Having an air conditioner can make a big difference in how comfortable your summer can be here in North Carolina. When the AC runs smoothly, it's something you don't even have to think about. There are some situations, though, that indicate issues may be affecting the performance of your air conditioner.
Signs to Look out For
Besides the obvious sign of your AC not turning on, there are a few clear indicators that your system needs repair. If it's blowing warm air or making loud noises during operation, it's a good idea to get it looked at by a professional. At Triad Sheet Metal Heating & Cooling, we're frequently asked to examine units for these reasons.
The less obvious signs could be:
- Unusual odors
- Poor air flow
- Uneven cooling
- More humidity in the home
- Water leaks near the air conditioner
- Higher than normal utility bills
You may notice some of these situations when the weather is very warm and you're really relying on your AC. In other cases, a noise here or there, some pooling water on the ground, or a scary electric bill might be alarming. Whatever it is, don't hesitate to reach out to us for professional assistance.
A Broken Thermostat
If the AC is either constantly running or not running enough, the problem may be tied to your thermostat. This gauge is supposed to send appropriate messages to the AC, and advanced technology in many thermostats means that the wiring can be complex. You can have Triad Sheet Metal Heating & Cooling take a look at your thermostat and repair anything that's not working properly.

All furnaces should be serviced and maintained regularly to make sure that they continue heating effectively and efficiently. If you want to lessen the chances of your furnace breaking down over the winter, you should always have your furnace professionally serviced every year. In this post, we're going to discuss why furnace maintenance is important and what it involves.
The Importance of Yearly Furnace Maintenance
Furnace maintenance is essential for your safety. It helps to prevent possible fire hazards and carbon monoxide leaks. The technician servicing your equipment will always check that everything is functioning properly to ensure the furnace will automatically shut down if it overheats or experiences a safety issue. Maintenance is also important for the life of your furnace, ensuring it lasts anywhere from 15 to 30 years. It can also save you money by lowering your heating costs and helping to avoid costly repairs later on.
What Does Furnace Maintenance Entail?
Maintaining a furnace involves inspecting, cleaning and testing all of your heating system's components on an annual basis. This includes the various components inside the furnace, as well as the blower and thermostat.
A technician will inspect your ductwork to ensure it isn't damaged or leaking air. Damaged ductwork will greatly increase your energy costs and make your heating system far less effective.
Cleaning the blower assembly, furnace burners and flame sensor are especially important for keeping the furnace heating effectively. This also provides reliability. Inspecting the heat exchanger and exhaust flue is also essential for ensuring the furnace is properly vented and preventing carbon monoxide leaks.
