Common Signs Your AC Unit Needs Repair
Recognizing the early signs that your air conditioning system needs repair can save you from costly breakdowns and ensure your business remains comfortable for employees and customers. Here are some common indicators that it’s time to schedule a service:
- Insufficient Cooling: If your air conditioner is running but not cooling the space as effectively as it used to, it may be a sign of a refrigerant leak, a failing compressor, or clogged filters.
- Unusual Noises: Grinding, squealing, or banging noises coming from your AC unit can indicate mechanical issues such as loose or damaged parts, which require immediate attention.
- Foul Odors: A musty or burning smell when your AC is running could be a sign of mold or electrical problems. It’s important to address these issues promptly to avoid further damage or health hazards.
- Frequent Cycling: If your system is turning on and off more frequently than usual, it could be struggling to maintain the set temperature due to an underlying issue, such as a malfunctioning thermostat or a dirty condenser coil.
- High Humidity Levels: An air conditioning system that isn’t removing humidity effectively may need repairs to its evaporator coil or refrigerant levels, as excessive moisture can lead to discomfort and mold growth.
- Rising Energy Bills: If your energy bills are unexpectedly high, your AC system could be working harder than necessary due to problems like dirty filters, low refrigerant, or worn-out components, indicating that a repair is needed.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to have a professional technician from Axxon Services inspect your system and perform any necessary repairs to keep it operating efficiently.

Frequently Asked Repair Questions
Operating commercial HVAC systems is a costly business expense, accounting for 40% to 60% of a building’s energy use! You can perform routine maintenance by checking all of the motors, belts, and steam traps as well as replacing your system’s filters, cleaning the coils, and inspecting the heater assembly.
We utilize a software program to determine proper equipment sizing. The software takes into account the number of people, building construction, location, building orientation, and peak loads for both heating and cooling.
It will depend largely on the size of your building, how many people work there, the type of filter you specify on maintenance, and what you do. In an ideal world, you would change a filter when it is full of things filters catch. You would need to measure the drop in pressure across the filter telling you it’s full with a monometer, however, most commercial air handlers are not equipped with these devices. So filters are typically scheduled to be changed when you’d anticipate they are full of dirt and other stuff filters catch.
This would be quarterly for standard “throwaway” media filters, although in high-traffic areas once or twice a month may be necessary. You may have to adjust this schedule if your filters get dirty faster. If you are using pleated high-efficiency filters MERV 7 or higher to improve indoor air quality, you might be able to go longer between changes. Your commercial HVAC Company should advise you for each system in your building as to the right schedule to maximize your investment in filter changes.
15 to 20 years, depending on the type of system, how well it has been maintained, and the operating conditions. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can extend the life of your HVAC system, allowing it to function efficiently for the full duration of its expected lifespan. However, as the system ages, it may become less efficient and more prone to breakdowns, signaling the need for replacement.
Determining whether you need a bigger A/C unit depends on several factors, including the size of your space, the climate, insulation, and the number of occupants. An A/C unit that is too small for your space will struggle to cool effectively, leading to higher energy bills and increased wear on the system. Alternatively, an oversized unit can lead to issues such as short cycling, which reduces efficiency and comfort. It’s best to consult with a professional HVAC technician who can assess your specific needs and recommend the appropriately sized unit to ensure optimal performance and energy efficiency.
While most AC issues can be remedied by repairs, at some point the need for replacement will arise. Some of the contributing factors for replacement services include:
- Age of the unit
- Need for consistent repairs
- Decreased energy efficiency
- Larger demands from the property
One of our experienced and knowledgeable AC professionals can work with you to determine the best course of action for your property. In some instances, repairs can be performed to remedy these issues. In other situations, the only solution will be to completely replace the unit.
We will work with your budget and needs to provide you with an efficient solution for your commercial property. Whether that means repairs or replacements, our experts are here to help.
