Common Air Conditioner Problems We Solve
You know your AC isn't working right, but you might not know why. Here are some common issues we see and repair every day:
- AC Not Blowing Cold Air: This is often due to low refrigerant levels (potentially from a leak), a clogged air filter restricting airflow, or issues with the compressor.
- Unit Won't Turn On: Could be a tripped breaker, a thermostat issue, or problems with the capacitor or contactor inside the unit.
- Strange Noises: Grinding, squealing, or buzzing sounds can indicate motor issues in the fan or blower, or potentially a compressor problem.
- Water Leaking: Usually points to a clogged condensate drain line, causing water to back up and overflow, or possibly a refrigerant leak that freezes the coil.
- Unit Cycles On and Off Constantly: This could be caused by an improperly sized unit, low refrigerant, or electrical issues.
- Weak Airflow: Often a sign of dirty air filters, blocked vents, or problems with the blower motor.
Whatever the symptom, our technicians have the expertise to pinpoint the exact cause and recommend the right solution.

Repair or Replace? Making the Right Decision
Facing a significant repair often leads to the question: should I fix it or get a new system? We're here to help you make the best decision for your home and budget. We'll consider factors like:
- Age of Your System: AC units typically last 10-15 years. If your system is older than 10 years and requires an expensive repair, replacement might be more cost-effective in the long run.
- Cost of Repair vs. Replacement: We'll help you compare the cost of the necessary repair against the investment in a new, more energy-efficient system. Sometimes, investing in a new unit saves more on energy bills over time than repeatedly fixing an old one.
- Frequency of Repairs: Is this the first issue, or are you constantly calling for service? Frequent breakdowns indicate an aging system ready for retirement.
- Energy Efficiency: Older units are far less efficient than modern ones. A new system can significantly lower your energy bills.
Our technician will provide an honest assessment and recommendation based on the condition of your current system and the specific repair needed. Learn more about your options for a new, efficient system on our Air Conditioning Installation page.

Frequently Asked Questions About AC Repair
- Why is my AC not cooling?
Common causes include low refrigerant (often from a leak), a dirty air filter, a clogged condensate drain, or a faulty component like the compressor or capacitor. Our technicians can accurately diagnose the specific issue.
- How much does AC repair typically cost?
Costs vary widely depending on the problem. Minor fixes like cleaning a drain line might be under $250, while replacing a major component like a compressor can cost significantly more. We provide an upfront estimate after diagnosis.
- How long does an AC repair take?
Many common repairs can be completed within 1-3 hours once diagnosed. More complex issues or parts that need to be ordered may take longer. We aim for efficient service without compromising quality.
- When should I replace my AC instead of repairing it?
Consider replacement if your system is over 10-15 years old, repairs are frequent or costly (especially if a single repair is more than 30-50% of the cost of a new unit), or if you're looking to significantly improve energy efficiency and lower bills. Our technician can help you evaluate if replacement is the more economical long-term solution.
