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.

Having trouble with the remote and to operate our mini split cassette unit. Within 5min Mario had the unit up and running as well as how the unit with remote works efficiently. Mario also went to bat for us to have the condenser mounted on the Guest House rather than in the dirt inches away from our brow ditch.Thanks Mario

Guthrie and Sons installed our heating/AC unit in 2022 and so I called them for their help with an issue I was having. The technician Jonathan came out and checked all of the units (4) and the outside control panel and all is good. We could not replicate the (small) issue and determined it to be an unknown cause. Glad Jonathan came out, all units are now working perfectly. Thank you to Guthrie and Sons!!

I had a really positive experience with Guthrie & Sons. I worked with two techs, Jonathan and Zach, and two people over the phone, Mallory and Makenzie. Jonathan and Zach were super helpful, informative and patient with all of my questions. Mallory and Makenzie were also very helpful, patient and accommodating as they enabled a fix to my heater issue in a timely manner. Would 100% recommend their services!
