“Top 5 Signs Your A/C Won’t Survive the Summer Heat”

 

Hot humid weather is right around the corner here in New England! More than ever, we rely on our A/C units to keep us cool and the last thing we want is for them to give out. As a local and family owned business, listen to Landry’s top 5 signs that your A/C won’t survive the summer heat to save yourself from costly repairs and uncomfortable heat!

 

#1 How Long Have You Had It?

 

Air conditioning units only last for 10-15 years with the proper maintenance. If yours is approaching this age, or if there is any uncertainty when it was last replaced, it might be time for a new one. 

 

Need a replacement? “Just Call Landry” Our HVAC Experts are standing by to bring comfort to your home.

We install AC systems on a regular basis and  keep our technicians up to date on the most efficient A/C technology.

#2 Weak Airflow

 

If your A/C unit is blowing warm air and struggles to have strong airflow, it could be a sign of clogged filters or refrigerant issues. Before summer kicks into full gear, check for debris in the vents and try replacing the air filter.

#3 Unusual Noise

 

A well functioning A/C should run relatively quietly. If you start hearing weird noises like grinding, squealing, or banging – that’s a bad sign. It could signal a failing motor, electrical issues, or rust and debris inside.

#4 Weird Smells

 

If your A/C unit reeks of musty or burning smells, that might be a cry for help. Bad smells can be a result of mold or electrical issues inside of your unit. Burning smells can result from melting plastics and might end up in a fire. Don’t wait till it’s too late!

#5 Bills Breaking the Bank

 

Was your electricity bill high the last time you checked it? Your unit may be working harder to keep up than before. It might be less efficient from old age and debris inside. This is one tell-tale sign that you need to replace it.
