FAQ’S

  • Signs that your AC needs repair include uneven cooling, strange noises, weak airflow, and increased energy bills. If your unit leaks water, produces unpleasant odors, or frequently cycles on and off, these may also indicate a malfunction requiring professional attention.

  • Having your AC serviced at least once a year is recommended, ideally in spring before the summer heat kicks in. Regular maintenance helps ensure your system runs efficiently, reduces the risk of unexpected breakdowns, and prolongs the unit's life.

  • If your AC is blowing warm air, it could be due to a refrigerant leak, a clogged air filter, or a faulty compressor. These issues disrupt the cooling process. It is essential to have a professional technician inspect the system to determine and fix the underlying problem.

  • Cleaning or replacing filters, ensuring proper insulation, and sealing any leaks in the ducts can improve your AC's efficiency. Regular maintenance, including coil cleaning and system checks, can significantly boost performance and reduce energy consumption.

  • If your AC is over 10-15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or cannot cool the home efficiently, it may be time for a replacement. Additionally, if repair costs are more than 50% of the cost of a new unit, replacement is likely a more cost-effective option.

  • Strange noises like banging, hissing, or grinding indicate an internal problem. Common causes include loose parts, motor issues, or a clogged drain line. These noises should be addressed promptly to prevent further damage and ensure your AC operates safely and efficiently.

  • While homeowners can do minor tasks, like replacing filters or cleaning the condenser coils, most AC repairs require professional expertise. Attempting to fix complex issues yourself can cause further damage and void warranties, so it is best to hire a licensed technician.

  • If your AC is freezing up, it could be due to low refrigerant, a dirty air filter, or a blocked airflow. These issues restrict the flow of air and cause the system to freeze. A professional technician will diagnose the issue and restore proper function.

  • The time needed to repair your AC depends on the issue's complexity. Simple fixes like filter replacement or coil cleaning may take 1-2 hours, while more involved repairs, such as replacing the compressor or fixing a refrigerant leak, may take several hours or even a day.

  • If your AC stops working at night, start by checking the thermostat settings and circuit breakers and ensuring that the air filter is clean. If the issue persists, contact a technician for an emergency repair to avoid further damage and discomfort during hot weather.
