Running but not cooling
Often low refrigerant, a dirty outdoor coil or a compressor that is not starting. We measure to know which.

Overview
Fast, honest air conditioning repair
When the AC fails on a 33 degree afternoon, you want two things: someone who can come, and someone who will not guess. Our air conditioning repair starts with testing. We check the thermostat signal, high and low voltage, capacitor values, refrigerant pressures and airflow, then tell you exactly what failed and why.
A lot of repairs are quick: a capacitor, a contactor, a clogged drain or a tripped float switch. Others, like a refrigerant leak or a failed compressor, need a bigger conversation. In those cases we lay out repair and replacement options side by side so you can make a calm decision, even if it is the middle of a heat warning.
Common AC problems we fix
Symptoms usually point to a short list of causes, which is where we start testing.
Outdoor unit humming only
A failed capacitor or seized fan motor is the usual culprit. Turn the system off to protect the compressor until we arrive.
Ice on the lines
Ice means the coil is too cold, caused by poor airflow or low charge. Switch to fan only to let it thaw.
Water leaking indoors
Blocked condensate lines, cracked drain pans and failed pumps are common, especially after a long humid spell.
Loud or strange noises
Buzzing, banging or squealing point to electrical faults, loose parts or worn bearings that should be checked soon.
Breaker keeps tripping
This can be a shorted motor, a hard-starting compressor or a wiring fault. Do not keep resetting it.
Included
Before you call, try these
- Confirm the thermostat is on cool and set below room temperature

- Check for a dirty or clogged furnace filter
- Look for a tripped breaker for the AC and the furnace
- Make sure the outdoor disconnect is switched on
- Clear leaves or blown debris from around the outdoor unit
- Check that supply vents and returns are open

Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
Is a broken air conditioner an emergency?
It can be. During a heat warning, indoor temperatures can become dangerous for infants, older adults and people with health conditions. If someone in your home is at risk, call our 24/7 line.
Why does my AC freeze up?
The coil gets too cold when there is not enough warm air passing over it or not enough refrigerant in it. A clogged filter is the easiest cause to rule out. If a fresh filter does not fix it, the system needs testing for a leak or blower problem.
Can you just add refrigerant?
We can, but refrigerant does not get used up. If it is low, there is a leak. We will tell you what we find and the options for locating and repairing it so you are not paying to recharge every summer.
My AC is very old. Should I still repair it?
Sometimes a simple part keeps an older unit going for several more seasons. If the system uses R-22 refrigerant or needs a compressor, replacement is often the better value. We will give you both numbers.
Do you repair ductless mini-splits?
Yes. We read error codes, clean indoor heads and drain lines, and diagnose inverter boards, sensors and refrigerant issues on most common brands.
