What air conditioning repair involves
Most no-cooling calls come down to a handful of failures. We work through them in order of likelihood and cost, cheapest and most probable first.
Central air diagnosis and repair — capacitors, contactors, fan motors, refrigerant leaks and drainage.
Common problems and warning signs
- 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
What the repair involves
We finish by verifying superheat and subcooling, temperature split across the coil, and that condensate actually drains where it should.
Repair or replace?
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 Minisink Hills 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.
