With warmer weather coming, it\u2019s important to take a look at your air conditioning unit to make sure you don\u2019t need to make any repairs or replace it entirely. That last thing anyone wants is for their AC unit to go out on a hot, summer day. If you are unsure whether it might be time to start looking at a new one, here are some common signs that your AC unit is on its way out.<\/span>
\n

Limited Air Flow<\/b><\/h2>
\nWhen you turn your air conditioner on, you want it to run, and you want it to be cold. If it\u2019s not doing its job, then that\u2019s a problem. If you have already had your ducts cleaned out and it\u2019s still not running cold, it might be time to replace it.<\/span>
\n

Moisture Buildup<\/b><\/h2>
\nIf you look at your unit and you notice a buildup of moisture or water leaking out of it, you could have a refrigerant leak. This could potentially be a serious problem, and if it\u2019s not taken care of, it could lead to mold beginning to grow around the unit and even around your house.<\/span>
\n

Unusual Sounds<\/b><\/h2>
\nIf your AC is beginning to squeak, chatter, or grind, it may be time to upgrade your system. AC units often make some sounds, but if you hear anything out of the ordinary, that is a sign of trouble.<\/span>
\n

Bad Smells<\/b><\/h2>
\nA bad smell coming from your vents is never a good sign. AC units should be putting out fresh air, and if you are smelling a smoky or burning smell instead, it is likely that you have a problem on your hands.<\/span>
\n

Higher Bills<\/b><\/h2>
\nIf your energy bills have gotten more expensive, it could be a sign that your HVAC system is working overtime to get the job done. Often, when these systems are beginning to shut down, they try to make up for their loss by over working. This, in turn, causes them to never turn off, which will cause your energy bill to increase significantly.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
