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.

A huge shout out to Zach Mendoza and Guthrie & Sons! I called Guthrie yesterday when our heat failed to work. They were able to arrange an appointment for this afternoon. Zach arrived on time, diagnosed the issue and quickly resolved the problem. He is very friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him and his company.

This review pertains to the process in receiving a quote for a HVAC system for a residential dwelling. We welcomed Anthony A. to discuss the potential renewal of our HVAC system. We were in the phase where one seeks different quotes and gain a better understanding of the various options available. Anthony was articulate, explained the options with the pro’s and con’s of each option. He was very professional and personable in getting to know our needs.We will certainly keep his proposal in consideration when we make our decision.Lastly, the appointment process was seem less and punctual.

I've had an ongoing issue with my HVAC not working properly. Two other professionals came by and said I needed expensive upgrades, without fixing the issue. Zach Mendoza from Guthrie & Sons finally fixed the issue. He was polite, knowledgeable and able to fix the issue within minutes without trying to up-sell me. I have confidence that they can do the job.

The time came for us to replace our 20+ year old AC and heater and the overwhelming search for the right company to hire began. I met with 8 companies and after meeting Vlad I just knew I had found the company to hire. Vlad was professional and honest. He never tried to upsell us and was very thorough in explaining all of our options. He simply explained the pros and cons of each system and left the decision to us. The one thing I learned after doing all of my HVAC research is not to focus on the price although G&S was the very competitive. But instead focus on the company you feel will do the best installation. The way G&S provided a detailed interactive proposal breaking down all the work that will be done really put my mind at ease. We have our install scheduled for next week so that will be the true test. I will be updating this review after the installation is done but I can say that I feel very confident they will go above and beyond to ensure the job is done right!

We decided to get central air conditioning after the last 2 summers. After getting quotes from 3 HVAC companies, we decided on G&S. They installed our heater a couple of years ago and did a great job. This time was no different. They showed up promptly, took care to cover the floors, and got right to work. There were 3 installers; Blake, Adam, and Luke ( I think I got the names right!) They each had a job to do and went about it very professionally and with great attitudes. They finished and cleaned up. It was a great experience. I recommend giving G&S a try when looking for heating or AC.
