Bluffton AC Repair Services

Maximizing Your Comfort Since 1999

There is really only one thing that is not hospitable about our beloved Bluffton – the humid, sometimes stifling weather. During the summer, the temperature can reach scorching highs in the 90s, which actually feel more like in the 100s due to the sticky humidity. The most valuable object to homeowners during these burning days and melting nights is a powerful, smooth-running air conditioning unit, providing sweet, cool air twenty-four hours a day.

Signs Your AC is in Need of Repairs

The sooner you catch an issue with your air conditioner, the quicker – and potentially cheaper – the repairs can be. Many issues with your unit become steadily worse over time, so it's best to get them fix early on to prevent further damage from occurring. Some issues, like blowing warm air are easy to identify. Some other things to look out for include:

• Strange noises: If you ever notice banging, buzzing, grinding, or other noises you're not used to hearing when your air conditioner is running, there's a good chance that a part is either broken or close to it.
• Strange smells: This is most common the first time you turn on your AC for the year, and is typically caused by microbial growths or mold. If you notice any strange smell, especially burning coming from your unit, give us a call ASAP to take care of it.
• Increasing utility bills: Over time, your air conditioner's internal parts will steadily wear down, decreasing its energy efficiency. Give us a call to schedule a tune-up to keep your unit in top condition.
• Leaking water or other liquids: Your AC should never drip or leak inside – there's a chance that this could be leaking coolant, which can be a serious hazard to your health.
• Lack of airflow: If your AC isn't blowing air as hard as it should be, there's a good chance you have a blockage somewhere in the system.
• Hot air: Hot air should never blow out of your air conditioner. To troubleshoot the issue, first check the thermostat to ensure it’s set at the correct temperature. Next, ensure the thermostat is set to cooling mode and turn the thermostat down a few degrees. If your AC still can’t seem to produce cool air, a professional repair is necessary.
• Uneven cooling: Your AC is designed to cool your entire home, not just spots throughout the house. However, as time goes on, various factors such as clogged filters and the age of the AC can result in uneven cooling.
