5 Signs Your Aircon Needs a Service
We all know how brutal the Aussie summer heat can get - and when those hot days hit, the last thing you want is your aircon conking out. A well-maintained air conditioner keeps your home cool and your family comfortable, but it also saves you money by running efficiently. So, how do you know when it’s time to book a service? Here are five telltale signs:
It’s Not Cooling Like It Used To
If your aircon is blowing warm air or just not keeping the house as cool as it once did, it’s a clear sign something’s up. It could be low refrigerant, a dirty filter, or something more serious.Strange Noises
A healthy aircon hums along quietly. If yours is making grinding, banging, or rattling sounds, it’s time to call in a professional. Unusual noises often mean parts are loose or worn out - and ignoring it can lead to costly repairs down the track.Unpleasant Smells
That musty or burnt smell coming from your unit? Not normal. Mould, bacteria, or electrical issues could be the culprit. A quick service can sort this out and improve your indoor air quality.Higher Power Bills
If your energy bill has suddenly spiked, your aircon might be working overtime to compensate for a problem. Regular servicing keeps it running efficiently, saving you dollars in the long run.Weak Airflow
If it feels like your aircon is barely pushing air out, you might have a blocked filter or a faulty fan. Weak airflow means your unit is working harder than it should, which can wear it out faster.
Don’t Wait for a Heatwave!
It’s always better to catch small issues before they turn into big (and expensive) ones. If you’ve noticed any of these signs, give us a shout at Boys Light Up Electrical. We’ll get your aircon running smoothly again - so you can stay cool when the heat hits.
