Signs you need to call AC Expert for Repair or Replacement

Unexpected AC and cooling system failures are uncommon, and you can expect your AC to last around 12 years with regular maintenance. Typically, your system will exhibit warning signs before it stops working entirely requiring repairs or replacement. Paying attention to these signs is crucial, as early repairs can prevent further damage to your cooling system.

• The warranty has expired.
• It needs frequent and costly repairs.
• The unit hums but refuses to turn on
• Unresponsive to thermostat controls

Air Conditioning FAQs

• What is the average lifespan of an AC system? Air conditioning units typically last between 10-15 years, but this depends on several factors including the manufacturer, how often you schedule maintenance each year, how often it is used, and the climate.
• Why is my AC freezing up? Air conditioning systems can freeze up due for several reasons, spanning from low refrigerant levels, faulty or damaged blower fans, to dirty air filters and setting the temperature too low.
• Why us my AC short cycling? Similar to systems freezing up, short cycling can be caused by different issues such as clogged air filters, damaged evaporator coils, improper sizing, leaking or low refrigerant, holes in the ventilation system, or miscalibration of your thermostat.
• Why are my AC costs so high? If your energy bills are high you might need to schedule regular maintenance, check if your home insulation can be improved, replace your dirty or old air filter, check if your thermostat needs to be repaired or recalibrated, or you might have old or damaged parts in your AC system. Sometimes repairs or replacements may be required but contact us to schedule an appointment for the best solution.
• Should I purchase an AC unit with a high SEER rating? Yes. A higher SEER rating means greater energy efficiency. Although units with high SEER ratings come with a higher upfront cost, the long-term savings can accumulate quickly, making them a smart investment.
• What is the most efficient thermostat setting for air conditioning? In order to keep your home comfortable and save money, the U.S. Department of Energy recommends setting your thermostat between 74 degrees to 78 degrees Fahrenheit. However, if you like your home at a cooler temperature, consider adjusting your thermostat when you are away at work, or installing a smart thermostat that can regulate the temperature in different rooms or time of the day.
