Signs You Need AC Repair Right Now

Your AC often gives warning signs before completely breaking down. Catching these early can save you money and prevent uncomfortable situations. Watch for these telltale signals:

  • Unusual Noises: Banging, clanking, or screeching sounds aren’t normal. They point to loose or broken parts that need immediate attention.
  • Weak Airflow: When air barely comes out of your vents, your system works harder while delivering less comfort.
  • Warm Air: Your AC should blow cold air. If it’s blowing warm or room-temperature air, something’s wrong with your cooling cycle.
  • Higher Energy Bills: A sudden spike in your electricity bill often means your AC runs inefficiently and needs repair.
  • Bad Smells: Musty or burning odors suggest mold growth or electrical problems that require professional attention.
  • Humidity Problems: Your AC should remove excess moisture from the air. If your home feels sticky even with the AC running, your system needs help.

Why Fast AC Repair Makes All the Difference

When your air conditioner acts up, every minute counts, especially in the southern Louisiana heat. Waiting too long to fix a problem can turn a minor issue into a full-blown system failure and a much bigger bill . Fast repair protects your home and your AC system from long-term damage.

  • Keeps You Comfortable in Brutal Heat: A fast repair means you don’t have to suffer through sticky nights or scorching afternoons. You get your cool, comfortable home back ASAP.
  • Saves You Money in the Long Run: Delaying repairs can lead to major breakdowns that cost way more than a quick fix.
  • Extends the Life of Your System: Timely repairs reduce unnecessary strain on the system, helping it run better and last longer. That’s money saved on replacements down the line.
  • Protects Your Indoor Air Quality: Some AC problems, like clogged filters or refrigerant leaks, can mess with your air quality. Quick repairs stop contaminants from spreading through your home and keep things fresher and safer for your family.
  • Reduces Stress and Surprises: Nobody wants their AC to die during a weekend barbecue or when guests are over. Fixing issues fast gives you peace of mind and one less thing to worry about. You stay ahead of the problem instead of reacting to a disaster.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Repair

It depends on the issue. Simple problems like replacing a capacitor or fixing an electrical connection might take around an hour. More complex issues involving refrigerant, compressors, or multiple components can take longer. What you need to know is that Keefe’s technicians always give you a time estimate before starting work. You won’t go into the job with an inaccurate timetable.

Uneven cooling happens for several reasons. Old or leaky ductwork loses cool air before it reaches distant rooms. Improperly sized AC units struggle to cool larger spaces. Blocked vents or dirty air filters restrict airflow to certain areas. Multi-story homes naturally face temperature differences as heat rises.

Keefe’s technicians can evaluate your home’s specific situation and recommend solutions like duct sealing, zoning systems, or air balancing. We look at the whole picture — your AC unit, ductwork, insulation, and air pollution factors — to find a fix that brings comfort to every room.

Water pooling around your indoor AC unit usually comes from a clogged condensate drain line. Your AC naturally pulls moisture from the air, and that water needs somewhere to go. When the drain line clogs with dust, mold, or algae, water backs up and leaks. While not immediately dangerous to your system, this water can damage floors and walls and create perfect conditions for mold growth. It also signals your AC isn’t working properly.

Keefe’s repair team can clear these clogs quickly, install drain line treatments to prevent future buildup, and check for any water damage to surrounding areas.

Beyond repairs, we offer complete AC installations when your system needs replacement. We also improve your indoor air quality with filtration solutions that remove allergens and contaminants. Thermostat installations give you better control over your comfort and can significantly reduce energy bills. And we can’t forget to mention again that we provide AC maintenance!

Whatever your home comfort needs, Keefe’s has solutions that work. Remember: For Fast Relief, Call KEEFE!

If your air conditioner has been doing battle with Louisiana summers for over a decade—or if it’s facing a repair bill bigger than a crawfish boil—you might want to hit pause before sinking more money into it. When AC systems reach the ten-year mark, or need pricey fixes like a compressor or coil replacement, it’s usually smarter to weigh replacement versus repair.

Our techs won’t pressure you, but they’ll lay out your options. Sometimes a new, energy-efficient model (think of brands like Trane and Carrier) will save you more over time than limping along with an aging unit. We’ll walk you through estimated costs, potential energy savings, and any rebates or incentives that apply, so you can make the call that makes sense for your home and budget.

Turning your AC off completely while you’re on vacation might sound like a money-saver, but it can backfire big time in Louisiana’s muggy climate. When you let your home bake in the heat and humidity, you risk more than just discomfort; warping wood floors, damaged electronics, and musty-smelling clothes can all result from a steamy indoor climate. Not to mention, mold loves nothing more than a hot, stagnant house.

Instead, set your thermostat a little higher than usual—around 80–82 degrees Fahrenheit is the sweet spot. This keeps excess humidity at bay and helps protect your home and belongings, without wasting energy trying to maintain your usual icy-cool temperature. Bonus tip: If you have a smart thermostat, consider scheduling it to lower the temp before you return for a comfortable homecoming.

Simple Tasks to Keep Your AC Running Smoothly

While professional maintenance makes the biggest difference in your AC’s lifespan, you can take steps between service visits to keep things running smoothly and avoid unexpected repair calls.

  • Change your air filter every 30-90 days, depending on your home’s air pollution levels and if you have pets. A clean filter improves air quality and reduces strain on your system.
  • Keep the area around your outdoor unit clear of debris, leaves, and plants. Your AC needs proper airflow to work efficiently.
  • Check your thermostat settings regularly to make sure they match your comfort needs without overworking your system. Small adjustments can save energy and reduce wear.
  • Listen for unusual sounds when your system kicks on. Early detection of problems saves you from bigger headaches down the road.

If your air conditioner isn’t working as it should, try a few quick troubleshooting steps:

  • Check the circuit breaker in your panel box to ensure it hasn’t been tripped.
  • Inspect your air filter—if it’s clogged, swap it out for a fresh one.
  • Confirm that your thermostat is set to cool and the fan is on auto.
  • Take a look at your outdoor unit. If you spot ice or frost, turn your system off and let it thaw completely before restarting.

If your AC issues persist after these checks, it’s a good idea to call in a professional for a closer look. For Fast Relief, Call KEEFE!
