Frequently asked questions

Short-cycling is when the system turns on and off in quick bursts instead of running a full cooling cycle. It can be caused by a restricted filter, low refrigerant, an oversized unit or an electrical fault. It burns energy and wears out the compressor, so it is worth diagnosing quickly.
Almost always a blocked condensate drain line or a full drain pan. The system produces condensation as it cools, and when that water cannot drain it backs up into the house. Shut the system off to limit the water damage and call us — this one is straightforward to fix but unpleasant to leave.
Refrigerant leaks, failed capacitors, worn contactors, clogged condensate drains, dirty coils and thermostat faults account for most of the calls we take. Many of them announce themselves first as weaker airflow or longer run times, which is a good moment to call rather than waiting for a full breakdown.
The usual causes are a dirty air filter, a refrigerant leak, a failing capacitor or compressor, or a frozen evaporator coil. Start by checking the filter and the thermostat setting. If the system is still blowing warm air after that, it needs a technician — running it in that state can make the underlying problem worse.
It depends on the age of the system, what the repair costs, and how often it has needed attention. As a rule of thumb, a unit past 10 to 12 years that is failing repeatedly is usually better replaced than repaired again. Our technicians will give you both numbers and let you decide rather than pushing you toward a new system.
Most residential air conditioners last somewhere between 10 and 12 years. Systems here tend to work harder than they would in a milder climate because of how long our cooling season runs, so maintenance makes a real difference to how much of that range you actually get.
We offer same-day service in most cases, and our trucks carry the parts needed for common repairs so we are not sending you away to wait on an order. Availability depends on the day and how far out we are booked, so call as early as you can.
