Signs Your Air Conditioner Needs Service

Even the most reliable air conditioning system will show signs of wear over time. Addressing these issues early can prevent major breakdowns and save you money on costly repairs.

Common signs include:

Warm or weak airflow: A clogged filter, failing compressor, or low refrigerant may be the cause.
Unusual noises: Grinding, banging, or squealing often indicate worn or loose components.
Frequent cycling: Short cycling can be caused by thermostat issues or dirty coils.
High humidity levels: Your AC should remove moisture from the air — if not, it needs service.
Rising energy bills: A sudden increase in utility costs often signals decreased system efficiency.
Uneven cooling: Hot and cold spots in your home may mean duct or system imbalances.

If you’re noticing these symptoms, it’s time to have your system checked by Bain Heating & Air Conditioning’s trusted team.
