Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common signs that my AC needs repair?
Common signs include no response from your AC, ineffective cooling, increased utility bills, leaks around the unit, frozen coils, or strange sounds and smells.
Why is my AC blowing warm air?
Warm air could indicate issues such as low refrigerant levels, a malfunctioning compressor, or a clogged air filter. Professional diagnostics can pinpoint the problem.
What causes frozen coils in an air conditioner?
Frozen coils can be caused by restricted airflow, low refrigerant levels, or dirty filters. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent further damage.

AC filters should be replaced every 1-3 months, depending on usage and the type of filter. Regular replacement ensures proper airflow and system efficiency.

Unusual noises, such as grinding, banging, or squealing, may indicate issues with the motor, loose parts, or a failing compressor. These should be checked immediately.
