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.
What we usually get called for
- Outdoor unit runs but the air inside isn't cold
- Air handler hums and the fan won't start
- Ice on the indoor coil or the refrigerant line
- Water around the air handler or a stained ceiling below it
- System trips the breaker
How we repair it
Capacitors, contactors, fan motors, float switches, thermostats and clogged drains cover the majority of what we fix. Those are same-visit repairs with parts on the truck.
If it's time for new equipment
If a repair keeps the system running reliably for several more seasons, that's what we recommend — even when a replacement would be the bigger ticket for us.
Questions from Stanhope 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.
