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
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
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 Twin Lakes 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.
