Rising Temps Stress HVAC Systems: Here’s What to Watch For

July 12, 2023 by Boris Mechanical

If this summer feels particularly hot to you, you’re right! Seasonal temperatures in NYC have been trending steadily upwards for years. The impact is more more pronounced in the winter than in the summer. The increased temperatures have been putting strain and stress on commercial and residential HVAC systems.

Here are some signs that your HVAC system is overly stressed. If you see one or more of these signs occurring, get in touch with your local HVAC contractor to have the system assessed & repaired as needed.

Signs Your HVAC System is Stressed & May Fail

Weak Airflow: A Common Sign of HVAC

For many property owners, the first clue the HVAC system is stressed is when the air conditioning doesn’t work as well as it once did. The power of the airflow coming out of the vents is not as strong or powerful as it used to be. This means the rooms don’t get as cool. Weak airflow is often experienced before the air flow stops completely. If you experience weak airflow, it’s time to have the system checked out.

Leaks, Drips, Puddles & Stink: Check the HVAC for Problems

While you’ll see some condensation forming on any HVAC system, an excessive amount of water is an indication there’s a problem. Leaks, drips, and puddles are a good sign that’s something is wrong. This water often has a foul odor, especially if it accumulates undetected for a while.

Strange Noises & Burning Smells: Bad Signs in HVAC Systems

Banging, clanging, or other unusual noises – especially those that can be heard by several people throughout the building – should be investigated by a qualified professional. Your HVAC system should not be making these type of noises. Additionally, any time you smell a burning smell, this is a problem that needs to be addressed. The risk of fire from a malfunctioning HVAC system can’t be ignored.
