Common AC Problems We Repair
System not cooling properly: this is the most common call we receive, especially in July and August. The cause can range from low refrigerant to a failing compressor. Our technicians use diagnostic tools to pinpoint the exact issue before recommending any repairs.
Strange noises from the unit. Grinding, squealing, or banging sounds usually indicate a mechanical problem such as a worn bearing, loose fan blade, or failing motor. Catching these early can prevent more expensive damage down the road.
AC running but not blowing cold air: if your system is running but pushing warm air, the issue is often a refrigerant leak, a frozen evaporator coil, or a malfunctioning expansion valve. Refrigerant issues must be handled by certified technicians following EPA refrigerant management guidelines. We check every component to find the root cause.
Short cycling (turning on and off rapidly). Short cycling puts heavy strain on your compressor and drives up energy bills. Common causes include an oversized system, a failing thermostat, or low refrigerant levels.
Water leaking around the indoor unit, a clogged condensate drain line is the most frequent culprit. Left unchecked, this can lead to water damage and mold growth in your home.
High energy bills without increased usage. If your electric bill has spiked, your AC system may be losing efficiency due to dirty coils, refrigerant issues, or aging components. A thorough inspection can identify what’s driving costs up.
