Early Signs Your AC Needs Testing

1. Weak or Warm Airflow

If your AC delivers weak airflow or air that doesn’t feel cool, it may point to issues such as clogged filters, ductwork restrictions, or diminishing compressor performance. During an Annual Inspection, our team will evaluate your airflow and determine any underlying causes requiring attention.

2. Strange Noises Coming from the Unit

Unusual sounds—like grinding, squealing, banging, or buzzing—often signal internal issues such as loose components, failing belts, or motor strain. Our Jacksonville technicians pinpoint these irregularities early to avoid more serious damage.

3. Rising Energy Bills

If your energy usage balloons without increased cooling demands, your AC may be losing efficiency—a symptom of dirty coils, refrigerant leaks, or aging components. Our inspection process includes checking and cleaning critical components to restore efficiency and lower costs.

4. Frequent or Short Cycling

Your system should cycle on/off periodically to maintain temp. If it starts short-cycling or turns on/off too frequently, there may be issues with the thermostat, refrigerant levels, or mechanical wear. These are precisely the kinds of problems uncovered during our thorough annual inspections.

5. Strange Smells from Vents

Unpleasant odors—musty or burning—can indicate mold growth, electrical faults, or dirty components. Our Jacksonville team inspects safety devices, filters, and internal parts to pinpoint and remediate these hazards.

What Our Annual Inspection Includes

At David Taylor Air, our Annual Inspections go beyond quick check-ups. Our Jacksonville technicians methodically perform:

• Detailed system check: reviewing components for wear and integrity
  
  

• Thorough cleaning: condensers, coils, filters, and drain pans
  
  

• Safety evaluations: verifying surge protectors, safety controls, and mechanical reliability
  
  

• Maintenance advice: tailored, expert recommendations to optimize performance and efficiency.
  
  

These steps help maintain air quality, extend system life, and avoid energy waste.
