Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Should an AC Repair Take?
The duration of an AC repair largely depends on the complexity of the issue identified during the diagnostic process. Simple repairs, such as replacing a capacitor or resetting a tripped breaker, can often be completed in under one hour. More complex fixes, such as sealing a refrigerant leak or replacing a major motor, typically take between two to four hours. If a specialized part needs to be ordered, the repair time will be extended by several days for delivery. Your technician will provide a precise time estimate once they diagnose the specific problem with your unit.
Is It Better to Repair or Replace My AC?
Deciding between repair and replacement often comes down to the $5,000 Rule and the unit's age. Multiply the cost of the repair by the system's age; if that number exceeds $5,000, replacement is usually the wiser financial choice. If your unit is over 10 to 15 years old and the repair cost is substantial, the efficiency gains from a new unit make replacement a worthwhile option. However, if the AC is less than 10 years old and the issue is a minor component failure, repair is generally recommended. We can provide an honest assessment of both options to help you choose the most cost-effective solution.
Can I Fix My AC on My Own?
As a homeowner, you can and should handle simple, non-technical AC maintenance tasks. These DIY tasks include consistently changing dirty air filters and clearing the outdoor condenser unit of debris and foliage. However, attempting complex repairs involving refrigerant, electrical wiring, or specialized internal components is strongly discouraged. Such work can be dangerous, cause further damage to the system, and will typically void the manufacturer’s warranty. Always call a professional technician for diagnostics and any repair that goes beyond simple cleaning or filter changes.
How Can I Prevent AC Issues in the Future?
The best strategy for preventing future AC issues is to commit to annual professional maintenance. Schedule a thorough tune-up every spring to ensure your unit is clean, properly lubricated, and operating at peak efficiency before the cooling season begins. Homeowners must also consistently replace or clean the air filter every one to three months to maintain strong airflow and reduce strain on the system. Additionally, routinely inspect and clear the condensate drain line to prevent water damage and system shutdowns. We also offer comprehensive maintenance plans to ensure your AC runs smoothly throughout the year. These simple steps significantly extend the lifespan of your unit and minimize the risk of emergency breakdowns.
