Short answer? Before it quits on the hottest day of the year.
You wouldn’t shop for an umbrella in the middle of a downpour—and the same logic applies to your air conditioner. Waiting until your AC breaks down during a 102° Texas summer means longer wait times, emergency fees, and major discomfort.
Scheduling an AC repair in Austin before things heat up? Now that’s smart homeownership.
Signs Your AC Might Be Headed for Trouble
Your air conditioner doesn’t have to completely shut down to signal something’s wrong. Often, it sends out warning signs first—some subtle, some not-so-subtle. Here’s what to watch for:
- Musty or mildew-like smells
- Banging, buzzing, or other strange noises
- AC cycling on and off constantly
- Rooms that stay warm no matter the setting
- Reduced airflow or hot air blowing from vents
These issues are often symptoms of deeper problems. A quick inspection from a Radiant HVAC technician can help catch them early and save you from a full system failure.
