Signs Your Air Conditioner Needs Repair

AC problems stem from various sources, such as worn-out parts, thermostat issues, and blocked airflow.

Common signs you need air conditioning repair include:

• Insufficient cooling or the air conditioner not cooling your house at all.
• Strange noises coming from the air conditioning system.
• Weak airflow from the air ducts or poor circulation.
• Foul smells or odors blowing from the air conditioner.
• Unusually high energy bills.

While you can troubleshoot your AC issues before calling a professional, it’s not possible to diagnose most air conditioning problems on your own. If your AC isn’t working properly, call our technicians for accurate, dependable diagnoses and solutions. We’ll provide a free consultation to discuss your options.

We may recommend installing a new, efficient unit if we believe it to be the most cost-effective way to improve your comfort and reduce your energy bills.

AC Repair vs. AC Replacement: Which One Do You Need?

It’s frustrating when your air conditioner breaks down during the hot South California summer months. You need a reliable AC, but buying a new one is a big financial investment. How do you decide whether to repair or replace your air conditioner?

Here are some signs your AC should be replaced rather than repaired:

• It’s over 10 years old.
• It has electrical problems.
• There’s an abnormal increase in energy costs when it’s running.
• There’s a refrigerant leak.
• It uses a phased-out R-22 refrigerant.
• It needs multiple, costly repairs.

We’ll inspect your air conditioner and give our honest assessment without upselling you on something you don’t need. From minor repairs to a whole system overhaul, we’ll do what’s best for your home.

How To Prevent Costly AC Repairs

Many problems can lead to an air conditioner malfunction, such as clogged condenser coils, a frozen evaporator coil, and a dirty air filter. This is why regular maintenance is so important.

When you schedule annual maintenance on your air conditioner, it allows our technicians to look over the entire system, from the interior of the AC to the ventilation system. During maintenance, we’ll do the following tasks:

• Check refrigerant levels.
• Test the thermostat.
• Change the air filter.
• Clean and inspect all interior and exterior components.
• Tighten electrical connections.

When done regularly, these tune-ups help prevent small things from becoming big issues. Regular maintenance extends the service life and efficiency of your air conditioner.

Timely repairs also save you money. The longer you delay servicing your malfunctioning air conditioner, the worse the problem becomes and the more costly the service will be. Ignoring important maintenance can turn a simple fix into an expensive replacement.
