A/C Repair
Typical Air Conditioning Issues
Electrical hitches in ACs can be both perplexing and hazardous. It's like the system's brain is misfiring, causing malfunctions or complete breakdowns.
Electrical Component Failures
Leaking Refrigerant
Imagine trying to drink with a hole in your straw. That's what it's like for an AC with a refrigerant leak. It can't cool effectively and can lead to other complications.
A clogged drain in an AC unit might cause water to back up, potentially damaging the unit or your home. Think of it as a traffic jam – nothing moves, and problems just pile up.
Clogged Drains
How Does Air Conditioning Work?
Air conditioners can often feel like magic. You press a button, and voila! Cool air! But how does this happen? Simply put, air conditioners take in warm air, cool it through a refrigeration cycle, and then expel the cool air into your living space. It's like giving your room a chilly, refreshing drink on a hot day.
Preventative Maintenance: A Crucial Step
Just like how we feel refreshed after a shower, furnaces appreciate regular cleaning too. Regularly removing dirt, dust, and grime ensures smooth operation and longevity.
Cleaning and Replacing Filters
Remember those yearly check-ups at the doctor? Your furnace needs them too! An expert can spot potential issues and fix them before they escalate.

Recognizing Serious Issues
If you're suddenly paying more without changing your heating habits, your furnace might be the culprit. Inefficiencies or malfunctions can cause your system to work harder, costing you more.
Evaluating Repair Costs
Ideally, once a year – preferably before the summer heat kicks in.
How often should I service my AC unit?
It could be loose parts, a malfunctioning fan, or other issues. Best to consult a professional.
Why is my AC making a weird noise?
With proper maintenance, around 12-15 years.
How do I know if my furnace needs replacement, not just repair?
If repair costs approach 50% of the unit's value or it's nearing the end of its lifespan, consider replacement.
Is it worth repairing an old AC or should I replace it?
Some minor issues, like cleaning filters, can be DIY. But for anything more complex, always consult an expert.
