Prompt Professional AC Repair

Air conditioning problems are often caused by improper installation or maintenance. The most common AC problems we see include:

• Installation Related Issues:
  • Improper sizing: If an indoor unit is too small it will fail to properly heat or cool in extreme weather. If it is too big, it will cycle on its lowest output and fail to properly dehumidify.
  • Improper Ductwork: If duct systems are not properly sized areas can be overcooled leaving other rooms that are too hot. Leaky or improperly insulated ductwork can result in serious efficiency and capacity reductions.
  • Condensate Problems: Water accumulating below your air handler or backing up onto your indoor coil.
  • Capacity Losses Over Time: Improper installation or mechanical damage of refrigerant lines can cause slow leaks of system refrigerant. This results in reduced capacity over time typically within in the first year or two of installation
  • Thermostat problems: Improper programming, dead batteries, or wiring problems
• Issues caused by lack or maintenance:
  • Dirty indoor or outdoor coils
  • Improper grounding or incorrect gas pressure
  • Problem with the burners, heat exchanger, or flame safety system
• Age Related Component Failures:
  • Breaker Trips: Breaker to the outdoor has unit tripped more than once potentially indicating improper wiring or potential compressor, fan motor, or capacitor issues.
  • Fan or Blower Motors: A persistent vibration or odd noise with the outdoor or indoor unit
  • Unusual Odors: Near the outdoor unit, or coming from the ductwork outlets

We will thoroughly evaluate your air conditioning system and prepare a complete job estimate. You'll never be surprised by charges you're not expecting.

If we find that your air conditioning system needs significant repairs, or is more than 12 years old we'll let you know, and may also suggest upgrading to a new and efficient Armstrong air conditioning system.

DIY Air Conditioning Repair?

More than a few of our emergency AC repair calls turn out to be a problem that could have been resolved by an engaged owner. If you're so inclined, you can save stress, time, and money by checking these things before you call:

• Does your system have power?
  • Check your indoor furnace or air handler system switch. This is typically a toggle switch that may have a RED cover-plate near the entrance to your indoor utility space.
  • Check you circuit breaker panel to ensure that your heating system breaker is "ON".
  • Is your outdoor unit disconnect on? The disconnect is typically a box on the wall near the AC outdoor unit.
• Is your thermostat properly calling for cooling now?
  • If your thermostat has batteries, change them now and try again.
  • Make sure your thermostat is "ON", is set to "COOL", and the desired room temperature is set lower than the current ambient temperature.
• Indoor airflow though your ductwork is critical.
  • Have you changed your furnace filter lately? If not, change them now and re-start your system.
  • Check your indoor grills and registered. Are almost all open and clear of obstructions? Open or clear and closed or restricted inlets or outlets.
• Other Issues:
  • If your thermostat or the system power was off, after turning the system on give it a few minutes - many A/C systems have a time-delay function on start-up.
  • If your system is blowing cool air, but not cooling as well as it should, check your outdoor unit to ensure there is nothing blocking airflow through the outdoor coil. PLEASE NOTE: Be very careful not to damage the fines on your outdoor coil and call us if you need help!
