There’s no worse time for an HVAC system to break down than in the middle of the summer. Some Jacksonville AC repair companies will automatically try to convince you that you need to replace your entire system but at Ocean State, our technicians do everything they can to salvage your system and save you money. However, there are some cases where a Jacksonville AC system is beyond saving so we wanted to share a few things to look out for when your air conditioning unit is on its last leg.

1) Your Jacksonville AC Unit Is Emitting A Bad Smell

Is there anything worse than being in an area that is not only too hot but smelly as well? If your AC unit starts emitting a bad smell (trust us, you’ll know) then it’s often indicative of mold or fungus corrupting your system. These growths will not only cause your system to fail, but they also spread harmful contaminants into the air that can harm you and your family. In addition to our savings on HVAC installation, we also offer seasonal discounts on the Aerus Air Scrubber to ensure you’re breathing in the freshest air possible in your home.

2) Your System is Extremely Noisy

Excessive noise from a Jacksonville air conditioner often means that it’s incredibly overworked. This can often be indicative of a problem that can be repaired but it also may mean that the entire motor of your system is completely shot.

3) Your System Is Working Very Slowly

We live in Jacksonville and the heat makes a slow system positively intolerable. If your Jacksonville air conditioning system is taking forever to blast cold air then it’s probably past its prime. This isn’t always the case and our NATE-certified technicians will do everything they can to provide the highest-quality AC repair on the First Coast so you don’t have to spring for a new system.

4) Increased Energy Bills

It’s an awful feeling to open your energy bill and see the number go through the roof. If your energy costs are abnormally high then it’s indicative of an overworked and malfunctioning system. The Jacksonville summers are especially intense and can wreak havoc on many AC systems so at the very least you should have a technician out to examine your unit. At Ocean State, we also offer maintenance plans that allow for twice annual service visits so you can keep your Jacksonville AC system humming all year.

5) Uneven Temperatures Throughout Your Home

Is your Jacksonville AC system cooling certain parts of your home while others are still far too hot? This could be indicative of poor air flow caused by clogged air ducts which can hurt the lifespan of your HVAC system.

6) Your System Is Just Too Old

We know you’ve probably grown attached to your old HVAC system but there inevitably comes a time when it has to be put out to pasture. Older systems simply stop functioning after a certain period of time and no repair can fix what Father Time has accomplished. If this is the case, then we’ll send a team to your house for a FREE estimate on a new system with financing options and special discounts to ease the pain of replacing an old friend.

While these signs don’t always mean that your system needs to be replaced, it’s certainly not a good sign. At Ocean State, we have a five-star Google rating and we’ve been repairing and replacing Jacksonville HVAC systems for nearly fifty years. Our technicians will diagnose the issue and offer a solution that will have you feeling cool and comfortable in no time!
