AC malfunctions often result in increased electricity usage. That’s why a higher-than-normal electric bill is often the first sign of an AC problem. Homeowners should at least monitor their usage by reviewing their monthly bills. For more accurate tracking, many smart thermostats feature energy monitoring and reporting capabilities. That would let you identify a spike in hours or days rather than weeks or months.
Homeowners should also pay attention to how their AC cycles. That way, you’ll know when the cycle is irregular. A typical AC cycle is 10 to 15 minutes. While it varies between homes, most systems will cycle on two or three times per hour. If your system runs only for short periods and turns on frequently, it’s experiencing short cycling. That could indicate overheating or another significant problem. If it runs for long periods, it may suggest a problem with the thermostat, refrigerant, or control board.
Uneven cooling is another common problem. The cause could be weak airflow due to a blower malfunction or air leaking out of the ducts. A clogged air filter can also cause low airflow. As a result, you may experience specific areas or entire rooms that feel warmer than the rest. You may also experience a temperature difference between floors. A difference greater than 1 degree is too much.
Also, don’t ignore any unusual smells or noises. Mustiness can indicate microbial growth on the evaporator coil. Rumbling could suggest a ductwork problem. Squealing or whistling may indicate that your blower requires lubrication or new ball bearings.
