Signs that Your AC Needs Repair
Recognizing the early signs that your air conditioner needs repair can save you from costly breakdowns and uncomfortable days. Here are some common indicators that it's time to call in the experts.
- Insufficient Cooling: If your AC isn't cooling your home as effectively as it used to, it might be struggling with a mechanical issue or low refrigerant levels.
- Unusual Noises: Strange sounds like grinding, squealing, or banging can indicate a problem with the motor or other internal components.
- Frequent Cycling: If your AC is turning on and off more frequently than usual, it could be a sign of an underlying issue that needs attention.

- Weak Airflow: Poor airflow from your vents can indicate a blockage, a failing compressor, or issues with the ductwork.
- Foul Odors: Unpleasant smells coming from your AC unit can be a sign of mold, mildew, or burnt-out wire insulation.

Is It Worth It to Repair an AC?
The normal lifespan for an air conditioning system is 10 to 15 years. Since a full system replacement can be costly, it’s typically more economical to repair a malfunctioning AC that is still within the first 10 years of its life. Continually spending money to fix a broken unit after this timeframe is often like trying to repair an older car – at some point, the repairs just aren’t worth it anymore.
Signs that indicate it may be time to replace an old air conditioner include:
- Your energy bill is continuing to increase
- The unit requires repairs two or more times a year
- It’s difficult to stay cool throughout the summer
- There is poor airflow coming from the unit
- The AC is making loud banging or squealing noises
- There are uneven temperatures throughout the home
- Repairing the system will cost more than half the price of a new model
At Accurate Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, we believe in doing what’s best for the customer. When we examine an air conditioning system, we will provide our honest advice about the best way to proceed. If a system can be repaired to an acceptable condition, then we’re not going to tell our customers they need to invest in a replacement. Conversely, if it’s time for an upgrade, we don’t keep recommending spending money on repairs.
