify the cause of each sound. We can provide a solution before the underlying issue escalates.
Foul odors are another indication of an air conditioner problem. If you notice a musty smell, mold may be the culprit. A burning smell usually indicates a motor, electrical, or wiring issue. It’s crucial to take any unusual smell seriously. These smells are usually a warning sign of a bigger issue that requires immediate attention.
One of your air conditioner’s jobs is to remove humidity from your home. Excessive humidity in your home could indicate an underlying issue with your AC. Possible causes include dirty filters and coils, poor ventilation, frozen evaporator coils, duct leaks, and low refrigerant levels. Other causes include your thermostat fan settings, short cycling, and an oversized unit.
Call us if you notice leaks or pooling near the unit. The issue may be a clogged drain line or a refrigerant leak. Other possible causes include a damaged condensate pump or drain pan, frozen evaporator coils, and poor insulation.
