Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my AC not turning on at all?
If your air conditioner won’t power up, it could be due to a tripped circuit breaker, a blown fuse, a faulty thermostat, or an internal electrical issue such as a failed capacitor or contactor. Sometimes, safety switches triggered by clogged drain lines or high-pressure faults can also shut the unit down. Our technicians will perform a step-by-step diagnostic, starting with the power supply and working through all system components, to quickly identify and repair the root cause so your home is cool again.
My AC is running but not cooling—what could be wrong?
When your AC runs but doesn’t cool, common culprits include low refrigerant, a dirty evaporator or condenser coil, a malfunctioning compressor, or an issue with the blower motor. It could also be as simple as a clogged air filter or blocked return vents. Our team will inspect refrigerant levels, clean coils, check for airflow restrictions, and test all major components to restore your system’s cooling power.
What should I do if my AC is leaking water inside the house?
Water leaks are often caused by a clogged or disconnected condensate drain line, a cracked drain pan, or frozen evaporator coils that thaw and overflow. If you see water pooling around your indoor unit, turn off your AC and call for service. Our technicians will clear the drain, repair or replace the pan, and check for underlying issues like low refrigerant or airflow problems that may have caused the freeze-up.
What causes my AC to cycle on and off too frequently?
Short cycling can result from an oversized AC unit, a malfunctioning thermostat, dirty air filters, or electrical issues like a failing capacitor. It puts extra strain on your system and can drive up energy bills. Our technicians will diagnose the cause, whether it’s a simple filter change or a more complex electrical repair, and make the necessary adjustments to restore normal operation.
Is it worth repairing an older AC system, or should I replace it?
If your AC is more than 10–15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or uses outdated refrigerant, replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run. However, if the issue is minor and the system is otherwise in good shape, a repair can extend its life. Our team will provide a thorough assessment, explain your options, and help you make the best decision based on repair costs, system efficiency, and your comfort needs.
