At Malik Heating and Cooling, we help people stay cool and comfortable. In summer, your air conditioner works hard. It keeps your home or business cool. But sometimes, an AC starts to break down. You may not notice it right away. Small problems can grow into big ones fast. That is why you should know the top signs your AC needs help now. When your AC shows these signs, do not wait. You need to call Malik Heating and Cooling. We will come and fix it. We work fast. We make sure your AC runs right again.
AC Blows Warm Air
When you turn on the AC, you expect cold air. If warm air comes out, that is a big problem. Warm air means the AC is not cooling. This could mean there is a problem with the compressor. It could mean your system is low on refrigerant. If warm air blows, call Malik Heating and Cooling. Do not wait. The longer you wait, the worse the problem gets.
Weak Air Flow
Maybe your AC is cool, but the air flow is weak. The air barely comes out of the vents. This could mean there is a problem with the fan. It could mean there is a clog somewhere in the system. Weak air flow means your AC is working harder than it should. It uses more power. Your bills go up. Your rooms stay hot. Call Malik Heating and Cooling as soon as you notice weak air flow.
Strange Sounds
Your AC should not make loud sounds. It should run quietly. If you hear banging, grinding, or squealing, that is a bad sign. Strange sounds mean something is loose or broken. It could be a belt. It could be a motor. It could be a fan blade. Please don’t turn up the TV volume to cover the sound. Contact Malik Heating and Cooling immediately. We will find the problem. We will fix it before it gets worse.
Bad Smells
Your AC should never smell bad. If you smell something musty or burning, turn off the system. Musty smells mean mold may be growing in the unit. Burning smells mean a wire or motor may be too hot. Both smells are signs of danger. You need to get help fast. Malik Heating and Cooling can come to your home or business. We will find the cause of the smell. We will fix it so you can breathe easy again.
Water Leaks
Water should not drip from your AC. If you see puddles around your system, call for help. Your AC may have a blocked drain tube. It may have a frozen coil. It may be leaking refrigerant. Water leaks can damage your floors and walls. They can also mean bigger problems inside the AC. Malik Heating and Cooling can stop the leak. We can make sure your AC is safe again.
Ice on the AC Unit
You may look at your AC unit and see ice. That is not normal. Ice means your AC is working too hard. It may mean the coil is frozen. It may mean air flow is blocked. It may mean refrigerant is low. When you see ice, turn off the AC and call Malik Heating and Cooling. We will check everything. We will clear the ice and fix the cause.
AC Turns On and Off Too Fast
Your AC should run in steady cycles. It should cool, then rest, then cool again. If it keeps turning on and off fast, that is called short cycling. Short cycling wears out your AC. It uses more power. It does not cool your home right. This problem needs repair right away. Malik Heating and Cooling can help. We know how to stop short cycling and keep your AC healthy.
High Energy Bills
If your power bill goes up for no clear reason, your AC may be the cause. When an AC has a problem, it uses more power. Even small problems like dirty filters or clogged vents can cost you money. If your bills are higher than last year, call Malik Heating and Cooling. We will check your system. We will make it run better and save you money.
AC Does Not Respond
You press the button on your thermostat. Nothing happens. Your AC stays off. Or maybe it comes on but does not cool. This is a clear sign you need repair. The problem could be the thermostat. It could be the wiring. It could be the AC unit itself. Malik Heating and Cooling can check everything. We will find the problem. We will make sure your AC listens when you tell it what to do.
Old Age
If your AC is more than ten years old, problems can happen more often. Older AC units break down faster. They lose power. They do not cool as well. Even if your AC still runs, if it is old, it may be time for a check-up. Malik Heating and Cooling can look at your system. We can tell you if it needs a small repair or a full replacement.
Why You Should Not Wait
Many people wait too long to call for help. They hope the problem will go away. But it does not. It only gets worse. A small problem can turn into a big repair. Or even a full system breakdown.
