Lexington, SC in August isn’t just hot—it’s oppressive. As temperatures soar and humidity skyrockets, your air conditioner works overtime to keep you comfortable. But what if your system is struggling and you don’t even realize it?
At T & T HVAC, we believe in proactive comfort. Let’s look at five signs your HVAC system may be waving a white flag—and how you can fix issues before they turn into costly emergencies.
#1 Your Energy Bill Is Climbing
If your electric bill keeps climbing but your usage hasn’t changed, it could mean your AC is losing efficiency.
What might be causing it?
- Clogged filters or dirty coils
- Low refrigerant
- Leaky ducts
- Failing components like capacitors or blower motors
A quick tune-up from T & T HVAC can identify the issue and restore your system’s efficiency.
#2 It’s Running Nonstop (But You’re Still Not Comfortable)
Is your AC cycling constantly without ever really cooling the house? That’s a red flag.
Possible culprits include:
- Undersized unit
- Dirty coils
- Thermostat issues
- Air leaks or poor insulation
Let us test the system and airflow to get to the root of the issue—before the compressor gives out.
#3 Strange Sounds or Smells
Your HVAC should be heard, not smelled or squealing.
If you notice:
- Banging, grinding, or rattling
- Musty or burning odors
…it’s time to call us.
These symptoms could mean anything from a loose fan blade to a burnt-out wire or growing mold in your system. All of which can worsen if ignored.
#4 Uneven Cooling in Your Home
Hot upstairs? Freezing downstairs? Uneven temperatures are a sign of poor duct design, blocked vents, or a system that’s no longer up to the task.
Solutions we offer:
- Duct balancing
- Zoning system upgrades
- Mini-split installations for bonus rooms and garages
#5 Your System Is 12+ Years Old
If your unit is over a decade old, even if it’s “still running fine,” you could be missing out on serious energy savings and comfort.
Newer SEER2-rated systems are far more efficient and eligible for rebates and financing options.
We offer:
- Free replacement consultations
- Energy-efficient AC units
- Flexible financing
- Honest advice: no upselling, just what’s best for your home
