AC Repair

AC not cooling? We find the cause, then fix it.

Warm air from the vents, a unit that won’t start, ice on the lines or a breaker that keeps tripping. Our technicians diagnose the real problem, explain what they found and give you the price before any repair begins.

Common problems

  • Warm air from the ventsOften a refrigerant leak, a failed capacitor or a dirty coil.
  • The outdoor unit won’t startElectrical faults, a tripped breaker or a worn contactor are common causes.
  • Ice on the refrigerant linesUsually restricted airflow or low refrigerant. It needs attention before the compressor suffers.
  • Water around the indoor unitA blocked condensate drain can overflow and damage ceilings or floors.
  • Buzzing, grinding or clickingNoises like these often mean a motor or electrical part is failing.
  • It switches on and off constantlyShort cycling stresses the equipment and can point to sizing or thermostat issues.

FAQ

Questions about AC repair

Can’t find your question? Call the office and talk to someone who knows heating and cooling.

Is it worth repairing an older air conditioner?

Often, yes. If the system is in good shape and the repair is modest, repair makes sense. If it’s near the end of its life and the fix is major, we’ll show you the comparison.

Can I top up the refrigerant myself?

No. Refrigerant handling requires certification, and low refrigerant almost always means a leak that needs finding and repairing.

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

Common causes include a dirty filter or coil, a refrigerant leak, a failed capacitor or a problem with the outdoor fan.

Do you take after-hours calls?

Our after-hours line is for no-cooling emergencies, especially when someone at home is vulnerable to heat. Call and we’ll talk through the options.
