Five Signs Your AC Needs Immediate Repair This Summer
1. Weak or No Cooling
If your AC is running but the room is still warm, it’s a clear sign something’s wrong. The issue could be low refrigerant, dirty filters, or even a faulty compressor.
:- Don’t ignore: Weak cooling is often the first symptom of a bigger problem.
2. Strange Noises
Buzzing, banging, or screeching sounds coming from your AC? These unusual noises may indicate a loose part, motor issue, or debris inside the unit.
:- Tip: Turn off the unit immediately and call for service to avoid further damage.
3. Water Leakage or Ice Formation
If you notice water dripping from your indoor unit or ice building up on the outdoor coils, your AC may have a clogged drain line or gas leak.
:- Leakage = Warning: Continuous dripping can damage walls and lead to mold.
4. Bad Smells or Burning Odor
A foul smell may be due to mold inside the unit, while a burning smell could be a serious electrical issue.
:- Health Risk Alert: Breathing in moldy air can cause allergies and respiratory issues.
5. High Electricity Bills
A sudden spike in your electricity bill with no extra usage means your AC is overworking. Poor efficiency = more power consumption.
Solution: Timely servicing improves performance and reduces energy cost.
How to protect your AC during Mumbai’s humid weather?”
Mumbai’s humid weather can strain your AC, but with a few simple steps, you can keep it running smoothly. Clean or replace filters regularly to maintain airflow, and use the “Dry Mode” to control excess moisture. Make sure there’s no water leakage and that the drainage pipe is clear. Seal windows and doors to keep humid air out, and avoid overcooling by setting the temperature between 24°C–26°C. Most importantly, schedule regular AC servicing—especially before and after monsoon—to ensure optimal performance and prevent unexpected breakdowns.
