What air conditioning repair involves
AC repair means checking the electrical side (capacitor, contactor, wiring), the mechanical side (compressor, fan motors), the refrigerant circuit (charge, leaks, metering device) and the air side (filter, coil, ductwork, drainage).
Central air diagnosis and repair — capacitors, contactors, fan motors, refrigerant leaks and drainage.
Signs you need service
- AC runs nonstop and never reaches the thermostat setting
- Weak airflow at the registers
- Loud buzzing at the outdoor unit
- Musty smell when the system starts
- Upstairs is hot while downstairs is cold
The repair itself
For refrigerant problems we find and repair the leak, then weigh in the correct charge. Topping off a leaking system is a bill you get to pay again next year.
When replacement makes sense
R-22 systems, failed compressors and units past 15 years with repeated repairs are the cases where replacement is genuinely the better value. We'll show the math.
Questions from Lackawaxen homeowners
- Why does my AC freeze up?
- Almost always low airflow or low refrigerant. Shut it off, let it thaw, change the filter, then call us.
- Can you just add refrigerant?
- We can, but low refrigerant means a leak. We'd rather find it than sell you the same repair every summer.
