Reasons to call

Signs your AC needs attention

If any of these sound familiar, it is a good time to have the system looked at.

  • The system turns on and off in short bursts
  • The outdoor unit is humming but the fan is not spinning
  • Ice on the refrigerant lines or indoor coil
  • Water pooling near the indoor unit or furnace closet
  • Grinding, squealing, or rattling noises
  • Rooms that never reach the thermostat setting
  • A sudden jump in your summer electric bill

Solutions

How we approach AC repair

01

AC diagnostics

We check airflow, electrical components, the thermostat, and refrigerant-side performance to find the cause rather than guessing at parts.

02

Electrical and component repair

Capacitors, contactors, fan motors, and controls wear out under heavy summer use. We replace what has failed and check what is close behind it.

03

Airflow and drainage issues

Clogged filters, dirty coils, restricted ducts, and blocked condensate drains can all mimic bigger problems. Some of the most effective fixes are the simplest.

04

Thermostat troubleshooting

If the problem is the control and not the equipment, we will tell you. Thermostat replacement and smart thermostat options are available when it makes sense.

FAQ

AC Repair questions

Have a question that is not here? Call 1-888-715-7550.

Why is my AC running but not cooling the house?

Common causes include a dirty filter or coil, a failed capacitor or fan motor, low refrigerant from a leak, or a thermostat issue. Because several problems produce the same symptom, a proper diagnosis is the fastest path to the right fix.

Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?

It depends on the age of the system, the cost of the repair, how often it has needed service, and how well it keeps your home comfortable. We will lay out both options honestly so you can weigh them.

Is there anything I should check before calling?

Confirm the thermostat is set to cool, check that the breaker has not tripped, and look at the air filter. If the filter is very dirty, replacing it may help. If ice is visible, turn the system off and give us a call.

Do you repair commercial AC systems too?

Yes. We work on both residential and commercial equipment, including rooftop units. See our commercial HVAC page for more detail.
