We often think an air conditioner is a device that simply cools the air. However, it does much more than that. When properly sized and with the correct accessories, your air conditioner precisely controls the temperature, humidity level and cleanliness of your indoor air which helps to create the perfect indoor environment.
At RSC, we have been designing, installing, servicing and maintaining air conditioning systems in Lancaster County and surrounding areas for decades. We can evaluate your home’s cooling needs and custom match the perfect air conditioner to provide the indoor comfort you have always desired.
Air Conditioning Repair
Although they are very reliable, there are times when air conditioner repair is needed to keep your system operational. Here are a few tell-tale signs to determine if your air conditioning needs to be repaired:
- Your home is not maintaining the thermostat set point.
- The home feels very muggy when the cooling is on.
- Reduced air flow from the registers.
- There is an unusual sound coming from the indoor or outdoor unit.
- Condensation on the floor surrounding the indoor unit.
- Visible ice build-up where the refrigerant lines tie into the indoor system.
- High energy bills.
There are many situations that would require a repair. If you experience any of the items listed above or anything that seems unusual, your best course of action is to call RSC at (717) 299-3914. We will dispatch one of our NATE Certified technicians to promptly and accurately diagnose your system’s problems and provide a no surprise price for repair. In most cases, air conditioning repair can be made during the initial service visit. We service and maintain all brands of air conditioning systems and are available 365 days per year.
Signs Your Air Conditioner Needs to Be Replaced
Here are some signs you may have a major issue and your AC unit might need to be replaced:
- Warm air blowing instead of cool air
- Little or no airflow
- Leaking or excess moisture around the unit
- Grinding or squeaking sounds
- Strange smells (i.e., burning or smoke)
- High utility bills
How Long Do Air Conditioning Units Last?
Air conditioners typically last 10 to 15 years, although well-maintained units can last longer. If your AC unit is over 10 years old and requires frequent or costly repairs, consider replacing it.
How Often Should Air Conditioning Units Be Serviced?
To extend the life of your air conditioning unit, you should have it serviced once a year. Most homeowners schedule AC maintenance in the spring and heating maintenance in the fall, at the beginning of the cooling and heating seasons, respectively.
