Typically, you&#8217;ll find concise topics about different AC problems or PSA posts about refrigerant and certain scientific facts about air conditioners. But often times that&#8217;s just not what customers are dealing with. Many people have problems with their air conditioners that they&#8217;re <em>not quite sure about<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is this strange sound an issue? Or perhaps you&#8217;ve got a problem with your home that is inhibiting your AC&#8217;s ability to provide you with cool air? The answer might be complex but it&#8217;s still diagnosable. That&#8217;s always the first step when you call us for <a href=\"\/air-conditioning\/ac-repair-maintenance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AC repair in Palm Bay, FL.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let&#8217;s take a journey into the mind of a struggling customer who might be dealing with an AC issue.

In fact, if you can hear anything other than the gentle &#8220;whirr&#8221; of the fan, then something is definitely wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Different sounds mean different things (you can check one of our other blogs for a more in-detail breakdown of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.completeairandheat.com\/blog\/air-conditioning-service\/hear-that-ac-needs-repair\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">what these noises signify<\/a>), but almost all of these problems require professional support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if your system is making a loud, uncomfortable, or new noise, then call our team and schedule repairs ASAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There&#8217;s a Bad Smell Coming From It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be a tricky problem to locate since customers sometimes assume the smell isn&#8217;t coming from their AC. In fact, the source of a &#8220;dirty sock smell&#8221; can originate in your air conditioner for the following reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the AC works, it also removes humidity from the air as a byproduct. This humidity is turned from a gas to a liquid and drips down the coils into a condensate drain. This drain is supposed to empty out but sometimes it can get clogged up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, mold can form in this condensate line and it can taint the smell of your AC&#8217;s conditioned air. Be sure to get this problem fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It&#8217;s Not Meeting the Thermostat Setting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Uh oh, this can be an obnoxious problem. But don&#8217;t fret, sometimes the issue is a simple fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go ahead and first change out your system&#8217;s air filter. This is one of the most common sources of problems in AC units since customers don&#8217;t know they&#8217;re supposed to change it regularly. Then, head on over to your thermostat and check it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, people might not have realized that the thermostat setting was changed. Or, your thermostat could be set to heating instead of cooling mode, which means your AC isn&#8217;t going to run at all! Make sure you switch this back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, if you still can&#8217;t fix it, your thermostat might be miscalibrated and that might require a professional appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Making families happy on the Space Coast since 1975.&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Schedule an appointment<\/a> today with Complete Air &amp; Heat, Inc.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ll break down the different types of air conditioning problems, and tell you why calling for professional help is usually the best choice of action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[39,99],"class_list":["post-948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-air-conditioning-service","tag-ac-repair","tag-palm-bay"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.completeairandheat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.completeairandheat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.completeairandheat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.completeairandheat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.completeairandheat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=948"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.completeairandheat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/948\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":951,"href":"https:\/\/www.completeairandheat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/948\/revisions\/951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.completeairandheat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.completeairandheat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.completeairandheat.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
