Frozen A-coil
Ice on the coil above the furnace usually comes from low airflow or a refrigerant leak. Running the fan alone helps it thaw.

Overview
Why central AC repair means checking the furnace too
With central air, the outdoor condenser gets most of the attention, but half the system lives indoors. The evaporator coil sits on the furnace, the furnace blower moves all the air, the furnace control board often powers the thermostat circuit and the condensate drains through the furnace room. Good central AC repair checks both ends.
We regularly find central air problems that are really furnace problems: a blower motor that slowed down, a clogged filter starving the coil, a door switch that cuts power or a blown low-voltage fuse on the furnace board. On the outdoor side, capacitors, contactors, fan motors and refrigerant leaks are the common faults. Testing both sides means you pay for the right repair the first time.
Central air problems we see most
Some are outdoors, some are in the furnace room, and some are in between.
Weak furnace blower
A failing blower motor or capacitor cuts airflow, leaving vents weak and the coil freezing.
No signal to cool
Blown furnace fuses, loose thermostat wires or a failed transformer can stop the AC from ever being told to start.
Condenser will not start
Capacitors and contactors fail more than any other outdoor part, especially after a long run of hot days.
Water in the furnace room
A clogged coil drain or failed pump can spill water into the furnace, which risks damaging electronics.
Rooms not cooling evenly
Closed dampers, disconnected ducts in the attic or crawlspace and missing returns can leave some rooms warm.
Included
What our technician tests
- Thermostat call and low-voltage circuit
- Furnace blower speed, motor and capacitor
- Filter, return air and static pressure
- Evaporator coil condition and drain
- Condenser capacitor, contactor and fan
- Refrigerant pressures and temperatures
- Temperature drop across the indoor coil
How it works
Our repair approach
- 1
Hear the history
When did it stop cooling, any noises, any water? Small details narrow the search quickly.
- 2
Test both ends
We check the furnace side and the condenser side rather than assuming the problem is outdoors.
- 3
Explain the fix
You hear what failed, why and what the repair involves, with the price agreed first.
- 4
Verify the result
After repairing, we confirm proper airflow and temperature drop so you know the system is truly working.

Questions homeowners ask us
Still unsure? Call (236) 222-2222 and talk it through with us.
Why is my central air blowing warm air?
Common reasons include a failed outdoor capacitor, a tripped condenser breaker, low refrigerant or a frozen coil. Check the filter and the breakers first. If the outdoor fan is not running while the furnace blower is, call us.
Can a furnace problem stop my AC working?
Yes. The furnace blower moves the cooled air, and the furnace board usually powers the thermostat. A bad blower, a blown fuse or an open door safety switch can all stop central air.
Why is there water around my furnace in summer?
The AC coil produces condensate that drains through a line or pump. If that line clogs or the pump fails, water spills. Turn the system off and call, since water can damage the furnace's electronics.
My upstairs is much hotter than downstairs. Is that a repair issue?
Sometimes. A weak blower, closed dampers or a disconnected duct can cause it. It can also be a design limit of the ductwork, and we can suggest balancing or a ductless head for the top floor.
Is it worth repairing a central AC that is fifteen years old?
Minor electrical repairs often are. Compressor failures, coil leaks or R-22 systems usually are not. We will give you a repair price and a replacement option so you can compare.
