Our team at Hoover provides reliable AC repairs throughout Troy and the surrounding area. Sure signs you need air conditioner repairs include:
- Inefficient cooling: Warm air, weak air, and hot spots in your home indicate inefficient cooling. Common causes are blocked vents or ducts, a faulty blower motor, a faulty thermostat, low refrigerant levels, or a poorly designed or sized system.
- Bad smells: Odors like burning plastic, decay, and mildew signal something is either dead in or near your system, a moisture issue, or an electrical issue. If your system still has a fan belt, it could be the smell of a loose belt heating as it slips along the wheel.
- Frequent cycling: It’s normal for your system to run for about 15 minutes before turning off, usually performing two to three cycles an hour. A system that shuts off after seconds or less than two minutes indicates an electrical issue or an overheating system.
- Loud noises: Most AC systems make some noise when they engage, but new, prolonged, or loud noises signal a problem with your unit. Hissing and gurgling is usually a refrigerant leak, banging and clunking is loose or warped components hitting each other, grinding is a lack of lubricant, and whistling is usually something blocking your ducts or vents.
- Unexplained high energy bills: While you can count on ever-higher energy rates from DTE, if you notice an unexplained spike in your utility bill, the issue could be with your AC. Aging and poorly sized systems can use more energy than necessary to meet your home’s cooling demands.
- Water leaks: Pooling water in the condensate drain pan or around the unit indicates one of two issues — frozen coils or a clogged drain line.
If you notice any of these issues, don’t delay. Call Hoover today to troubleshoot the source of the problems and tackle repairs. The longer an AC issue goes unrepaired, the more likely it is to break down at a bad time and require costly repairs or even a whole system replacement.

With an approved quote, we’ll work to install the system quickly and efficiently to limit the disruption to your home. Many installations can take about four hours, depending on whether you have suitable existing ductwork and wiring.
