If you ignore any warning signs that your system is struggling, you are only doing yourself a major disservice.<\/p>\n<p>The longer that you wait to have any air conditioning issues resolved by a trained professional, regardless of how &#8220;minor&#8221; you may believe the issue, the greater the likelihood of your system suffering real and costly damages. Read on to learn what a few of these warning signs look like, and then remember to call\u00a0us\u00a0for outstanding <a href=\"\/air-conditioning\">AC repairs<\/a>.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Loud or Unfamiliar Sounds<\/h3>\n<p>An\u00a0air conditioner does not operate in silence\u00a0like a\u00a0piece of space age technology. However, it shouldn&#8217;t\u00a0sound like a rocket ship taking off when it starts up or when it runs. If you begin to notice that your air conditioner sounds louder than usual, or is making new sounds when running (clanging, screeching, etc.), contact us right away.<\/p>\n<h3>Hot Spots<\/h3>\n<p>Ideally, your air conditioner should cool your entire home evenly and effectively. That is why hot spots popping up throughout your home are of a\u00a0concern. If your AC has never cooled your home evenly, it may just not be a good fit for your home. If it used to, though, and no longer does, it is likely in need of repairs. Ductwork may be leaking, you may have fan problems; whatever the situation is, you can count on us to resolve it.<\/p>\n<h3>Short-Cycling<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;ve mentioned short-cycling in our blogs before, but it is definitely an issue that bears repeating. If your system is short-cycling, the strain put on it can lead to further problems. We&#8217;ll figure out precisely what is causing your system to short-cycle, so that we can make the necessary repairs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Schedule your AC repairs in Alexandria, VA with\u00a0<\/strong><strong><span class=\"block full\">Polar Bear Air Conditioning &amp; Heating Inc.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nobody wants to entertain the notion that his or her air conditioning system is in serious trouble.
