Signs Your Air Conditioner Needs Repairs
Detroit’s summers can get uncomfortably hot, with the average high temperature in July being 83 degrees F. To make sure your home can stay comfortable, it’s important to catch any issues with your AC as early as possible to help prevent total system breakdowns. Keep an eye out for the following signs and give our team a call for repairs if you notice any:
- Strange or loud noises: Some noise is expected when your AC is on but sounds like grinding, squealing, or rattling point to issues that need repair.
- Weak airflow or insufficient cooling: If your air conditioner is running but you feel like you’re barely getting air in your home, you may be dealing with a failing compressor or filter problems.
- Warm air: Your AC should be cooling your home, so if it’s spreading warm air instead, that’s a cause for concern. You may need repairs for a refrigerant leak or a faulty compressor.
- Short-cycling: If your AC is constantly turning on and back off quickly, this is a problem known as short-cycling. Our technicians can repair this issue.
- Bad odors: Musty or burning smells caused by your air conditioner should be inspected by a professional as soon as possible.

AC Repair FAQS
When should I replace an air conditioner instead of repairing it?
Deciding to repair or replace your AC comes down to multiple factors. Consider the cost of repairs against the age of your AC unit. Most air conditioners last around 10 to 15 years, so if your unit is 10+ years old and requires extensive repairs, a replacement may be more cost-effective. Our technicians can evaluate your air conditioner and provide useful recommendations.
How can I prevent AC problems?
The best way to prevent your air conditioner from needing repairs is to schedule professional AC maintenance. Annual air conditioner maintenance and tune-ups can help to keep your system in optimal shape and catch any problems early, before they worsen.
