AC Not Cooling Properly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If your AC is running but not cooling properly, the first step is to check the thermostat settings. Ensure the thermostat is set to &quot;cool&quot; mode and the temperature is set lower than the current room temperature. If the thermostat is working, the next step is to inspect the air filter. A dirty or clogged filter can restrict airflow and cause cooling problems, so replace it if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Another potential issue could be low refrigerant levels. This needs to be handled by a professional, as adding refrigerant requires specific skills. If you suspect an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/common-signs-of-an-ac-refrigerant-leak\/\">AC refrigerant leak<\/a>, scheduling maintenance with a St. Louis AC technician is the safest bet.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_AC_Not_Turning_On\"><\/span>2. AC Not Turning On<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If your AC fails to turn on at all, start by checking the circuit breaker. If it has tripped, try resetting it. If the circuit breaker trips again, there might be a more significant electrical issue that requires professional intervention.<\/p>\n<p>Next, examine the thermostat. If the screen is blank, the batteries might be dead. Replace the batteries and see if this resolves the issue. If the problem persists, there might be an issue with the thermostat itself or the wiring, which a technician should inspect.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tips-to-fix-common-ac-problems-2-300x198.jpg\" alt=\"Understanding Common AC Problems\" width=\"300\" height=\"198\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-15672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tips-to-fix-common-ac-problems-2-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/tips-to-fix-common-ac-problems-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Strange_Noises_Coming_from_the_AC\"><\/span>3. Strange Noises Coming from the AC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hearing unusual sounds from your AC can be alarming. Depending on the noise, different issues could be at play. For instance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Hissing<\/strong>: This could indicate a refrigerant leak or internal valve problems.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Banging\/Creaking<\/strong>: These sounds typically point to a loose or broken part inside the compressor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whistling\/Screeching<\/strong>: Sounds like these might be caused by a breach in the ductwork or a clogged filter. To address these noises, first turn off your AC to prevent further damage. Tighten any loose components you can safely access, such as screws on the grille.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If strange <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/hvac-noises-and-what-they-mean\/\">AC noises<\/a> or sounds continue, it&rsquo;s best to bring in a professional who can diagnose and fix the problem before it escalates.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_AC_Leaking_Water\"><\/span>4. AC Leaking Water<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Water leaks around your AC unit are a sign that something isn&#8217;t right. This could be due to a clogged condensate drain line, causing water to back up and overflow. Try using a wet\/dry vacuum to clear the clog.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, the issue might be dirty or frozen evaporator coils, leading to excess condensation. Clean the coils if they are dirty, and check the air filter. A dirty filter can restrict airflow, causing the coils to freeze and then thaw, which leads to leaks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Frequent_Cycling\"><\/span>5. Frequent Cycling<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If your AC is turning on and off frequently (also known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/what-is-ac-short-cycling\/\">AC short cycling<\/a>, it could be due to various reasons, including an oversized unit, low refrigerant, or a faulty thermostat. Start by ensuring your thermostat is functioning correctly and positioned away from direct sunlight or heat sources.<\/p>\n<p>You can also check the refrigerant levels, but remember, adjusting this yourself isn&rsquo;t recommended \u2013 call a professional. If you suspect your AC unit is too large for your home, consulting a Galmiche &amp; Sons HVAC expert can help determine whether a different unit size would be more efficient.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_AC_Emitting_Unpleasant_Odors\"><\/span>6. AC Emitting Unpleasant Odors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A musty odor usually signifies mold or mildew growth. To tackle this, clean or replace your air filter and inspect the evaporator coils and ducts for mold, cleaning them if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>A burning smell might be due to electrical issues or overheating components, which is a more serious problem. Turn off the AC immediately and contact an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/ask-an-hvac-technician\/\">HVAC technician<\/a> for an inspection.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_Galmiche_and_Sons_to_Fix_Your_AC_Problems\"><\/span>Contact Galmiche and Sons to Fix Your AC Problems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Understanding common AC problems and their solutions can save you time, money, and frustration.
