How Can You Prep for the AC Repair Day?

Clear a path to your AC system and thermostat, secure pets if needed, jot down any symptoms you’ve noticed, and make sure someone 18 or older is home. This helps us work quickly and safely.

The goal? Fix your cooling issue fast and leave your home better than we found it.

Not every AC issue starts with a loud bang. Sometimes the signs are subtle—until they’re not. Keep an eye (and ear) out for these red flags.

It’s running, but the air isn’t cold

This one’s pretty common. If your AC sounds like it’s working but you’re still sweating, it could be low refrigerant, dirty coils, or thermostat calibration issues.

Your home feels unevenly cooled

If one room’s freezing and the other’s an oven, you might have ductwork issues or an AC system struggling to keep up. It’s often a fixable airflow problem.

Your electric bills are climbing

A sudden rise in energy bills could mean your AC system is working harder than it should. That usually means something inside is worn out, dirty, or broken.

You hear strange sounds during startup or shutdown

Pops, bangs, or loud humming aren’t normal. They often point to loose parts, motor issues, or failing components that need immediate attention.

Your AC keeps cycling on and off

Frequent cycling stresses your system and wastes electricity. It could be a clogged filter, a refrigerant problem, or an improperly sized unit.

When in doubt, call us. We’ll sort it out and help you avoid bigger headaches down the road.

Funky smells from the vents? That’s never a good sign.

Possible Causes and Fixes

Musty odors usually point to mold or mildew in the ductwork or near the evaporator coil. A burning smell could mean overheating wires or motor problems. A sour or rotting smell might be the result of stagnant water or a pest issue. Our HVAC technicians can pinpoint the source, clean the affected parts, and recommend the right repair. We also check indoor air quality and make sure your system’s ventilation is healthy and safe.

Things to Try Before Calling in a Professional

• Change your air filter
• Run the system with windows open for 15 minutes
• Check for water pooling around the AC unit
• Make sure no pests have gotten into the ducts

If the smell lingers after these steps, call us. We’ll take care of it.

Warm air from your AC? That’s a clear sign something’s off.

Possible Causes and Fixes

You might have low refrigerant, a dirty evaporator coil, or thermostat settings that got knocked off schedule. In some cases, the outdoor unit isn’t receiving power, or the compressor has failed. Our HVAC repair team will check everything from the thermostat to the condenser and get the cool air flowing again. Sometimes the fix is simple. Other times, it’s a worn part that needs replacing.

Things to Try Before Calling in a Professional

• Double-check your thermostat mode and temperature
• Replace the air filter
• Reset the system at the breaker
• Look for any debris around the outdoor unit

If those steps don’t fix it, don’t sweat it, we’ll figure it out.

No one likes surprise bills. That’s why we keep things transparent and help you make the most budget-friendly, effective choice for your cooling system.

If your AC system is over 12 years old and constantly breaking down, a replacement might be the smarter move. But if it’s still cooling well and this is your first issue in years, repair is likely the better call. We look at the system’s age, condition, and repair costs before giving you honest advice.

If the repair is less than half the cost of a new system and your AC is still under 10 years old, go with the fix. But if your energy bills are high, your home’s uncomfortable, and you’ve had multiple repairs in the last year, AC replacement might save you money in the long run.
