Georgia summers can feel unforgiving. When your AC is running nonstop yet you’re still sweating, it’s not just frustrating—it’s a sign your system might be in trouble.
At Vital Air Services, we know how to help homeowners identify early warning signs before their AC system gives out completely. The last thing anyone wants is to be stuck without reliable cooling in the peak of summer.
Here’s what to look out for—because dealing with a scorching home isn’t just miserable, it might be totally preventable.
If your thermostat says 75°F but your home feels closer to 85°, this is a clear sign your AC isn’t doing its job.
Common Causes:
Why You Shouldn’t Ignore This:
Your system is working overtime but not cooling effectively. This wastes energy, increases wear, and risks costly breakdowns or total failure—especially during Atlanta’s peak heat.
Replace your air filter monthly during summer. If your home still won’t cool properly, schedule a professional AC tune-up today to avoid emergency repairs.
If air coming from your vents feels weak, warm, or barely noticeable, your AC isn’t circulating air efficiently.
Possible Issues:
Why Act Now:
Poor airflow forces your AC to overwork itself, which will worsen your unit’s performance and drive up your energy bills. Inconsistent airflow can also cause hot and cold spots, making some rooms unbearable.
If airflow varies by room, call us for duct cleaning or system balancing — don’t let poor airflow sabotage your comfort.
Notice your power bill jumping higher each summer with no change in your habits? It’s likely your AC is losing efficiency.
What’s Happening:
Why You Need to Act Fast:
If your cooling costs have doubled overnight, your AC is on the brink of failure. Waiting too long to address it will lead to irreversible damage.
Prevent surprises — book a seasonal maintenance check to keep your AC running efficiently and save on energy costs.
If your system is short-cycling (turning off and on frequently) or running constantly without a break, it’s under serious stress.
Common Causes:
Why This Matters:
Short cycling wears out components quickly, raises repair costs, and reduces comfort. Running constantly is equally dangerous and inefficient.
Don’t wait until it breaks down, or else thousands of dollars will go down the drain. Contact Vital Air Services immediately for a full system performance check.
A good AC unit does more than cool—it also helps manage indoor humidity. If your home feels sticky or musty, something’s off.
Possible Issues:
Why Fix It Now:
High humidity makes your home feel hotter and encourages mold, dust mites, and allergens, impacting health and comfort.
Ask us about adding a whole-home dehumidifier or upgrading to a more efficient HVAC system for better moisture control.
Ignoring these warning signs puts you at risk of costly emergency repairs or total AC failure when Georgia’s heat is at its worst.
