Common Air Conditioning Problems

While you may only notice the symptom—like a lack of cool air or a strange noise—the cause is often a specific component failure within your system. Understanding the underlying problem can help you see why professional service is necessary. Our technicians are skilled at identifying and fixing all common AC issues.

One of the most frequent problems is a refrigerant leak. Refrigerant is the substance that actively cools the air, and if it leaks out, your system’s performance will steadily decline. 

Another common failure involves the system's electrical components. 

A faulty capacitor or contactor can prevent the motors in your unit from starting, often requiring a straightforward electrical repair

Other issues include clogged condensate drain lines, which can cause water to back up and shut the system down, and dirty evaporator or condenser coils, which prevent the unit from effectively transferring heat and can lead to a total system failure.
