When Should You Call for AC Repair?
If you go to turn on your air conditioner and it doesn't respond at all, chances are it needs to be repaired. While not having any cool air from your vents is a tell-tale sign to call for service, some AC issues aren't so obvious.
You should call for professional AC repair if:
- The airflow from your vents is weak or there is no cool air at all.
- The temperature of your home doesn't match what's set on the thermostat.
- You hear loud rattling or banging noises from the unit while it runs.
- You notice a burning smell coming from the unit.
- Your energy costs have gone up without increasing your AC usage.
No matter the issue, we'll find the root cause to ensure it doesn't come back and leave you stuck with another repair. We take the time to understand what's going on with your system and go over repair options with you to decide on the right solution.
We also offer AC maintenance services and a convenient maintenance plan that helps you avoid breakdowns and repairs that are easily prevented with a routine inspection. After your comfort is restored, planning a professional tune-up in the spring is the best way to keep your system running efficiently.

You can suspect a faulty AC condenser if you notice decreased cooling efficiency, visible leaks around the condenser unit, unusual noises when the AC is running, or if the unit cycles on and off more frequently than normal. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's advisable to have a professional inspect your system to confirm the condition of the condenser and recommend appropriate repairs.
Common air conditioner repairs include fixing refrigerant leaks, replacing or cleaning air filters, repairing or replacing faulty thermostats, and addressing issues with the condenser or evaporator coils. Other frequent repairs involve fixing electrical problems, such as faulty wiring or capacitor issues, and unclogging or repairing drainage systems to prevent water leaks. Regular maintenance can help identify and address these common issues before they lead to more significant problems, ensuring your air conditioner operates efficiently and effectively.
Air conditioners can leak water inside your home due to various reasons, such as a clogged condensate drain line, a cracked or damaged drain pan, a malfunctioning condensate pump, or a refrigerant leak.
