It sucks out humidity, cools the air, traps dust in the air intake filter, and makes life bearable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t want it to break down on you, but how do you know when you need <a href=\"\/services\/air-conditioning\/ac-repair\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">air conditioner repair in Kentucky<\/a>? If you wait until it kicks the bucket, you\u2019ll be left without air conditioning for quite a while.<br><br>It\u2019s time to start listening to your AC <em>now<\/em> before it\u2019s too late. This is what you need to look (and listen) for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There\u2019s a Water Leak Near Your AC Cabinet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If water pools on the outside of your air conditioning cabinet, that\u2019s a really bad sign. Pooling water can produce greater pressure on the concrete slab below the cabinet, or it could leak inside and cause damage to electrical components. It can even make it harder for your cabinet to drain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should have a drainage line or tube that brings water <em>away <\/em>from your air conditioner. If it\u2019s just letting it all pool up in one place, then you\u2019re in trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Odd and Unsettling Sounds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your air conditioner makes noises, right? But you can usually tell when it\u2019s an \u201cI just started up, I\u2019ll get to work right away boss\u201d noise vs. an \u201cI haven\u2019t had my coffee yet\u201d kind of noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuous, loud sounds that persist even after your AC initially cycles are a bad sign. You shouldn\u2019t jump at every noise your air conditioner makes, but after having it in your home for so long, its normal operational noises have blended into the background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you stop and think, \u201cWhy did the AC make that noise?\u201d it\u2019s a sign that it\u2019s doing something abnormal. It broke the routine. Get it inspected and potentially repaired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Constant Short Cycling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your AC starts up, it goes through a cycle. This cycle includes the unit turning on and running for about 15-20 minutes. By that point, it satisfies the request from your thermostat, and your ideal temperature will have been reached. It won\u2019t stay that way, though, so the AC will turn on again a little later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your air conditioner turns on, then turns back off within a few minutes, it\u2019s only cycling for a short amount of time. Hence the name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Short cycles won\u2019t produce the effects you want. Your home will still be insufficiently cooled during short cycles. It\u2019s a precursor that your AC isn\u2019t doing so well, and needs immediate repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Wait Until it\u2019s Too Late<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your AC is the hero of your home, don\u2019t be its kryptonite. Look for the signs, make sure you\u2019re checking regularly, and call when it\u2019s clearly needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t delay until you\u2019re fanning yourself with a newspaper in the high 90s. Get ahead of the curve, and you\u2019ll stay in comfort all year long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/contact\/send-a-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Contact Air Supreme Heating and Air Conditioning today<\/strong><\/a><strong> to schedule AC repair before it\u2019s too late.
