Overheating AC? Here’s What Could Be Wrong

Summer heat can be tough on your air conditioning. When temperatures soar, the last thing you want is an AC that’s not cooling your home properly. If your AC unit starts overheating, it could signal a few issues that need quick attention. At Brown’s Heating & Cooling, we’re your local experts for air conditioning repair in Colorado Springs. We believe in getting the job done right and we’re here to help!

Common Causes of AC Overheating

Low Airflow: One of the top reasons an AC might overheat is restricted airflow. When air filters or vents get clogged with dirt and debris, your AC has to work harder. This extra effort can cause it to overheat. Scheduling regular maintenance can keep these components clean and your unit running smoothly.

Inefficient Cooling System: Older AC units don’t run as efficiently as newer models. If your AC is past its prime, consider upgrading. Our team specializes in installing high SEER AC units that operate more efficiently and save you money on energy bills.

Refrigerant Issues: If your AC doesn’t have enough refrigerant, it has to work overtime, which can lead to overheating. This is a job for licensed technicians, and we have the right team to handle it. We check your refrigerant levels and make adjustments as needed.

Signs Your AC is Overheating

Strange Sounds and Smells: If you hear buzzing or smell something burning, your AC might be telling you it’s overheating. These are signs you shouldn’t ignore. Turning off your unit and calling professionals like us can prevent further damage.

High Utility Bills: An overheating AC uses more energy. If your energy bills are climbing, it might be time to check your AC. We offer energy-efficient air conditioners that keep your bills low and your home cool.

System Shuts Off Frequently: Modern ACs have safety features that shut down the unit if it overheats. This prevents damage, but it also means your home gets hot quickly. If this happens, it’s time to call us. We can diagnose the issue and get your AC running again.
