FAQs about AC Repair

  • Why is my AC not cooling?

    Common causes: dirty or clogged air filter (check and replace first — this solves many problems), frozen evaporator coil (often caused by low refrigerant or restricted airflow), failed capacitor (the most common part failure, $100–$300 to replace), tripped breaker or blown fuse, faulty thermostat, refrigerant leak, or compressor failure. Before calling for service, check the air filter, make sure the thermostat is set to "cool" and below room temperature, verify the circuit breaker hasn't tripped, and confirm the outdoor unit is running and not blocked by debris. If basic checks don't solve it, call a licensed HVAC technician.

  • How often should I service my AC?

    Annual AC maintenance should be performed in spring before the cooling season. A tune-up ($75–$150) includes: cleaning the condenser coil, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections, testing capacitors, lubricating moving parts, checking the thermostat, and inspecting the drain line. Annual maintenance catches small problems before they become expensive failures, maintains efficiency (dirty coils can reduce cooling capacity by 30%), and keeps your manufacturer warranty valid (many warranties require annual professional maintenance). Change your air filter every 1–3 months during the cooling season.
