Your air conditioner works hard to keep you cool — especially during Queensland’s hotter months. But like any machine, it needs regular maintenance to perform at its best. Ignoring early warning signs can lead to bigger problems (and higher repair costs) down the line. Here are five key signs that it’s time to schedule a service:
1. Weak or Warm Airflow
If your AC isn’t blowing cold air or the airflow feels weak, your system may be low on refrigerant or have a clogged filter. A professional check-up can quickly resolve this and restore cooling efficiency.
2. Unusual Noises or Vibrations
Rattling, buzzing, or grinding noises could indicate loose components, fan issues, or internal wear. These sounds are your system’s way of saying “please service me!”
3. Strange Odours
A musty or burnt smell coming from your vents might mean mould, dust build-up, or electrical problems. Servicing can clean and disinfect the system while addressing any safety concerns.
4. High Energy Bills
A sudden spike in your electricity usage? Your air conditioner might be working harder than it should due to dirty filters or worn-out parts. Regular servicing helps maintain energy efficiency.
5. Frequent Cycling On and Off
If your unit keeps turning on and off in short bursts, this could be a sign of thermostat issues or compressor trouble. Left unchecked, it can cause long-term damage.
