FAQs
How can I tell if my AC’s failure is a simple capacitor issue or a more serious compressor breakdown?
If you hear a persistent humming or “clicking” sound from your outdoor unit but the fan isn’t spinning, it often indicates a failed start capacitor, which is a relatively quick and affordable repair.
However, if the unit trips your circuit breaker immediately upon starting or makes a loud clanking noise, the compressor itself may have suffered a mechanical failure, which typically requires a more extensive component replacement.
Why is my air conditioner blowing air that is cool but not "cold" enough to reach the thermostat setting?
This “sub-par” cooling is frequently caused by a slight refrigerant leak or a heavily restricted evaporator coil, which prevents proper heat exchange. Our technicians use digital gauges to check the system’s “subcooling” and “superheat” levels, allowing us to pinpoint whether the system needs a refrigerant recharge or a deep professional cleaning to restore its full cooling capacity.
Is it safe to keep running my AC if I notice a small water leak around the indoor unit?
You should turn the system off immediately, as a water leak usually indicates a clogged primary condensate drain or a frozen evaporator coil that is beginning to melt. Continuing to run the unit can result in expensive water damage to your home’s structure or cause water to overflow into the furnace’s sensitive electrical components, leading to much more costly repairs.
Can a faulty outdoor fan motor cause my entire AC system to shut down?
Yes, if the outdoor fan motor fails, the condenser cannot dissipate heat, causing the refrigerant temperature and pressure to skyrocket. Most modern units have a high-pressure safety switch that will “lock out” the system to prevent the compressor from overheating and burning out; we can replace the motor and reset these safety controls to get your system running safely again.
