New York City’s home service experts offer troubleshooting tips to keep the air conditioning functioning efficiently all summer
The cooling experts at Petri Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Drain Cleaning, a family-owned home service company serving Brooklyn and Manhattan since 1906, emphasize the importance of recognizing the early warning signs of a failing AC unit to avoid being left without air conditioning during extreme heat waves.
Key Signs of AC Failure:
- Frequent cycling: This can indicate issues such as dirty filters, low refrigerant, or a faulty thermostat.
- Higher energy bills: If cooling efficiency decreases with rising costs, it may be due to refrigerant loss or airflow issues.
- Loud or unusual noises: Grinding or rattling sounds suggest worn parts or motor problems.
- Uneven temperatures: This could result from leaky ducts or inadequate system size.
- Age: Units over 10 years old might need replacement due to decreased efficiency.
Petri recommends annual inspections to maintain efficiency and prevent breakdowns during high temperatures.
