Air conditioning units are pivotal in numerous residences and workplaces, especially during blistering summer months. They help establish a comfortable ambiance by regulating the temperature. Like all machines, air conditioners can break down or decline in performance over their lifespan. It's crucial to recognize the signs that suggest your air conditioner may need repair:
- Unit failing to emit cold air
- Absence of electrical power
- Abnormal noises
- Water buildup or leakage around the appliance
- Sudden or unpleasant smells
- Poor airflow
- Warm air emanating from supply registers
- Eccentric starting and stopping

If your air conditioner isn't cooling your home effectively, there's no cause for panic. Our team offers emergency services to ensure the temperature isn’t unbearable in your home. We're here to help you uncover the issues and deliver the most dependable air conditioner repair solutions. Your AC may not be working at its best due to various typical problems:
Power Problems
If your air conditioner fails to receive power, we'll check for tripped circuit breakers, faulty wiring, or a system that's overheating. Our team can proficiently solve the problem by repairing the wiring, resetting the circuit breaker, and eliminating any obstructions for optimal airflow.
Old Fan Belt
A worn-out fan belt may cause a screeching sound from your AC unit. It's essential to routinely inspect your AC unit for visible signs of deterioration on the fan belt.
Leaking Coolant
A strange hissing sound is often a sign of a coolant leak. Besides affecting your unit's performance, coolant leaks can harm the environment.
Faulty Fan Motor
If your AC's fan fails to distribute air adequately, a fan motor replacement may be called for. Our specialists will thoroughly investigate the fan motor to determine if repair is possible or replacement is necessary.
Clogged Condensate Drain
Debris and residue can easily obstruct your condensate drain, causing inconvenience and potential harm. Our dedicated team can expertly manage this issue by cleaning your unit and applying an algaecide to avoid future blockages.
Inefficient Compressor
If your AC is running, but the atmosphere remains uncomfortable, it could point to a problematic compressor. The compressor is one of the most vital and expensive components of an AC system.
Frozen Evaporator Coil
There are various reasons why evaporator coils could freeze, resulting in hot airflow from the air supply registers. If you experience a frozen evaporator coil, simply switch off your AC unit and contact our team for the necessary repairs.
Should I Repair or Replace My AC?
There are many factors we consider when determining if you need an air conditioner repair or replacement. If your AC unit is over ten years old, we typically recommend investing in a new one.
