It’s official, spring is here, and we all know what that means. The wonderful days of spring when nature returns to life will soon be followed by our hot and humid Virginia summer.

If you’ve had your AC regularly checked and serviced, it should last you around 15 years. Still, as with any other piece of equipment, parts can wear out and break, making it hard for your unit to keep up with the rising temperatures and keep you comfortable during the long summer that lies ahead.

As spring starts giving way to summer, here are 7 signs indicating you may need to call in the professionals for AC repair service.

Warm air coming out of the registers

When your unit comes on and you only have warm air coming out of the registers, first check your thermostat and your outdoor breaker. Make sure your filter is clean and the thermostat is turned to Cool, and then turn down the temperature a little. If you’re still not getting anything but warm air, you may need repair assistance.

Poor airflow

Reduced airflow may indicate nothing more serious than a dirty and clogged air filter that needs replacing. Or, it could indicate something more serious, like a broken motor. Changing the air filter is a DIY project for most of us, but if that does not correct the airflow problem, you need repair service.

Frequent On/Off cycling

Of course, your system is going to cycle on and off more frequently as the days get warmer, but if it’s constantly cycling, that indicates a problem somewhere in your system.

High humidity

Everyone living in this area of Virginia knows something about high humidity, and while we have to live with it outdoors, you don’t want to suffer from it inside your home. If your AC system is not keeping the humidity in your house at a comfortable level, you need repair assistance.

Water leaks

As it cycles, your AC is going to produce condensation, but water should not be pooling around your system. Left unchecked, that water can cause some pretty serious damage. So don’t delay. Call for repair assistance.

Strange, unusual noises

Any AC unit is going to make a certain amount of noise as it operates, but it shouldn’t be making any grinding, rattling, or buzzing noises. Those kinds of noises indicate there’s a problem somewhere that needs to be fixed.

Unusual odors

Your unit should not be emitting any strange odors. If it is, that may indicate a need for ductwork repair or some other indoor air quality service.
