Your air conditioner works hard to keep your home cool and\ncomfortable during the hot summer months. Just like any other appliance in your\nhome, your air conditioner needs to be properly maintained to continue running\nefficiently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a few different things that you should be concerned about when running your air conditioner. First, you should clean or replace the air filter on a monthly basis. Second, you should have your air conditioner professionally serviced<\/a> at least once a year. For AC repair in Riverside CA, our team can inspect your system to provide maintenance or repair to ensure that your system is running at peak performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Here are the top 7 signs that your AC may need servicing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Your AC unit is more than 10 years old.<\/strong> The\nefficiency of AC units decreases with age. An older unit will use more energy\nto cool your home, leading to higher utility bills. Older AC units are more\nlikely to break down, increasing the likelihood you\u2019ll be without air\nconditioning during the hottest months of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The unit is not blowing cold air. <\/strong>If your air\nconditioner is blowing hot air, there could be several reasons why. It could be\nan issue with the thermostat, the compressor, or possibly a Freon leak. If you\nnotice that your AC unit is blowing hot air, you should call a professional to\ndiagnose the problem and make necessary repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. There is reduced airflow from your AC vents. <\/strong>One possibility is that the AC filter is dirty and needs to be replaced. Another possibility could be that the system has a leak in its ductwork that needs to be patched. An HVAC professional can help diagnose the problem and make repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Your energy bill keeps rising. <\/strong>An AC unit that is\nold or damaged requires more energy to keep the house cool. If there is a\nnoticeable rise in your energy bill month to month, it\u2019s likely that your air\nconditioner isn\u2019t cooling efficiently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Your system doesn\u2019t cycle on and off. <\/strong>If your AC system seems to always be running and never cycles off, it may be having trouble cooling the air properly. A professional HVAC technician can find the source of the problem and make necessary repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Your system is leaking water. <\/strong>If you notice your AC unit is leaking water, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the issue. First, check to see if the unit is properly draining its condensate pan. If the unit is draining properly, the water may be coming from ice on the evaporator coils that is melting in between cooling cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Your home is not cooling evenly. <\/strong>If you\u2019ve noticed\nthat some of the rooms in your home cool down more quickly than others, there\nmight be a clog in the ductwork or debris behind some of your vents. Cleaning\nvents may solve the issue, but if the problem persists, you may need to call\nfor service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you notice any of these issues, it\u2019s best to contact RKM Heating and Air Conditioning<\/a> today to schedule an appointment for your air conditioning repair. Done Right, Priced Right.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
