From our vast experience in this industry, we’ve found that the most common signs of an A/C breakdown typically manifest through the following symptoms: 

• unpleasant smell during the operation of the A/C; 

• water leaking from the indoor unit; 

• lack of cooling, or a significant decrease in its intensity; 

• unit not responding, or responding incorrectly, to the setting(s) being selected; 

• unit does not reach the desired temperature; 

• device creates excessive noise or vibration; 

• unexpected device shutdowns during its operation.  

In most cases, a professional cleaning and maintenance service provided by Galaxy Services is sufficient to return your A/C back to a fully operational state. Remember: timely cleaning and maintenance is essential for an HVAC system! This is because during its operation, dust and dirt enter the unit and accumulate over time to form build-up; when this happens, your HVAC system becomes a breeding ground for disease. If your family or co-workers suffer from allergies, have a compromised immune system, or a predisposition to developing respiratory ailments, it is especially critical to ensure that the HVAC system you use is in tip-top shape.   

To achieve and retain its clean, safe, and efficacious state, make sure to contact an HVAC specialist to check your unit’s contamination status. Experts recommend cleaning and servicing air conditioners twice a year. Your call to our company can be a life-saver for you and your loved ones!
