Central AC Repair

Common AC problems we diagnose and fix:

  • AC running but not cooling, or blowing warm air
  • Outdoor unit not turning on
  • Frozen coils or ice on refrigerant lines
  • Refrigerant leaks
  • Water leaking from the indoor unit or a clogged condensate drain
  • Short cycling, where the system turns on and off frequently
  • Uneven cooling from room to room
  • Loud buzzing, rattling or grinding
  • Failed capacitors, contactors and fan motors

Central AC Replacement and Installation

If your system is 12 to 15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or still runs on R-22 refrigerant, replacement usually costs less over time than keeping it running. New systems use lower-impact refrigerants such as R-454B and R-32 and are significantly more efficient than units from a decade ago.

We size every system with a load calculation that accounts for square footage, insulation, windows and layout. An oversized system short-cycles and leaves the house clammy; an undersized one runs nonstop. We also check your ductwork, because a new AC can’t perform with leaky or undersized ducts.

AC Tune-Ups and Maintenance

A spring tune-up is the best way to avoid a breakdown on the hottest day of the year. Our AC maintenance includes cleaning the condenser and evaporator coils, checking refrigerant charge, testing capacitors, contactors and motors, clearing condensate drains, changing filters, checking airflow and thermostat operation, and inspecting accessible ductwork. See our maintenance plans.

No Ductwork? Consider Ductless

If your home heats with radiators or baseboard and has no ducts, a ductless mini split is often the easiest way to add air conditioning. A heat pump can provide both cooling and efficient heating.
