Common Emergency Air Conditioning Repairs
Refrigerant Leaks
If your air conditioner is blowing warm air, it might be low on refrigerant. This is usually caused by a leak in the system's coils or lines. Simply topping off the refrigerant isn’t a solution; the leak must be found and fixed. Our technicians have the tools to locate and seal leaks, ensuring your system cools effectively again.
Frozen Evaporator Coils
Ironically, an AC unit can freeze up, even on the hottest days. This often points to a problem with airflow, typically caused by a clogged air filter or blocked vents. A frozen coil can strain your compressor and lead to costly damage. We can quickly diagnose the cause, thaw the unit safely, and prevent it from happening again.
Electrical Failures
Your air conditioner has a complex network of wires, capacitors, and contactors. Over time, these components can wear out, leading to a system that won’t turn on or cycles on and off erratically. These air conditioner repairs require a professional to ensure they are handled safely and correctly.
Clogged Condensate Drain
Your AC removes humidity from the air, which collects and drains away through a condensate line. If this line becomes clogged with algae or debris, water can back up into your home, causing water damage and shutting down your system. Regular air conditioning maintenance can prevent this, but if it happens, we can clear the blockage swiftly.
