Common Signs Your AC Needs Immediate Repair

If you’re asking yourself, “Why is my AC not cooling?” you’re not alone. Many Colorado Springs residents need AC system repair. Here are some examples of the most common signs that it’s time for air conditioning repair services:

AC not cooling: If your air conditioner is blowing warm air or if it’s constantly running without cooling the house enough, call Squeak’s. It could be due to restricted airflow, thermostat problems, or other issues.  

Loud/strange noises: If your AC is making loud noises when running, or you hear new squeaking, buzzing, rattling, grinding, or hissing, an HVAC tech needs to take a look. 

Frozen coils: If you see ice anywhere inside or on your air conditioner, call Squeak’s for frozen AC coil repair. It may be a refrigerant problem, airflow issues, or a broken fan. 

Short cycling: If your AC keeps turning off and on frequently without fully cooling your home, and you’ve recently changed the filter, you likely need short cycling repair for your air conditioning system. 

Water leaks: Water pooling inside or around your air conditioner may indicate a clogged drain line, damage to the drain pan, or other problems. Don’t let water damage your home – call us today.

Refrigerant leaks: Refrigerant leaks can be dangerous to your health and safety. If you suspect your AC is leaking refrigerant, turn the system off, ventilate the area, and call Squeak’s right away. 

High humidity: Many AC issues will cause your air conditioner to lose effectiveness, making it unable to remove humidity from your home. If your house feels humid even though the AC’s running, call our team to take a look.

Bad smells: Depending on what your AC smells like, a bad odor may indicate mold or mildew growth, a refrigerant leak, a dirty air filter, or even a dead animal in a vent. If your AC system smells bad, we’ll find the problem and take care of it quickly.

Thermostat problems: If your in-home temperature doesn’t match the thermostat reading, the AC isn’t turning on or off when it should, or if your AC’s cooling the home unevenly, these are signs of thermostat problems causing AC failure. Our HVAC techs are well-versed in all types of cooling systems, and they can fix or replace a malfunctioning thermostat quickly.

Deciding Between AC Repair or AC Replacement

When your air conditioner faces issues, you may wonder whether to repair or replace it. The decision depends on factors like the problem’s severity, the unit’s age, and repair costs.

Cost vs. Age Rule

If you multiply your unit’s age by the repair cost and the result exceeds $5,000, a new system might be a better investment. Similarly, if repair costs are more than half the price of a new unit, replacement is often the wiser choice.

Lifespan Consideration

Most air conditioners last 10–15 years with regular maintenance. If your unit is over seven years old and needs frequent fixes, upgrading to a modern system could save you money and hassle.

When to Choose Replacement

Consider replacing your AC in these scenarios:

  • The unit is nearing the end of its expected lifespan.
  • Repairs are frequent or costly.
  • The system relies on obsolete refrigerant.
  • The unit is not the right size for your home’s cooling needs.

Do I need a repair or a full AC replacement?

When deciding between repair and replacement, you’ll need to consider the severity of the issues, the system’s age, and repair costs. If the total cost of repairs, multiplied by its age, equals more than $5,000, it’s usually a better financial decision to replace the AC.

In most cases, yes. It’s safer to turn the AC off in case of hazards like a refrigerant leak or electrical issues.
