5 Signs Your AC Needs Servicing Before Summer Hits

With the intense heat approaching, a broken AC is the last thing you want to deal with. Regular maintenance not only keeps your home cool but also saves you from expensive emergency repairs.

Here are the top 5 signs it is time to call Pulse Company for an AC checkup:

1. Weak Airflow

If you turn on your AC and notice the air isn't blowing as strongly as it used to, you might have a failing compressor or blocked ducts.

2. Warm Air Blowing

This is the most obvious sign! If your thermostat is set to cool but the air feels warm, you might be low on refrigerant.

3. Strange Noises

Your AC should operate relatively quietly. If you hear:

  • Grinding: Motor bearings might be worn out.
  • Squealing: A belt might have slipped.
  • Banging: A part might be loose inside the compressor.

4. Unpleasant Odors

A musty smell usually indicates mold inside the unit or ductwork. A burning smell means you should turn off the unit immediately and call a professional.

5. High Electricity Bills

Has your electric bill suddenly spiked? An inefficient AC works twice as hard to cool your home, drawing much more power.
