Everyone living in the Las Vegas Valley area knows the importance of a properly working HVAC system. After all, heatwaves are a way of life here. No Las Vegas home or business owner wants their HVAC unit to break down unexpectedly on a hot day. How do you know if your system is headed for trouble? Fortunately, there are several warning signs that an HVAC tune-up is necessary. Read on to learn more about how to identify when your unit needs HVAC maintenance.
Minimal or No Airflow
The most obvious sign of HVAC trouble is a non-existent or weak airflow. When this happens, you need professional HVAC maintenance to investigate and correct the problem. In most cases, the loss of cold airflow is caused by a blockage or failing compressor.
Escalating Energy Bills
Power companies typically put a comparison chart on bills that indicates power usage changes from last month and the previous year. Keeping a close eye on this information is a good way to determine when it’s time to get an HVAC tune-up. Keep in mind that extreme temperature fluctuations between the time periods in question can also cause your energy bills to skyrocket.
HVAC System Starts Making Odd Noises
An HVAC tune-up can help eliminate unusual noises emanating from the unit. A rattling sound or an increase in noisiness are often warning signs that something in the system has broken or come loose. Allowing this problem to remain unchecked could quickly lead to bigger repair bills or even a fire.
Additional signs to watch for include airflow that’s humid and lukewarm, a bad odor coming from the system and an inaccurate thermostat.
