Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is my AC running but not cooling?
- Common causes include low refrigerant, a dirty air filter restricting airflow, a frozen evaporator coil, a failing compressor, or a thermostat issue. We'll diagnose the exact cause and give you a clear repair quote.
- How much does AC repair cost?
- Most AC repairs range from $150 to $600 depending on the issue. Refrigerant recharges and capacitor replacements are on the lower end; compressor or fan motor replacements are higher. We always quote before we start.
- How often should I replace my AC filter?
- Standard 1-inch filters should be replaced every 1-3 months during cooling season. 4-inch media filters last 6-12 months. A dirty filter is the #1 cause of preventable AC problems.
