While most summers in Vegas are brutal, this year seems especially so. With record breaking heatwaves, we don’t have the ability to function without an AC system to keep things manageable.

Bad Smell Coming from My Air Conditioner

If you smell something funky when you turn on your AC, it is hard to ignore it. There are certain smells that you shouldn’t ever turn a blind eye to as they can be dangerous. For instance, if you smell something burning when your unit turns on, it can mean that there are electrical issues that could turn into an electrical fire. If you smell mold and mildew when your air is on, there could be drainage issues that are causing mildew to and mold to grow which can cause health problems.

Frozen AC Coils

You shouldn’t see ice on your system when your AC in on either. This is always a sign that something is wrong.

Ice can do damage to your system when it is left and not fixed.

Do Your AC Units Make Your Electric Bill Go Up?

It’s always a good idea to keep an eye on your energy bills. You can tell a lot from these monthly bills, especially when it comes to your AC system. Most homeowners expect to spend more on energy during the summer because of the need to stay cool. However, you shouldn’t be spending more than is absolutely necessary. You can judge what you should be spending when you compare the current utility bill with your bill from last year at the same time. If you see that there is a big change, it can be a good indicator that there is a problem.
