COMMON FAILURES
What actually goes wrong
These are the faults we are called out for most often across Montgomery County. Each one below is something we have diagnosed and repaired, not a list copied from a manual. Most are diagnosed on the first visit.
MOST COMMON AC SERVICE CALLS
Compressor drawing excessive amps
A failing compressor damages its own capacitors before it stops. We replaced one in Ambler that was pulling well over spec and taking the capacitors with it.
Refrigerant leaks
Low refrigerant is a symptom, not a fault. Refrigerant is not consumed — if it is low, it is escaping. We find and seal the leak before recharging.
Outdoor unit will not start
The indoor fan runs, the condenser stays silent. Usually a capacitor, contactor or breaker, and one of the most frequent calls we take.
Restricted airflow
A filter too dense for the system starves it and can freeze the coil. One Blue Bell no-cool call was solved by changing the filter, not the equipment.
WHAT A REPAIR VISIT INCLUDES
What you get when we come out
Diagnosis before a quote
We find the fault and tell you what it is. No price goes on paper before we know what is wrong.
A 21-point inspection
Our service calls cover the whole system, not only the part that failed. It is how a second problem gets caught before it becomes a second call.
A written price upfront
You see the cost before work begins. No hidden fees and no surprise invoice afterwards.
Honest repair-or-replace advice
If the unit has years left in it we say so. If replacing is the better value we explain why rather than simply quoting it.
Refrigerant handled properly
Leak detection, repair and recharge, with recovery handled under EPA refrigerant rules.
Electrical components tested
Capacitors, contactors, relays and control boards checked and replaced where needed — these are the parts that fail most.
BEFORE YOU CALL
Five minutes that sometimes solves it
01
Check the thermostat
Set to COOL, fan on AUTO, and the target below the room reading. It sounds obvious and it accounts for a fair number of calls.
02
Check both breakers
The air handler and the condenser often sit on separate circuits. A trip on either stops cooling.
03
Check the filter
A blocked filter is the most common cause of poor cooling and can freeze the indoor coil solid.
04
Look at the outdoor unit
Is the fan turning? Is the cabinet clear of leaves and growth? It wants about two feet of clearance all round.
05
Check the condensate drain
Many systems have a float switch that deliberately cuts cooling when the drain backs up.
06
If the coil is iced, run FAN only
Running the compressor against a frozen coil can destroy it. Switch to fan, let it thaw, then call us.
WHERE WE WORK
FAQ
Common questions answered
How soon can someone come out?
Our line is answered 24/7 and same-day service is available. When we can actually be at your house depends on the day and where you are, so call and we will tell you honestly rather than give you a window we cannot keep.
My system is low on refrigerant. Can you just top it up?
We can, but we would rather find the leak. Refrigerant does not get used up, so a system that is low is losing it somewhere. Recharging without repairing means the same call again next season.
Is it worth repairing an older air conditioner?
Often, yes. It depends on the fault, the age of the unit and what the repair costs against a replacement. We have repaired systems other companies had written off, and we have also told homeowners their equipment had good years left. The estimate is free either way.
