Helping Your A/C Keep You Cool 

Throughout the summer months, your air conditioner may be the single most frequently-used appliance in your home. Running for hours per day every day of the week for months at a time can put a considerable amount of strain on your system’s various components, and it’s not uncommon for something to give out and cause your system to stop working as it should. At Pyramid Heating & Cooling, our job is to find what has gone wrong with your air conditioner and then fix the issue to get your air conditioner working again.

We fix all types of air conditioning issues, including:

  • Compressor issues
  • Refrigerant leaks
  • Inconsistent/fluctuating temperatures
  • Strange sounds or smells
  • Thermostat problems

What Are the Potential Risks of Ignoring AC Repair Needs?

Ignoring AC repair needs can lead to several potential risks, including:

  • Increased Energy Bills: A malfunctioning AC unit often works harder to cool your space, leading to higher energy consumption and increased utility bills.
  • Reduced Efficiency: Over time, neglecting repairs can cause your AC to lose efficiency, making it less effective at cooling your home.
  • System Breakdowns: Small issues can escalate into major problems, potentially leading to complete system failure and costly replacements.
  • Poor Air Quality: A faulty AC can circulate dust, allergens, and pollutants, negatively impacting indoor air quality and potentially causing health issues.
  • Increased Repair Costs: Delaying repairs can result in more extensive damage, leading to more expensive repair bills down the line.
  • Shortened Lifespan: Regular maintenance and timely repairs are crucial for extending the life of your AC unit. Ignoring issues can significantly reduce its lifespan.
  • Safety Hazards: Electrical issues or refrigerant leaks can pose safety risks, including fire hazards or exposure to harmful chemicals.

Addressing AC repair needs promptly can help avoid these risks and ensure your system operates safely and efficiently. 

Signs Your AC Needs Repair

1. Too much noise - All air conditioners make a little bit of noise. But if the noise is really loud, then something might have come loose. It's better to call in your Portland AC repair specialists before your problem gets worse.

2. Blowing warm air - If you're not getting cool air from your AC, then what is it for? This issue could be either because of a problem with your thermostat or a problem with your cooling.

3. Leaking unit - This could be a water line that's leaking, or it's possible that your AC is freezing over and the ice is melting. First, check that the air filter isn't too dirty. Otherwise, call in your Portland AC repair technicians because it's possible your evaporator coil needs a good cleaning.

4. Your utility bills are too high - If your AC is running all the time to keep your indoor environment cool, then you'll have to pay for all that extra work. Air conditioners usually cool for a period of time and then rest for a period of time. But if your unit isn't working at 100% then it will have to work double-time.

5. Smells that are off - If your smelling mildew or dust, you probably just need to clean your ducts. But if you ever get a burning smell coming from an AC unit, then there's an issue that needs a professional's attention.

Why Is My AC Running but Not Cooling?

A blocked air filter is the most likely cause of an AC running but not cooling. A clogged air filter restricts airflow, which causes the evaporator coil to freeze, reducing its ability to absorb heat from the air. It can also lead to restricted refrigerant flow and high head pressures, resulting in reduced cooling capacity. Regularly clean or replace your air filter to ensure your unit is functioning optimally.

Maximizing the Lifespan of Your AC Unit

The time your ac unit will last will be different for everyone, but in general you can expect your ac unit to last at least 10 years. When your unit hits this age, you should begin to consider replacing your unit for a more efficient one. To help maximize the life span of your ac, be sure to get regular maintenance and speak with a local HVAC company to see how they can assist.

Deciding Between AC Repair or Replacement

When an air conditioning unit breaks down, you're left with a couple of options. You could either go for AC repair or replacing the unit outright. Which you should opt for depends on a few factors, but while AC repair may seem like the cheaper option, replacement is better if any of the following apply.

  • Your AC is older than 10 years - How long an AC unit lasts depends on use, environment and maintenance levels. But if your unit is older than 10 years and it breaks down you should think twice before sinking more money into repairing a dying unit.
  • It requires R22 Freon - Because of the 2020 Freon Ban units that require this banned substance will become increasingly expensive to run as the coolant becomes more and more scarce, so it's time to consider replacement.
  • It needs repair after repair - While our Portland AC repair team will always be happy to come in and fix your unit, if they're over so often that you're getting to know them by name then replacement is going to be less expensive than the umpteenth repair call.
