When to call a technician:

There are some situations only a professional should handle. Here’s when you need to call in an expert.

1. Your energy bills keep rising
   If your utility bills increase but your overall usage remains the same, one or more components of your system may not be working as they should.
2. Your comfort isn’t consistent
   If your air conditioner, furnace or other HVAC system can’t maintain consistent temperatures, a technician is the best person to investigate the issue.
3. Your unit’s fins are damaged
   Bent or damaged fins on your air conditioner or heat pump’s outdoor unit can trap heat inside your unit, causing performance and temperature issues.
4. Your unit takes on a lot of water
   Excessive water, such as from a flood, can seriously damage your unit’s electrical systems. If you suspect that your unit’s mechanical equipment might have water damage, do not attempt to resolve the issue yourself. Call a technician. Electrical problems are potentially life-threatening and should only be handled by a professional.
5. You smell electrical burning
   Turn off your unit immediately and call a technician. A burning smell could mean your unit is experiencing a malfunction or electrical issue requiring professional attention.
