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.

Anthony was very professional and communicative. He was easy to work with in setting up my hear pump installation project. I really appreciated the fact that he wasn't pushing a "hard sell" as some representatives from other companies did. When I had questions an needed quote options he was super-responsive and helpful. Great experience!When Carson, Isaiah, and Israel came your to perform the work, they were punctual, friendly, and respectful. When I expressed concerns or had questions, they addressed them immediately and effectively. Their work was outstanding, the job looks great and the system works well. I have already recommended Guthrie & Sons to other people.Thanks, again, for everything.

We’ve worked with a few Heating and Air company’s in the past at this was far and away the best we’ve worked with. The technician was very professional and friendly, quick with the work but took his time to explain and answer questions. Reasonable pricing and was impress how organized the whole process was. Hands down the best experience with any company in this field!

The removal of the old direct Heating and ducting went without a hitch. The installation of the new air conditioning and heating unit went very smoothly and I was impressed with every one of the workers. They were friendly and very knowledgeable. They were well equipped to deal with any process problems. I give five stars for this group.As part of the installation contract, Guthrie and Sons sent a worker named Wayne to replace the filter and check our air conditioning condenser. He was friendly and knowledgeable and even slipped on the covers over his shoes as he came through the house. The work was performed very quickly. Another five star performance by Guthrie and Sons.Zack visited today for yearly maintenance. Filter changed out and the unit is working optimally. We'll done.Daniel, this morning, replaced the filter and verified the furnace is in working order and providing proper heat throughout our home. Another skilled and friendly 5 star visit.

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
