Signs Your Central AC Needs Repair

Recognizing the early signs of trouble can save you time, money, and a whole lot of discomfort during Charleston’s hot months. Common symptoms of a struggling AC system include:

• Inconsistent Cooling: If some rooms are too warm while others are too cold, you could be facing duct issues, sensor malfunctions, or low refrigerant levels.
• Unusual Noises: Grinding, buzzing, or banging sounds are often signs of loose components or internal wear. Ignoring them could lead to larger mechanical failures.
• Frequent Cycling: An AC that turns on and off too often may be overheating or misreading thermostat signals, both of which require immediate attention.
• Poor Humidity Control: Your AC should manage both temperature and humidity. If your home feels sticky or clammy, it might be time for a check-up.

Addressing these issues early helps prevent breakdowns and costly repairs. Our technicians use state-of-the-art diagnostics to get to the root of the problem quickly and restore your comfort.

How Upgrading Your Central AC Saves Money in the Long Run

While an AC upgrade might seem like a big investment upfront, it can lead to significant savings and increased comfort over time. Here’s how:

• Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Newer units offer higher SEER2 ratings, which translate to lower monthly utility bills and improved cooling performance.
• Fewer Repairs: A modern system means newer components and fewer breakdowns, reducing the frequency and cost of service calls.
• Long-Term Savings: Many of today’s AC units include variable-speed motors and smart thermostats, which optimize usage and reduce waste, paying off over time.
• Warranty Coverage: New installations often come with 10-year manufacturer warranties, providing peace of mind and reducing out-of-pocket expenses for parts and labor.

At 1st Choice A/C, Heating, Plumbing & Gas, LLC, we’ll walk you through your upgrade options, perform detailed load calculations, and recommend the best system for your home and budget.
