Air Conditioning Repair

The summer heat is here and in full swing. People are headed out for hikes, barbeques and if you own a pool, staying cool is relatively easy. But what about when the air conditioner breaks down? This is not the time nor place for that to happen.

So, what to do? Central air conditioners have two main components: the condenser and the evaporator. The condenser is responsible for releasing the heat from your home, while the evaporator does the opposite by taking in the heat. If either of these components break down, it can cause your air conditioner to stop working properly.

If you have noticed that your air conditioner is not working as well as it used to, it may be time for a repair. There are a few things you can do to troubleshoot the problem before calling a professional.

First, check the air filter and make sure it is clean. A dirty air filter can restrict air flow and cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to.

Second, make sure the thermostat is set to the correct temperature. If the thermostat is set too low, the air conditioner will operate longer and use more energy than necessary.

Finally, check for any obstruction around the air conditioner unit that could be blocking air flow.

If you have checked all of these things and your air conditioner is still not working properly, it may be time for a repair or replacement. When deciding whether to repair or replace your air conditioner, there are a few things to consider. First, the age of your air conditioner. If your air conditioner is more than 10 years old, it may be time to start shopping for a replacement. Second, the cost of the repair.

If the cost of the repair is more than half the cost of a new air conditioner, it is probably time to replace the unit. Finally, the efficiency of your air conditioner. If your air conditioner is not as efficient as it used to be, it may be time for a replacement.

We put together a short checklist for you to reference if you find yourself making a decision on whether to repair or replace your air conditioning system.

1. The age of your air conditioner. If your unit is more than 10 years old, it may be time to start thinking about replacing it.
2. The efficiency of your air conditioner. Older units are not as efficient as newer ones, so a replacement may help you save money on your energy bills.
3. The repair cost. Sometimes, it can be more expensive to repair an older unit than it would be to replace it with a new one.
4. The frequency of repairs. If you find yourself needing to repair your air conditioner on a regular basis, it may be time for a replacement.
5. Your comfort level. Ultimately, the decision to repair or replace your air conditioner is up to you. If you’re not comfortable with the idea of replacing your air conditioner, then repairing it may be the best option for you.

Still have questions? Here are a couple of frequently asked questions we hear from time to time.

The answer to this question depends on a few factors. First, consider the cost of the repair. If the repair is going to be expensive, it may not be worth it to repair the unit. Second, consider the age of your air conditioner. If your unit is more than 10 years old, it may be time to start thinking about replacing it. Finally, consider the efficiency of your air conditioner. If your unit is not as efficient as it used to be, it may be time for a replacement.

Some common air conditioning problems include a dirty air filter, a thermostat that is set too low, or an obstruction around the air conditioner unit that is blocking air flow. If you have checked all of these things and your air conditioner is still not working properly, it may be time for a repair or replacement.
