As Grand Rapids’ most qualified air conditioning repair contractor, homeowners know they can call Vander Hyde Services 24/7 for emergency appointments. We answer calls any time, any day for AC repairs, so you’ll never have to leave us a message.

Top reasons to call our AC repair team in Grand Rapids include:

• Frequent Cycling: Cycling is when your air conditioner turns on and off. When this happens frequently, it usually means there is a problem with your system. You could be dealing with frozen evaporator coils, a clogged air filter, low refrigerant, or various electrical issues. Some AC units also cycle on and off because they are too big for the space they are in. Whatever the reason is though, it’s always a good idea to call a technician to take a look at it, since a short-cycling AC unit is likely to affect both your comfort and your utility bills.
• Strange Smells: A stale, stagnant smell coming from your air conditioner is often caused by mold growth. This usually happens when there is a problem in the system’s drain pan/drip lines, causing too much moisture to accumulate. However, if you detect a gaseous smell coming from your AC unit, you could be dealing with a more serious problem, like a gas leak. Either way, call a technician to come take a look at the problem right away.
• Loud Noises: There are a variety of noises your AC system may make if it is experiencing a problem, none of which should be ignored. A banging sound, for instance, is usually an indication of a loose rod or piston pin. A buzzing noise could mean your fan motor is loose, or there’s an issue with the coil. Meanwhile, a continuous clicking can mean there is a problem with the thermostat, while screeching could be a sign of a refrigerant leak, a broken fan, or too much pressure within the condenser.
• Leaks: Is there a water leak coming from below your furnace? Do you smell rotten eggs or does your CO2 alarm go off when your AC kicks on? These are serious issues only an experienced technician like the HVAC pros at Vander Hyde can provide solutions for. Water on the floor may simply be condensation, but depending on your unit they could be the sign of a bigger problem. As mentioned above, if you smell gas when you’re AC turns on, you should immediately shut it off and give us a call, as ignoring leaks will ultimately lead to bigger, more expensive problems.
• Lack of Cool Air/No Cool Air At All: If your AC has stopped distributing cool air, you could be dealing with a wide range of issues, including problems that have nothing to do with your system, like a tripped circuit breaker, or more serious internal problems, such as a burnt out motor or a failed compressor. Either way, if your AC is not doing the one thing it is supposed to do (i.e. keep you cool,) you shouldn’t wait to call a technician. This problem is not going to get better on its own, so you might as well call an AC expert to solve it today.

AC Repair Vs. Replacement

You could either replace the unit outright or choose AC repair when the air conditioning breaks down. It may seem that AC repair is the more financially prudent move. Still, you might want to replace the unit in the following cases.

1. It's older than 10 years - AC units can go from 8-15 years depending on use, environment and maintenance. But if your unit is much older than 10 years, you'll save money in the long run by getting a new unit as opposed to AC repair.

2. It requires R22 Freon - If your unit requires the banned coolant, it will be very expensive to replace and tends to be hard to get ahold of. It is still legal to sell but illegal to produce, so the availability goes down every year while the price continues to shoot up.

3. Your utility bills keep going up - One of the signs that your air conditioner is on its last legs is it is driving up your electrical bill. Don't throw more money into a unit that's going to cost you more money each and every month.

4. It needs repair after repair - Our AC repair experts in Grand Rapids can always fix your unit, but after enough repair calls they really should offer to replace it in order to save you money in the long run.
