Common AC Problems We Repair

Our experienced technicians are skilled in diagnosing and repairing a wide range of air conditioning issues, regardless of the make or model of your unit. Some of the most common AC problems we address include:

Blowing Warm Air: This is a clear sign your AC isn't cooling properly. It could be due to low refrigerant, a faulty compressor, a dirty air filter, or issues with your thermostat.

No Airflow or Weak Airflow: If your unit is running but little to no air is coming from the vents, or the airflow is weak, it could indicate a clogged air filter, a problem with the fan motor, or ductwork issues.

Strange Noises:

  • Grinding, Squealing, or Scraping: Often points to issues with the motor bearings or other mechanical components.
  • Hissing or Bubbling: Can indicate a refrigerant leak.
  • Banging or Clanking: Might mean loose parts inside the compressor or another component.
  • Loud Operation: An AC unit that is suddenly much louder than usual can signal a problem with the fan, motor, or other internal parts.

Frequent Cycling (Short Cycling): If your AC turns on and off too frequently, it could be oversized, have a refrigerant leak, or a faulty thermostat.

Leaking Water or Refrigerant:
  • Water Leaks: Often caused by a clogged condensate drain line or a frozen evaporator coil.
  • Refrigerant Leaks: A serious issue that requires professional attention, as refrigerant is a hazardous chemical and low levels impair cooling.
High Energy Bills: A sudden or continuous spike in your electricity bill without a change in usage often indicates your AC unit is losing efficiency and working harder than it should.
Bad Odors:
  • Musty Smell: Suggests mold or mildew growth in the system.
  • Burning Smell: Could indicate an electrical problem like a shorted circuit board or fan motor.
Thermostat Malfunctions: Issues with the thermostat can lead to the AC not turning on, inconsistent cooling, or failure to maintain the set temperature.

Frozen Evaporator Coil: Ice buildup on the indoor coil indicates poor airflow (often due to a dirty filter) or low refrigerant.
