Common Signs You Need AC Repair

Sometimes, a quick tune-up won’t cut it. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to call for AC repair:

  • Warm air blowing from vents: If your system is running but not cooling, that’s a red flag.

  • Unusual noises: Banging, clanking, or buzzing are signs of internal damage.

  • Constant cycling: If your unit turns on and off frequently, it could be a failing component.

  • Water leaks: Moisture around your system can indicate a clogged drain or refrigerant leak.

  • No airflow at all: A full system failure means it’s time for immediate service.

These issues won’t fix themselves—and ignoring them could turn a small fix into a major (and expensive) problem.

When AC Maintenance Is Enough

Regular air conditioner service keeps your system efficient and prevents wear and tear. If your system is running, but not as efficiently as you’d like, a tune-up may be all you need.

Maintenance is likely the answer if:

  • It’s been over 6–12 months since your last check-up

  • Your system still cools, but not as fast or evenly

  • You’re noticing higher-than-usual energy bills

  • You want to prevent costly future repairs

At J & J Heating and Air, our AC service includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant, tightening components, and making sure your system runs at peak performance.

The Cost Difference: Maintenance vs. Repair

AC maintenance is typically lower cost and scheduled in advance. Repairs, especially emergencies, tend to be more expensive due to parts and labor. That’s why we recommend regular service to catch issues before they become serious.
