Questions about the services
What does an AC repair visit include?
A diagnosis of why the system is not working, an explanation of the cause and a written repair option. The provider should show you the failed part or the test reading and confirm any assessment charge before the visit.
Why does my AC keep tripping the breaker?
A failing capacitor or compressor, a shorted wire, or a dirty condenser coil that makes the system run hot are the usual causes. If a breaker trips again and again, a professional should check it.
Can a repair be warranted?
Parts and labor are covered by many providers for a set period, and the terms should be requested in writing.
Do I need to be home during the repair?
A person has to let the technician in so the indoor unit and thermostat can be reached, although outdoor work may not need that.
Why does my AC freeze?
Restricted airflow or a low charge of refrigerant normally causes ice, so turn the cooling off and ask for a diagnosis.
Is it worth repairing an old AC?
That depends on how old the system is, which refrigerant it uses, what repair is required and how parts are covered under warranty. Both options can be laid out by the technician so you can compare.
Do I need to replace the whole system?
Indoor and outdoor units that do not match seldom reach their rated efficiency, and many manufacturers need matched components in order to honor warranties.
What size AC do I need?
A load calculation for your own house settles it, so do not accept sizing by rule of thumb.
How long does a replacement take?
A day or two is typical for a replacement, with the system, the ducts and the permit schedule affecting the time.
Do I need new ductwork?
Not in every case, yet leaky or undersized ducts hurt comfort and efficiency, which is a good reason to request a duct inspection.
When should I replace instead of repair my AC?
Replacement makes sense when a unit is old, runs on R-22, has a major failure or has repeated problems, and a technician can set repair and replacement side by side for your system.
What happens to the old refrigerant?
Proper disposal and recovery under EPA rules are handled by a certified technician.
What documents should I keep?
Hold on to your service report, the technician's findings and any warranty papers.
How often should I service my AC?
At least once a year, ideally in spring. Heat pumps benefit from two visits a year.
Can I skip the tune-up if the AC works?
A system can underperform with nothing obviously wrong, and a tune-up turns up the weak parts and efficiency losses.
What does a tune-up cost?
Prices vary by provider and system. Ask what the visit includes and compare scope, not just the figure.
Questions from the guides
Why is my AC blowing warm air?
Low refrigerant, a failed compressor, a dirty coil or a wrongly set thermostat are the common causes.
Can a dirty filter stop my AC from cooling?
Yes. It reduces airflow and can freeze the coil.
What if the outdoor unit does not start?
Check the breaker and the disconnect and call for service if it still does not start.
Does the thermostat matter?
It can; the system may stop because of dead batteries or incorrect settings.
Is it worth repairing?
It varies with the cause, how old the system is and what the warranty says.
Can low refrigerant be topped up?
Not until the leak has been found and repaired.
How long does an AC last?
Twelve to fifteen years is typical; good maintenance stretches it, and harsh environments shorten it.
Is it worth repairing a 10-year-old AC?
For a simple part, often yes, but a major failure calls for comparing repair with replacement.
Should I replace my R-22 system?
Often when it leaks, and the technician can compare the options for you.
Can I replace only the outdoor unit?
Equipment that does not match often performs poorly, so ask the contractor about matching the coil.
What if I plan to sell the house?
A working system matters, but replacement may not be needed. Ask a real estate professional.
How do I know the quote is fair?
Line up the scopes, the equipment, the warranties and the load calculation.
How many square feet does a ton cover?
No number can be relied on, because insulation, windows, ducts and climate all make it vary.
Can I size an AC myself?
Details about the house are needed for a calculation, so ask a contractor for Manual J.
Do I need a bigger AC if I add rooms?
A fresh load calculation will answer that.
What if my old AC was too small?
Request a calculation, since the house may have changed.
