5 Signs Your HVAC System Needs Repair

Your heating and cooling system works hard to keep your home comfortable, but how do you know when it needs professional attention? Ignoring small issues can lead to costly repairs or even system failure. Here are five signs it’s time to call an expert.

1. Weak or Uneven Airflow

If some rooms in your home feel colder or hotter than others, your system might be struggling with a clogged filter, ductwork issues, or a failing blower motor.

2. Unusual Noises

Banging, grinding, or squealing sounds coming from your HVAC system aren’t normal. They could indicate loose components, a failing motor, or debris in the system.

3. Rising Energy Bills

A sudden spike in your energy bills without a change in usage could mean your system is working harder due to dirty coils, clogged filters, or aging components.

4. Frequent Cycling

If your system is turning on and off too frequently, it may be overheating, have a faulty thermostat, or need a refrigerant recharge.

5. Unpleasant Odors

A musty smell could mean mold in the ductwork, while a burning odor may indicate electrical problems. Don’t ignore these warning signs!
