What to expect

What our central air conditioning service involves

1

Check airflow

We look at the filter, blower and coil. Many cooling problems start with blocked air.

2

Test the outdoor unit

We check the capacitor, contactor, fan motor and compressor.

3

Check refrigerant

If the charge is low, we look for the leak instead of just adding more.

4

Confirm the cooling

We measure the air temperature at the vents and make sure the drain flows.

Your options

Choosing the right fix

Repair

Many AC problems are a single part, such as a capacitor, fan motor or clogged drain line.

Seasonal service

A spring checkup cleans the coils and catches weak parts before the first heat wave.

New system

If your AC is old, uses outdated refrigerant or needs a costly repair, a new system may cost less over time.

Every home is different. We explain the trade-offs so you can choose with confidence. If you are weighing a new system, see replacement and conversions.

Questions

Central air conditioning questions

Why does my AC run but not cool?

A dirty filter, an iced coil, low refrigerant or a failed outdoor part are common causes. Turn the system off if you see ice, and ask for service.

Can you just add refrigerant?

Refrigerant does not get used up. If it is low, there is a leak. EPA rules control how technicians handle refrigerant, so a proper repair finds the leak first.

Should I replace my furnace and AC at the same time?

Not always. It can make sense when both are old, because the parts are designed to work together. We will tell you if your furnace is fine to keep.
