AC SERVICE SOS: When to Call for AC Service

“We won’t leave you tapping your toe, waiting, and wondering when we’ll get there. We know that when your AC needs service, it needs it now! When you call on us, you’ll be greeted by our cheerful and knowledgeable staff that always has a pep in our step when it comes to serving you.”
~Brett Shannon, President Peppy Heating and Cooling

How to tell when your AC needs professional service. Our best advice is to stay on top of regular scheduled service so that your Air Conditioner can perform to its highest potential. Consider our Comfort Club as a convenient and cost-effective way to stay cool throughout our hot Boise summers.
Our next tip is to hire the right Cooling Contractor because a lot can go wrong in the hands of an inexperienced technician. We’ve heard and seen it all. Our technicians have top level training and certifications. We won’t make a “guess” as to the problem; rather we’ll do a thorough evaluation, make a recommendation and we will always provide options!

PAY ATTENTION TO THESE TELL-TALE SIGNS:

Your Air Conditioner is letting you know something is wrong when you have any of these issues. Don’t wait, call immediately and we’ll hop on it right away.

• Limited or No Airflow: If air isn’t flowing out of the vents or there is very little air coming out, it could be caused by a blockage in the ductwork or a malfunctioning blower motor. If you notice this issue, call us right away and we’ll hop on it.
• Strange Noises: Your air conditioning unit should never make loud or unusual noises. If you hear banging, grinding, or rattling sounds, it’s a sign that something is wrong with your AC system. Don’t ignore these sounds because they could be caused by a mechanical issue that could lead to a failure of your unit.
• Leaking Water: If you notice water leaking from your AC unit, it’s likely caused by a clogged condensate drain line or a refrigerant leak. This issue should be addressed immediately because water can cause damage to your walls, floors, and furniture. A refrigerant leak can also pose a health risk to you and your family.
• Unpleasant Smells: When your air conditioning system is working properly, it should not emit any strange odors. If you notice a musty or moldy smell, it could be a sign of mold growth in your ductwork. This issue needs to be addressed immediately because mold can cause health problems.
• High Energy Bills If you notice a sudden increase in your energy bills, it could be a sign that your AC unit is not running efficiently. An AC unit that is working harder to cool your home will consume more energy, resulting in higher bills.

Don’t wait until your AC system fails completely; act fast to keep your cool during the hot summer months in Boise and Nampa.

SHOULD I REPAIR OR REPLACE MY AIR CONDITIONER?

Of course, the best time to decide on replacing your Air Conditioner is before it breaks down. This gives you time to shop for the right cooling equipment, rather than being forced to rush into a decision.

Consider the age of your Air Conditioner: A basic rule of thumb is to consider the age of your Air Conditioner. If your AC is over 12 years old, it is probably a good time to replace it. While it is true that a 12-year-old Air Conditioner might still be functional, the likelihood that it is working efficiently is low in most cases. Air Conditioners have advanced dramatically, since the introduction of Ductless Air Conditioning, which is substantially higher in efficiency, meaning monthly savings on your utility bill. Additionally, you could qualify for rebates and incentives when you replace your Air Conditioner.

Consider the cost of the repair: Another consideration is how costly the repair is. If the repair is going to cost more than $600, it may be a good time to consider replacing your unit.
