5 Signs Your AC Needs Service Before Summer

Don't Get Caught in the Heat

Every summer, our phones light up with emergency AC calls from Twin Falls homeowners who ignored the warning signs for months. A little preventive attention in spring saves you the discomfort — and the premium emergency service rate.

1. Warm Air Blowing From Vents

If your thermostat is set to cool but you're getting room-temperature or warm air, the problem is usually a refrigerant leak, a failing compressor, or a dirty evaporator coil. Don't ignore it — running a stressed AC unit accelerates failure.

2. Weak Airflow

Poor airflow often points to a clogged air filter, blocked ductwork, or a failing blower motor. Start with the filter (change it if it's been more than 90 days), and if airflow doesn't improve, call us. Restricted airflow makes your system work harder and drives up your electric bill.

3. Unusual Sounds

Grinding means worn bearings in the motor. Banging means a loose or broken part inside the compressor. Hissing usually means a refrigerant leak. None of these sounds are normal — all of them warrant a service call before the unit fails completely.

4. High Humidity Inside

Your AC removes moisture from the air as it cools. If your home feels sticky or you see condensation on windows, your system isn't doing its job. This can signal a refrigerant issue or a drainage problem.

5. Unusually High Energy Bills

Compare your electric bill month-over-month. If it's spiking without a change in your usage habits, your AC is working harder than it should to maintain temperature — a classic efficiency warning sign.
