We still use heating systems to keep warm, but homeowners tend to focus much more on air conditioning. There’s little need for your AC at the moment, but that could change at any time – unexpected heat waves are hardly uncommon – and soon enough, you’ll be called upon to run it on a daily basis just to keep your home comfortable.

If there’s a problem with your system, now is a great time to contact a technician and get it repaired. This is one of the few times of the year that your air conditioner isn’t going to see much use, which might not be the case in as short as a few weeks.

Comparatively few repair issues start with the unexpected shutdown of the system. Indeed, such issues are easier to resolve than others because at least the shutdown alerts you to the fact that there’s a problem. Many other issues are quite subtle, however, and if you don’t know what to look for, you might be letting a problem grow worse and worse until the damage is extensive.

Most problems with your air conditioning system will begin advertising well before the damage is severe. And because we run our air conditioners so often in this part of the world, you’ll likely notice if your system doesn’t respond the way it normally does. Any abnormality, no matter how trivial, is grounds for shutting the system off and calling for a repair technician.

If you’re concerned about problems, but are uncertain, turn your system on and let it run for 15-20 minutes, looking for signs of trouble. Such signs can include, but are not limited to, the following:
