Final System Test: After the repair, we run your air conditioner through a full cooling cycle to ensure it’s operating at peak performance. We’ll check air temperatures at the vents and make sure everything is working perfectly before we consider the job done.

Common AC Problems We Solve Every Day

If your air conditioning is acting up, chances are we’ve seen the problem a thousand times before. Our technicians are experts at fixing all the common (and uncommon) air conditioner issues.

AC Not Blowing Cold Air: This is the #1 complaint we hear. Your AC might be running, but the air coming out is lukewarm. This often points to a problem with the cooling cycle. It could be a refrigerant leak, which robs your system of its ability to absorb heat, or a problem with the compressor, the heart of the AC unit. Sometimes, it’s as simple as a very dirty filter suffocating the system.
AC Freezing Up: Seeing ice on your air conditioner coils or refrigerant lines is a major red flag. This is usually a symptom of restricted airflow, most often caused by a clogged air filter. Without enough warm air moving over the coils, they get too cold and freeze. Running your AC like this can cause serious and expensive damage to the compressor.
AC Leaking Water: Your air conditioner is a dehumidifier, pulling moisture from the air. This water is supposed to collect and flow out through a condensate drain line. If you see water pooling around your indoor unit, it’s a sign that this drain line is clogged with algae or debris, causing water to back up and overflow, which can damage your floors and ceilings.
AC Making Loud Noises: Your AC should be relatively quiet. Loud or unusual sounds are its way of telling you something is wrong. A buzzing or humming could point to an electrical issue with a capacitor or contactor. A hissing sound often indicates a refrigerant leak. And a clanking or banging noise could mean a problem with the fan motor or a loose part.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Repair

Why is my air conditioner running, but not cooling my house?

This is a very common issue. The most frequent causes are a dirty air filter restricting airflow, low refrigerant levels due to a leak, or dirty coils on your outside unit that can’t release heat effectively.

How often should I change my AC's air filter?

For most standard 1-inch filters, we recommend changing them every 1 to 3 months. If you have pets or allergies, you should check it monthly. A clean filter is the easiest way to keep your AC running efficiently.

Is it a big deal if my AC is low on refrigerant (Freon)?

Yes. Your air conditioner operates on a closed loop, so it should never “use up” refrigerant. If it’s low, it means there is a leak somewhere in the system. Simply adding more refrigerant without fixing the leak is only a temporary fix and can damage your compressor.
