Signs You Need AC Repair

Recognizing the early signs that your air conditioner needs repair can help prevent minor problems from becoming major, costly repairs. Some signs your air conditioner could need repair include:

  • Lack of cool air: This is the easiest sign to spot. If your system struggles to blow cool air, it could be a sign that a component of your AC is starting to fail.
  • Short-cycling: This is when your AC starts a cooling cycle, shuts down too soon, then starts again a short time later. Typically, your system will undergo three cooling cycles per hour, each lasting about 10 minutes. With a short-cycle, the cycle of your compressor turning on and off is shorter than 10 minutes. This causes excessive wear and tear. 
  • Rising energy bills: If you set your thermostat to a constant temperature but your energy bills start to rise, this could be a sign that your AC is working too hard to try to keep your home cool. 
  • Aging system: A properly maintained AC has an expected lifespan of 10 to 15 years. As your unit starts to near the end of its lifespan, you’ll notice it doesn’t perform as well as it used to. 

Do I Need an Air Conditioning Repair or Replacement?

Deciding whether to repair or replace your air conditioning system can be a difficult decision for homeowners. While repairs can extend the life of your unit, there comes a point when replacement becomes the more cost-effective and efficient option. 

Consider these factors when making your decision:

  • Your AC is five years old: Consider repairing your system to restore it back to working order.
  • Your AC is 12 years old with no breakdowns: Consider repairing your system to restore it back to working order.
  • Your AC is 12 years old with occasional or multiple breakdowns: Consider repairing your system as a temporary “Band-Aid” solution. Consider replacement as soon as it’s clear that it may fail soon.
  • Your AC is 30 years old: Consider replacing your system. A “Band-Aid” repair may not be possible, as it can be hard to find replacement parts for older cooling systems.

Your technician, Jonathan Santana was awesome. My husband was not home and Jonathan was very understanding. Even though there was a mix up with the service connection from Rheem, Jonathan assisted without hesitation. His help made my follow up conversation with Rheem much more productive. Please thank Jonathan for me.Best regards, Lisa

I had a very good experience with them installing a heat pump to complement our gas furnace. Vlad, the project manager, did the initial site review and inspected the existing setup in detail. He made sure that all our concerns about the project as well as about the current system were addressed (we did not have an AC before so it was a more complicated install). Price was comparable to other quotes we got -- but the proposed systems were closer to what we actually wanted. We even got a post-season promotion so the choice was easy.Kareem and his install crew were also great -- he told me in detail what they were going to do and answered all my questions about where and how things are going to go. They were working hard all day to finish the project and making sure everything was cleaned up at the end.Highly recommend!
