AC repair or AC replacement? That may be the question, at least right now as the fall starts and you take stock of how your air conditioning system did over the summer. 

When an air conditioner approaches the end of its service life, it becomes tempting to continue to repair it so it can keep working for as long as possible. Sometimes, this is the right choice. Other times, it’s far more economical to invest in replacing the unit, even though it requires a larger investment.

We’re going to look into the “repair vs. replace” AC debate to help you know when it’s best to invest in air conditioning replacement or air conditioning repair in Wakulla County.

Although people think of the start of September as the start of fall, the summer doesn’t officially conclude until later in the month. The summer heat certainly doesn’t automatically shut off just because the calendar flipped over a 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.

Hot Spots in the House: What They Mean for the AC

Monday, September 9th, 2024
thermometers-high-and-low

The greatest benefit of having a central air conditioning system for your home is that you receive cooling in all the rooms connected to the ductwork. If you have the right AC and ductwork in good condition, you can expect an even spread of cooling around the rooms. There may be a few fluctuations, such as in rooms that get more sun exposure, but overall the comfort level should be equal.

But if you start to notice hot spots around the house where there weren’t any before—it could mean something is wrong with the air conditioner or another part of the HVAC system, like the thermostat or the ductwork. We’re going to look at what those hot spots might mean for your HVAC in Crestview.

Could the Thermostat Be Behind Your AC Troubles?

Monday, August 26th, 2024

The thermostat is a device people often take for granted in their homes. You make adjustments to it when your cooling needs change in the summer, but if it’s programmable you may simply set it and forget it. There’s nothing wrong with that: it’s one of the benefits of having a programmable thermostat in the first place. 

Overlooking the thermostat can be a problem if the thermostat is responsible for a malfunctioning air conditioning system. When you’ve got a faulty AC that’s not turning on, turns on and off too often, runs for too long, or fails to keep the house as cool as you want it, you may need AC repair that specifically targets the thermostat—or even replaces it.

How can a faulty thermostat create AC problems? Follow along below and we’ll explain.

My AC Shuts Down Early! What’s Wrong?

Monday, August 26th, 2024
air-conditioning-repair-technician

How long should your AC run? As long as necessary to reach the temperature you set on the thermostat. In most cases that will take from 15 to 20 minutes. You’ll get used to how your AC runs through cooling cycles through the summer, hearing the hum of the compressor periodically as it kicks on to start cooling your home.

If your AC’s regular pattern of cooling cycles changes so that the unit keeps shutting down early after less than 10 minutes, and then turns back on again a short time later, you’ve got a problem. This situation is called short cycling, and there are several possible causes. No matter the cause, short cycling on its own will wear down your AC unit and waste power. 

Below we will examine some of the common causes of short-cycling to help you know when it’s time to call the Peaden Pros for AC repair in Pensacola.
