Problems With Your AC Last Summer? Signs You Need To Repair The Coils This Winter

Blog

Summer is still several months away. Because of that, you might think you've got some time before you need to worry about the AC. If your AC unit was giving you trouble last summer, now is the perfect time to get a head start on the repairs and maintenance.

One component you need to focus on is the coils. If you're like a lot of people, you don't pay much attention to the condenser coils. You should though. Damaged condenser coils can cause serious problems for your air conditioner. They can also cause problems for you. Read the list provided below. If you were dealing with any of these issues last summer, now's the time to have the AC condenser coils repaired. 

Your Cooled Air Smelled Musty

If your home smelled musty every time you ran the air conditioner last summer, call an HVAC repair company. There are a couple of reasons why the air could have smelled musty and moldy. First, there could be mold growing in the ducts. Cleaning will take care of those odors. Or, your condenser coils could be damaged. If that's the case, repairing the coils will eliminate the odor. 

Your Air Took Longer to Cool

If your home took longer to cool last summer, there's a good chance the condenser coils are damaged. Before air flows through the vents, it needs to go through the condenser coils. If the coils are damaged, air can't flow through. Before you're stuck with another hot summer inside your home, call an HVAC repair service. Repairing the condenser coils will restore cool air to your home. 

Your Home Felt Too Clammy

If your home felt moist and clammy last summer, there's a problem with the condenser. Take a look at the coils. If the coils are damaged, call for repairs right away. If the condenser coils are damaged, they can't remove heat and moisture from the air. Unfortunately, that means the heat and moisture will get sent through to your home. As a result, the air will feel clammy and sticky. Before you're stuck with another sticky summer inside your home, get the condenser coils repaired. 

Your Energy Bills Went Up

If your energy bills kept going up last summer, don't wait to call the HVAC repair service. Escalating summer cooling bills are a sign that there's something wrong with the air conditioner. Damaged condenser coils make your AC work harder to cool your home. The extra work adds extra costs to your cooling bills. Save money next summer. Take care of the condenser coil repairs this winter
