Our Crown Comfort Club is the easiest path toward the regular maintenance that will keep your AC in top shape for the season, so if you haven\u2019t arranged for your annual appointment, sign up for the club to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there\u2019s no way we prevent <em>all<\/em> air conditioning\nmalfunctions, and the best way to mitigate problems and prevent major air conditioning\nsystem failures is to watch for the early indications of AC trouble. Air\nconditioners may not come with complex computer diagnostics that will tell you\nexactly when something is going wrong, but they do give off warnings when\ntrouble is starting. Below are the common signs to look for that will help you\nknow it\u2019s time to call for our technicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unusual noises\/loud operation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Is your air conditioning system starting to become a noise\npolluter? Or you\u2019re hearing sounds from it that you aren\u2019t used to hearing?\nThese odd sounds can include rattling, clanging, mechanical shrieking,\ngrinding, or hissing. Sometimes the problem may just be the door to the cabinet\nis loose. But in most situations, loud noises or strange sounds warrant calling\na technician to investigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ice on the AC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ice is <em>not <\/em>a normal occurrence for an air\nconditioner, although people often make the mistake of thinking it is. When you\nsee frost developing over the evaporator coil of the air conditioner, it means\nthe coil is failing to absorb sufficient heat, which could be the fault of a\nnumber of different issues. You\u2019ll want this solved ASAP, since it may indicate\nthere\u2019s a danger to the compressor from leaking refrigerant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rapid on-off cycling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An air conditioner\u2019s cooling cycle is supposed to last for\nat least 15 minutes before it cycles down. When the AC is turning off and on\nover a shorter period of time, it\u2019s called <em>short-cycling<\/em> and indicates\nan AC malfunction that could be due to compressor issues, a faulty thermostat,\nventilation trouble, or even an incorrectly installed system. Because\nshort-cycling places heavy amounts of stress on the air conditioner, it will\nsoon create more problems, so please have this looked at as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An unexplained rise in bills<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost any air conditioning issue will result in the system\ndraining more power to work, and this will cause your utility bills to rise. If\nyour air conditioner is costing more to run than you expect it to, have our\ntechnicians run a diagnostic to see what may be wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Uneven cooling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If parts of your house are keeping cool as you expect, but\nother rooms aren\u2019t, then it may be an early warning that the AC is starting to\nlose its capacity to cool the house. Don\u2019t just \u201ctolerate\u201d a few warm\nrooms\u2014have the problem investigated to head off losing cooling for all the\nrooms!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Crown Group Ohio offers emergency service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. <\/strong><a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\"><strong>Call us when you need air conditioning repair.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Air conditioners may not come with complex computer diagnostics that will tell you exactly when something is wrong, but they do give off warnings. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[91,90],"class_list":["post-432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-air-conditioning-service","tag-air-conditioning-system-repair","tag-akron"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crowngroupohio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crowngroupohio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crowngroupohio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crowngroupohio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crowngroupohio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=432"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.crowngroupohio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":436,"href":"https:\/\/www.crowngroupohio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/432\/revisions\/436"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crowngroupohio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crowngroupohio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crowngroupohio.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
