Sometimes, when an air conditioner needs repair, it’s not always obvious. Some AC units continue to work, they just function less efficiently than they could.
Most AC unit issues can be boiled down to around ten problems:
- Dirty filter
- Thermostat malfunctions
- Refrigerant leaks
- Breaker or fuse issues
- Broken capacitor
- Drainage issues
- Evaporator coil issues
- Condenser coil problems
- Nonfunctioning compressor
- Broken contactor
If you’ve already replaced your air filter and ensured your thermostat is on, it may be time to contact a professional for further investigation. Our air conditioning repair team in Humble, TX is here to help!
When to Repair vs. Replace your AC
With proper maintenance, air conditioners can last for years. However, no matter how diligent you are, sometimes there’s no fixing your old unit. Most air conditioners last anywhere from 15-20 years. If your unit is any older than that, it’s possible you might be spending more on fixing your unit than you need to. Aire Serv of Kingwood can help you determine whether it would be less expensive to continue maintaining and fixing your current AC unit or whether it would be cheaper to replace the unit completely.
There are also some conditions in a household that could cause your unit to work harder than it normally should. If the air filters aren’t changed regularly, your AC unit will be working harder to blow air through the filters than they would if the filters were clean, putting further strain on your system. Households and businesses with pets can also be an issue. Many pets shed on a regular basis, especially as we get closer to the summer months. Extra dander in the air can clog up your air filters faster, putting additional pressure on your AC unit.
Once our team arrives at your home or business, our Humble AC repair technicians will be able to inspect your air conditioner and give you an estimate on what it would cost to fix the unit. If our Humble AC repair team determines that you might need a replacement, we can help you choose a new model that suits your budget and your needs. We can also install your new air conditioning unit! Whatever you decide, we will only charge you for our service, not for the hours we spend completing it.
