Why Your AC Is Shutting Off and On Too Much

September 6th, 2021

Have you noticed something isn’t right with your air conditioner? It’s not that it isn’t running, or that you’re not receiving cooling from it. No, the trouble is that the AC has gotten jittery with how it turns on and off. You hear the compressor kick-on far more often than usual, and the AC never seems to run long enough no matter the indoor temperature. But the AC also never seems to stay off for long either. 

If you think this quick stop-and-start behavior is a problem, you’re correct. We’ll shed some light on what’s going on, why it’s going on, and how to stop it from going on.

Sounds Your Don’t Want to Hear From Your AC

August 23rd, 2021

Your AC has several ways to warn you something is not right. It doesn’t yet have the ability to self-diagnose its problem and provide a warning via the thermostat screen (the technology will get there eventually), but it has other options. One of the best is making strange or loud sounds. 

You know what an air conditioning system sounds like since you’ve spent plenty of time in homes and buildings with them. ACs generate a “white noise” of whirring motors and humming compressors with the occasional clicking sound at start-up and water dripping into the condensate pan. Anything that goes outside these boundaries, or the AC making more noise than usual, is a warning to call for air conditioning service in Bryant, AR. Technicians can investigate the sound and see what repairs will correct the problem. The sooner you have professionals on the job, the less expensive and expansive the repair is likely to be. 

To help you understand what you’re listening for, we’ve listed a few of the sounds you don’t want to hear coming from your AC, along with explanations of what they might mean.

You don’t normally want water leaking from any appliance or any part of your home. If you spot water starting to pool around the base of the indoor cabinet of your AC, you’re right to think that it’s abnormal. Your air conditioner creates water as part of how it operates—in fact, you can often hear the water dripping in it when it runs—but a central AC is designed to keep the water from getting into your house. When you notice water escaping from the AC, it’s usually a warning to call us for air conditioning repair in Conway, AR.
