Although people think of the start of September as the start of fall, the summer doesn’t officially conclude until later in the month.

You don’t want to be trapped with an end-of-season emergency with your air conditioning system, or even a replacement.
Here are some ways you can reduce the strain on your AC at this time of year. If you do need help, please reach out to us for air conditioning repair in Baldwin County, AL.

We’re into the late summer now, and that means some of the most intense heat of the season. It’s also a time when we need to pay special attention to our air conditioning systems: they’ve already done plenty of work, and all that strain can add up to malfunctions or even a system breakdown.
But we want you to focus on your AC’s future right now, and the future of the comfort of home. Ask yourself how well your AC has done its job this summer and if you’ve noticed anything amiss. You may need to schedule service with our Baldwin County heating and air conditioning professionals to repair the unit. Or you may need to start considering having it replaced at the next convenient time.
What does your AC sound like when it runs normally during summer? You first hear the fan motor turn on, and then a deep whirring sound indicates the compressor is operating. The compressor puts refrigerant under pressure so it can start the process of pulling heat from the indoor air, which the blower then sends into the ductwork.
You can expect to hear the compressor running for 10–15 minutes, sometimes longer, to reach your desired cooler temperature. When your AC was installed, it was sized so that it would run in cooling cycles of about this length.
If you notice that your AC is running for much longer than 15 minutes, or even not shutting off at all unless you turn off the cooling mode from the thermostat, you have a potential problem on your hands. We’ll examine why this might happen, and whether it means you need to arrange for AC repair with our technicians.
The wonders of the central air conditioning system: with just an adjustment to your thermostat, you get cool air sent to all the rooms. The conditioned air from the indoor evaporator moves through the ductwork, pushed by a blower fan, until it creates an even spread throughout the house that makes even the hottest day of summer easy to sail through.
However, you may run into a problem with your central AC and discover that it isn’t evenly cooling the house the way you expect. There are various reasons for this to happen: some you can correct on your own, while others will require contacting our expert technicians for AC repair in Baldwin County. Follow along with us as we go over the most common reasons for this cooling calamity.
