"A sudden HVAC system failure can be stressful, especially during extreme weather. Recognizing the signs of a major issue can help you take prompt action and prevent further damage. Here are key indicators to watch for:

  • Complete System Shutdown: If your heating or cooling system stops working entirely, it's a clear sign of a potential failure.
  • Strange Noises: Loud banging, grinding, or hissing sounds can indicate mechanical problems or refrigerant leaks.
  • Foul Odors: Burning smells or unusual odors may signal electrical issues or overheating components.
  • Water Leaks: Excessive moisture or water pooling around your HVAC unit could be a sign of a refrigerant leak or drainage problem.
  • Sudden Increase in Energy Bills: A significant spike in your energy consumption without a change in usage could indicate an inefficient or failing system.
  • No Airflow or Weak Airflow: If you feel no air coming from your vents, or if the airflow is very weak, that is a serious problem.
  • What to Do:

    If you notice any of these signs, it's crucial to take immediate action.

    1. Turn off the System: If possible, switch off your HVAC system to prevent further damage.
    2. Contact a Professional: Call a qualified HVAC-R technician for emergency repair services.
    3. Ensure Safety: If you suspect a gas leak or electrical issue, evacuate the area and contact your gas or electric company.
