When that happens, you&#8217;re going to need your air conditioner to work every day without fail. There&#8217;s nothing worse than experiencing a breakdown when temperatures and humidity are sky high, and while our repair team can move swiftly to correct any problems, we&#8217;d much rather stop them before they start. The sooner you can spot an issue with your air conditioner, the better.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Ideally, you should schedule an air conditioning maintenance session from a trained professional before the weather gets too hot. That lets the technician check for problems, correct the smaller ones and set up a repair session for any larger ones before they turn into a crisis. Ideally, you should set up such a session once or twice a year, at the beginning and end of cooling season.<\/p>\n<p>Barring that, however, you can still help your cause simply by turning your air conditioner on during the first warm day of the year and letting it run for 15-20 minutes while checking for signs of trouble. Anything out of the ordinary is usually reason enough to call in a repair service, but more specific signs can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Strange sounds<\/strong> that don&#8217;t match the normal sounds of your system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Short cycling,<\/strong> or turning on and off rapidly\u00a0throughout the day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Low air flow<\/strong> from one or more vents.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Warm air<\/strong>, or air that isn&#8217;t as cool as you&#8217;d expect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Spotting those signs lets you get them addressed well before cooling season starts, meaning you won&#8217;t have to worry about keeping your home comfortable once you really have need of your air conditioning system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>For quality <a href=\"\/air-conditioning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">AC servicing and repairs in the Lexington, MA area<\/a>, call on the friendly pros at Cooling Unlimited, Inc!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring is on its way, and while the weather is still very cool, it&#8217;s going to be hot and muggy soon enough. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[114,13,125],"class_list":["post-862","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-air-conditioning-service","tag-ac-service","tag-air-conditioning","tag-lexington"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=862"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":866,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/862\/revisions\/866"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.coolingunlimited.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
