As winter fades and warmer weather moves into Columbus, GA, now is the time to make sure your AC is ready for spring. Temperatures can rise quickly in Georgia, and the last thing you want is for your AC to fail on the first hot day. At Climate Control Heating & Air Conditioning, we help homeowners stay ahead of costly breakdowns. Here are seven signs it may be time to schedule service.
1. Your AC Is Blowing Warm Air
If your system is running but the air coming out feels warm, something isn’t working properly. It could be low refrigerant, dirty coils, or another issue that needs professional attention.
2. Weak Airflow
Poor airflow can mean a clogged filter, duct problem, or failing blower motor. Weak airflow makes your system work harder and raises your energy bills.
3. Strange Noises
Grinding, banging, or squealing sounds are never normal. These noises often point to loose or worn parts that should be repaired before they cause bigger damage.
4. Higher Energy Bills
If your power bill went up but your usage hasn’t changed, your AC may not be running efficiently. A tune-up can restore performance and help lower costs.
5. Bad Odors
Musty smells could mean mold in the system or ductwork. Burning smells may signal electrical problems. Both should be checked right away.
6. Short Cycling
If your AC turns on and off frequently, it may be overheating or struggling to maintain the right temperature. This adds wear and tear to the system.
7. It’s Been Over a Year Since Service
Even if your AC seems fine, annual maintenance is important. Regular inspections help catch small problems early and extend the life of your unit.
Spring is the perfect time to schedule maintenance before the Georgia heat arrives. Our trained technicians provide complete inspections, cleaning, and system checks to keep your home comfortable. Learn more about our professional HVAC services.
