FAQ
Central AC repair questions
The usual causes are a dirty filter, a frozen evaporator coil, low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor or contactor, or a dirty condenser coil outside. Check the thermostat and the filter first. If the outdoor unit runs but the air stays warm, call us before the compressor is damaged.
We check the operating pressures with gauges and inspect the coils, line set and connections with professional leak detection methods. Once the leak is found, we repair it where possible, recharge the system to the manufacturer's specification and test it, so the AC cools properly instead of losing refrigerant again.
Short cycling usually comes from a clogged filter, a frozen coil, low refrigerant, a faulty thermostat or a system that is too large for the home. It wears out the compressor and raises energy bills. We find the cause during a diagnostic visit, explain the fix and test the system after the repair.
Water around the indoor unit usually means a clogged condensate drain line, a cracked or overflowing drain pan, or a frozen coil that is melting. Turn the system off to avoid damage. We clear the drain, check the pan and the coil, and make sure condensate drains away as it should.
Replacement is worth considering when the system is old, needs major repairs often, uses an older refrigerant or cannot keep the house comfortable. We always diagnose first, explain the repair and the replacement options honestly, and let you decide. Many central AC problems are fixed quickly and affordably.
