Common A/C Problems
Experiencing an Air Conditioning Issue?
If you’re having problems with your air conditioning system, it may be experiencing one of the common home A/C repair issues below.
Refrigerant Leak
Air conditioners use refrigerant, which enables the system to run efficiently, releasing heat from the air to cool it. They are charged with refrigerant upon installation. Nevertheless, a poor charge or a refrigerant leak can cause the system’s refrigerant level to drop below the proper amount needed.
It is important that the technician performing your home AC repair charges your AC with the proper amount of refrigerant. The manufacturer will specify this amount — correct refrigerant charge allows your cooling system to perform accurately and efficiently.
Drainage Issues
An air conditioner’s cooling process causes condensation, which usually flows away from the equipment. However, if there is a clog in the drip pan or condensate drain lines, or if outdoor humidity levels are high, moisture may back up into your air conditioning equipment. Excess condensation will increase indoor humidity levels and affect the air conditioner’s performance negatively. It can also cause damage to your unit’s various components.
To fix this, we inspect the drip pan and all condensate lines. The lines will be cleared of clogs, and may be treated for algae growth to prevent future clogs. If the AC’s components have been damaged, we show you and offer you an estimate to repair the damaged equipment.
Broken Compressor Fan
Your home cooling system’s outside unit houses your fan, compressor and condenser coils. These essential parts work to release heat from the air, transferring it out of your home to produce a cool indoor climate inside. If the outdoor fan isn’t working properly, the heat transfer process is inhibited. This prevents your AC from adequately cooling your residence, while a broken fan can cause the unit’s compressor to overheat. An overheated compressor could trip the air conditioner’s safety features, causing your air conditioner to shut down. Additionally, overheating can also damage the compressor itself, which is an expensive part, requiring an A/C repair or compressor replacement.
If you call us, we can diagnose the issue preventing the outdoor fan from working like it should. Your fan will be replaced or repaired depending on your need, and the outdoor unit will be inspected to assess whether the issue has caused further system damage.
Frozen Condenser Coils
If your system’s condenser coils freeze up, your A/C will fail to run properly. Poor airflow through your cooling system can cause ice to form on the AC coils. Usually, blockages are the culprit here — like dirty air filters or blocked return air ducts. Low refrigerant could also be the reason for frozen coils, which means you’ll need a professional to recharge your refrigerant levels. In any case, our AC repair technicians can diagnose the problem causing frozen coils, resolve it, and safely thaw your coils to restore cooling in your home.

How to Troubleshoot Your Air Conditioner
A/C Won’t Turn On
- Make sure it’s getting power from the electrical panel.
Reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse. - Check your thermostat settings to make sure it’s set on “cool” and not set to “off” or “heat.”
- Check for excessive water in your condensate overflow tray. There may be a sensor on your tray that turns the unit off when water pools up.
- Check that all switches in and around the air conditioner are set to the “on” position, including the external safety switch that’s typically located near the condensing unit.
- Check to make sure the blower door on the air handler is securely closed.
My Air Conditioner is On But Isn’t Cooling
- Check the thermostat to make sure it’s working properly.
Take a look at the condenser to see if it’s dirty or blocked. If so, clean it and remove the blockage. The condenser can become blocked by tall weeds, grass, or other airborne debris. - Clean and/or change your filter (We recommend once a quarter.)
See if any ice has formed on the coils. If so, turn the fan on to melt it. - Check and/or clean the outdoor compressor. You could have a faulty compressor or an inadequate amount of refrigerant in the system, which would require a professional to fix.
Airflow Is Weak
- Make sure your A/C air filter is clean. If it’s dirty, clean or replaces it.
- Check all your ductwork to make sure it’s not disconnected, including ductwork that may be difficult to reach, like in your attic, basement, and crawl spaces. Repair or connect as needed. If professional help is needed, call us.
- Check register dampers on vents in the rooms to make sure they are set to an open position.
