With all of the constant use your Inland Empire air conditioning system is still likely to see over the course of the spring and summer months, the chances that something could go wrong with your system and leave you in need of professional repairs is very real for most local homeowners. While it might not be overly difficult to tell when your system is in need of repairs, many homeowners out there second-guess themselves or just write off the warning signs of a potentially serious problem as a trick of their imagination. In an effort to help you cut through the uncertainty and gain a better understanding of the warning signs that might indicate your home’s air conditioning system is in need of professional repairs, our team of Inland Empire air conditioning contractors has taken the time to put together this short list that we hope will shed a little bit of light on the situation.

No Cool Air

If you notice that there doesn’t seem to be any cool air actually coming from your home’s AC vents, or the air just doesn’t feel as cool as you remember it being before, this could likely be the sign of a fairly serious issue with your system. A lack of cool air coming from your vents can be indicative of a number of different issues. Whether it is due to your Freon levels being too low, or a sign that your compressor has failed, you are going to want to have a professional come out and take a look in order to get to the bottom of the issue.

Poor Air Flow

If you notice that the airflow coming from your vents seems to be weaker than usual, or some rooms of your home are getting cool air while others aren’t, there could be a number of different causes, and with each one, you’re going to want to have a professional come out and take a look right away. Weak or inconsistent air flow throughout your home could be due to a failing compressor, or even damaged ductwork, and regardless of which cause is the root of the issue, you’re going to want to have it corrected as quickly as possible in order to restore comfort to your home.

Strange Noises

While all air conditioning systems make a bit of noise while in use if you notice that your system is being louder than usual, or has begun to make strange noises, like squealing, grinding, or grating, it could be a sign that your unit is due for replacement. Failing to address these issues in a timely manner could easily lead to a total system breakdown, in which event you and your family would be stuck in a house without air conditioning at all until a professional could get out and take care of the issue.
