You likely know what the normal noises are that your air conditioner makes while it is running. Sounds like the whoosh of air through your ducts and even some movement from the ducts themselves when they expand or contract are all probably normal. But when your AC begins to create new sounds, then it may be time to pay closer attention.
A noisy AC may be a system that needs repairs. And if that is the case, the sooner a technician arrives to address the problem the better off things will be. But what sounds are we talking about? We are happy to tell you below so you know exactly when to call us for repairs.
As things start to warm up around here, it means that having a properly working air conditioner in your home is highly important. You don’t want your AC system running up your energy bills or working poorly on the hottest day of the year.
If you’ve run your air conditioner a few times already but started to notice that the system isn’t operating quite right, it is important to have it checked out. A need for air conditioner repair in Dublin that is already present will only get worse as the season progresses.
Reach out to us for repairs today if you notice any of the following indicators of trouble:
Any important home appliance will have several myths surrounding it, such as the old idea that putting ice cubes down a garbage disposal will sharpen the blades. Well, garbage disposals don’t have blades, and ice cubes can damage the disposal. Toss that idea in the trash and you’ll save yourself disposal grief.
Air conditions have their own body of lore, much of it false. Although some of these misunderstandings are harmless, others can lead to poor operation and wasted money. Below, we’ll debunk several major AC myths we encounter far too often.
As summer gets closer and closer, it becomes increasingly apparent that you need a good AC in your house to keep cool. Swelteringly hot and humid days in this part of Georgia often prove to be too much for window ACs to handle. And you shouldn’t have to spend your free time seeking out cool air outside of your home.

Let’s look at what your options are for your upcoming AC installation.
Here’s an odor you don’t want floating around inside your house: a moldy stench that smells like a pile of dirty socks. It seems to be coming from the air conditioning vents. What’s causing it and what can you do about it?
It won’t shock you to learn that what you’re experiencing is a common problem with air conditioners known as “dirty sock syndrome.” Yes, the people who named it knew exactly what they were talking about. No, nobody has tossed a bunch of dirty socks into your HVAC system (I mean, we don’t think so). But the odor is coming from the same source as smelly socks—bacteria from microbes. You’ve got a source of it in your AC, and we can probably guess what it is. Below we’ll talk more about how dirty sock syndrome happens in an air conditioner and what you can do about it.
In order for your air conditioning system to operate the way it is supposed to, it needs refrigerant. This substance is vital to the cooling process. That said, we’d like to address a common misconception about it: refrigerant does not get used up.
If your system is starting to lose refrigerant, it isn’t because the refrigerant is being used as a fuel would be. Your refrigerant runs within a closed-loop system. When the air conditioning system starts to lose refrigerant, it means that the AC has a leak. A leak in one of the refrigerant lines is something that requires prompt repairs. We’ll explain more about refrigerant leaks below.
One of the more common air conditioning system malfunctions that our technicians repair is refrigerant leaks. Leaks most frequently occur in AC systems older than five years. This is because the copper refrigerant lines may start to corrode after this period due to exposure to formaldehyde in the air. A small spot from formicary corrosion (a type of corrosion that affects copper) will allow pinhole leaks to start in the lines and allow refrigerant to escape.
This may sound like a minor problem. It’s not! Refrigerant leaks will put your air conditioning system in jeopardy of failure and the possible need to replace the entire AC. We’ll explain more about the danger of refrigerant leaks and how to know when it’s time to call us for air conditioning repair in Conyers, GA.
You can’t get water to the plumbing systems in your home without your pipes, and you can’t get comfortable air distributed throughout your home without your ductwork. Your ducts, like your piping, act as a necessary delivery system that ensures the cool air your AC creates gets to where it needs to go.
The only time this isn’t the case is when you have a ductless system—but that is a subject for a different blog!
If you have ductwork or any kind of ducted system, you will need to ensure that this system is in prime condition to keep your home comfortable. That’s why we want you to learn a bit more about our duct services in Dublin and how they can help your comfort.
If you’re currently looking for a new air conditioning installation in Conyers, GA to deal with the upcoming summer, we’re glad you’re asking a question like this. The size of an air conditioning system is one of the most important factors in choosing which AC to install. It’s not something you want to get wrong either. Go too big or too small, and you’ll have an air conditioner that doesn’t do what you need and will cost you far too much to do a bad job.
The good news is that you don’t have to make this choice yourself. It’s best to leave sizing a new AC to professionals like ours. Below we’ll get into why sizing an air conditioner is so important and how we find out the right size AC for a house.
We know what you might be thinking. The cooling season just started so would you seriously need an air conditioner repair in Dublin this early? The truth is that you might.
But this isn’t a reflection on you. Older systems and systems that see a lot of heavy use are just more likely to need repairs, even earlier in the season. Maintenance can reduce the risk of this, of course, but repairs will still pop up.
The key is not to ignore these early repairs. Taking care of them now is going to make the rest of the season far easier and more comfortable for you.
