The Most Common Signs That Your AC Needs Attention
Many times, it can be difficult to tell when your air conditioning unit needs repair. Smaller repair needs don’t usually manifest in a complete shutdown of your system. This means that damage can go relatively unnoticed until it becomes a bigger issue. Unfortunately, those larger issues could usually be avoided if the damage was caught sooner. Want to try to prevent that larger damage? Keep an eye out for these signs that might indicate you have AC damage that needs repair:
Hot Spots Around Your Home Or Business
While walking around your home or business, have you noticed certain spots that feel noticeably warmer than the surrounding areas? Or do you have whole rooms that struggle to stay at the temperature you prefer? While there might be some external factors that can contribute to this (windows with direct sunlight, insufficient insulation, etc.) however, oftentimes, this can point to an inefficient air conditioning unit. When your unit has suffered damage, it can be difficult for it to evenly cool an entire home or business.
An Unexpected Rise In Electricity Bills
You typically know when to expect larger electricity bills. Warmer months mean you tend to use your AC a little bit more than normal, which will, in turn, raise your electricity bill—which is expected! However, if that bill was a little bit larger than you were expecting, or your usage for the month doesn’t match the bill you received, there is a chance your air conditioning unit is the culprit. When your AC unit has damage, it has to work harder and harder to overcome the issues it is facing. Often, this leads to the unit running longer and more frequently to make up for the lack of efficiency.
Odd Sounds and Smells That Are New
Every house has sounds that you have to get used to and every business has a spot that randomly smells really odd, but those things are consistent and you get used to them! But if new smells or sounds have begun occurring, especially while your AC unit is turning on, running, or shutting down, it is likely there is some internal damage that needs to be assessed. If you start hearing sounds like grinding, whirring, or screeching, or you start to smell burning, musty, or smokey odors, you need to have your air conditioning system inspected quickly. Ignoring these could lead to even larger problems down the road.
These are just a few of the many signs that your AC unit in Tomahawk, WI might be in need of some attention. Want to work with a team of experts who can professionally inspect, diagnose, and repair your AC system? Give Frasier’s a call today!

Is There Such A Thing As An AC Emergency?
Many people wonder if there is such a thing as an AC emergency—especially in a place as mild as Tomahawk, WI. It might make sense for areas where summer temperatures can reach up into the 100s, but with an average summer temperature of 75, can Tomahawk residents really need emergency AC repair? While no one wants to have to deal with an AC emergency, unfortunately, it can still happen, even in our community. Here are a few examples of times when Tomahawk, WI residents might have an AC emergency on their hands.
The AC Unit Is Smoking/Burning
There are times when an AC unit has so much damage, or just the right thing is broken, that smoke, sparks, and even fire can be created. If you start noticing a smokey or burning smell, or you can visibly see smoke, you are in need of emergency AC repair immediately. Please note that if you see flames, you should call your fire department before you call anyone else. When this is the case, our team of emergency AC repair professionals can get out to your home as soon as possible to help mitigate the damage that your unit could be facing.
The Property Houses Vulnerable Peoples
If the home or business space that you are in has vulnerable people groups inside, and the air conditioning has stopped working, you are likely facing an AC emergency. While this isn’t necessarily true in the middle of a Wisconsin winter, we know that our hottest summer days can hit some pretty high peaks. Though the average summer day high is only around 75 degrees, we’ve seen temperatures peak up into the 80s and 90s! When this is true, there are three people groups who are particularly susceptible to negative impacts from the heat: the elderly, the ill, and infants. So if your AC is out, it is above 80 degrees outside, and you are housing a vulnerable people group, you have an emergency on your hands!
