1. Blowing out Hot Air
   

   The most obvious sign that your AC isn’t working as it should is when it blows out hot air instead of cool air. This could be due to a broken compressor or refrigerant leak. Neither is impossible to fix, and it may cost less than you think, but you’ll need to address the problem before you can use your system.

2. Moisture Near Your AC System

   If you notice leaks or moisture around your AC system, it could be due to a blocked drain tube. Moisture and leaks don’t call for an air conditioning emergency, but your AC unit will need to be repaired as soon as possible to prevent mold growth or mildew smells.

3. Unusual Sounds

   You can usually hear your AC unit kick on, but if it starts to make a grinding, squealing, grating, ticking, or other unusual sounds, then you will need a repair service.

4. Unusual Smells

   Your AC unit should never put out unusual smells, if you do start to notice a strong, pungent smell, then the wire insulation in your AC system is burned and needs to be replaced. Other smells like mildew or must can indicate mold, which can pose health risks to your family.

5. High Humidity Levels

   Your air conditioner should lower the humidity levels in your home. When it’s not working properly, you may notice that the air in your home feels sticky or there are damp spots by your windows. 

   If you’re experiencing any of these AC issues, call Total Comfort today at (612)-662-6313.

If you’re wondering whether an air conditioning repair or replacement service is best for you, we often recommend a repair service when: 

• The problem is happening for the first time.
• Your system was recently installed or is less than 10 years old.
• The problem relates to the thermostat, ventilation, or other accessories.
• You’ve had AC maintenance within the past year.

An AC repair service is usually quicker, less expensive, and is needed more commonly than a full replacement. If you’re still not sure, get help deciding which service is best for you with one of our expert technicians. 

 

If Your AC Is Blowing Warm Air

1. You may have a tripped circuit breaker.  Check your home circuit breaker box and reset circuit breaker.
2. Your thermostat may be off or set incorrectly.  Check to make sure your thermostat/control is on and set to cool.  Reset your desired temperature.
3. Your indoor unit is running but the outdoor unit is not.  Air coming through your vent will be warm.  Check temperature setting on thermostat/control.  If no change, give us a call.  In the meantime, try turning off your thermostat/control for 1 to 3 hours to see if it will reset itself.

If No Airflow is Coming From the AC

1. You may have dirty filters.  Check the filters in each of your system’s components.  Clean or replace filters as recommended in your use and care guide.  If problem persists, please give us a call.
2. Your system may have frozen up due to a dirty coil.  Check for signs of water below unit and cold exterior surface of indoor coil enclosure.  If that doesn’t work, call us.  In the meantime, try turning your thermostat off for 1 to 3 hours to see if it will defrost.
