Signs You Need An HVAC Repair Before It's Too Late
Your family relies on your home HVAC system to keep them cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Having an efficient HVAC system keeps you from overspending on energy and fuel bills. But, if you're experiencing any of the issues below, your system isn't as efficient. It needs an HVAC professional to look at it sooner rather than later.
Excess Indoor Humidity
One not-so-obvious sign of an HVAC malfunction is excess indoor humidity. As your cooling system works, it should remove that excess moisture from the air inside of your home. Extra humidity with no change in the weather is a sign that your system may not have enough refrigerant.
Excessive Dust
If you often find dust on the surfaces in your home, that could be a sign that your HVAC system is having problems. As your HVAC system pulls air in and out of your ventilation system, it will pick up dust and other particles. This dust can get trapped in your ducting and cover the internal components of your HVAC system. This excess dust will make it less effective. An HVAC professional can help to remove that excessive dust and get your system back to working.
Random Hot and Cold Spots
Another problem you may have with your HVAC system is uneven heating or cooling. In most cases, you'll notice that a certain room or many rooms in your home won't heat up or cool down. The good news is that an HVAC professional can fix these random hot and cold spots. There could be several culprits causing the issue. These include dirt and debris in your ducts, an inefficient HVAC system, and blocked air vents.
Thermostat Not Reading
While thermostats can last 10 years or more, they don't last forever. You may notice the temperature in your home feels different than what's on the thermostat. It's best to call in a licensed professional to get your thermostat repaired. In most cases, it's often a faulty thermostat or limit switch.
Skyrocketing Energy Bills
Even with proper HVAC maintenance, it's normal to have higher energy bills. This is common in the dead of winter and middle of summer due to higher system usage. But, you should never have skyrocketing energy bills out of nowhere. This can be a sign that there's a problem with your HVAC system that will need a professional repair.
Semi-Annual Maintenance is a Must
It's vital that your HVAC system has semi-annual maintenance to stay working. Schedule an HVAC professional to come in during the spring to assess your cooling system. You should also have them come in the early fall to inspect your heating system. With regular maintenance, you can reduce the risk of your HVAC system breaking down.
