Common Air Conditioning Repair Problems

Modern air conditioning systems are equipped with advanced technology and controls to ensure efficiency and provide special features. If you're experiencing issues such as poor cooling, no cooling, or unusual noises, it's likely time for a thorough diagnosis and repair. Before reaching out to us, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take:

• Check your circuit breakers or fuses to ensure they haven't tripped or blown.
  
• Verify that the thermostat is set correctly and that the batteries are good.
  
• Inspect the air filter as a heavily clogged filter can cause various symptoms and potentially lead to significant damage.
• Keep in mind that when an air conditioner shuts off for any reason, it may have built-in protection circuitry that prevents immediate reactivation. This delay can range from 2 to 10 minutes.

If these initial checks don’t seem to do the trick, it’s time to call in the professionals. Call us at (201) 568-6269, 24 hours a day, 7 a week.

Choose Us for Reliable AC Expertise

It's important to recognize that as temperatures rise, your air conditioner works harder to maintain your desired temperature. If your system is undersized or overworked, it may struggle and even freeze up on the hottest days.

In addition to temperature control, your air conditioner also plays a crucial role in managing moisture. It extracts moisture from the air and drains it outside. If you notice excessive moisture accumulation on surfaces like windows, countertops, or walls, it could be a sign of a malfunctioning system. 

Problems with humidity control can make your home feel hot and muggy, even if the thermostat reads the correct temperature.

Before considering turning down the temperature or purchasing a dehumidifier, it's important to investigate and identify any underlying issues. Prompt AC services from our experienced air conditioning contractor can help improve output and efficiency.

Other signs of a potential problem could be if you start hearing abnormal noises coming from your AC system. Banging sounds could indicate a loose or broken part, potentially requiring a part replacement. An annoying buzzing sound might be caused by loose parts, a broken fan motor, or electrical component failure.

One of the most common issues is when your AC system fails to produce cool air and the airflow feels weak overall. If you notice this problem, it is time to call in a professional. We are here to help diagnose and resolve any issues with your unit promptly.

Trust us for reliable service and expertise in addressing any concerns or problems with your AC system. We will diagnose the problem accurately and offer effective solutions for better performance and humidity control in your home.

Regular air conditioning services, even for systems in good condition, can provide significant benefits. We recommend scheduling a yearly tune-up for your cooling system in the spring before the summer heat arrives. This maintenance task is essential for improving the efficiency of your air conditioner.

Similarly, we suggest scheduling service for your heating system in the fall to ensure optimal performance during the colder months. Check out our heating section for more info.

Annual maintenance helps minimize the risk of problems and gives you peace of mind knowing that your system is ready for the season ahead. Our AC contractors can quickly inspect and test your system to ensure proper function. By starting on the right foot with a well-maintained system, you can reduce the chances of unexpected breakdowns or having to schedule emergency repairs on extremely hot days.

Our Services Include:

Some of the services we perform are:

• Clean or replace your air filters and replace UV bulbs if needed. This ensures proper airflow and prevents dust buildup. 
• Check and clean the condenser coils to remove any dirt or debris that can hinder heat transfer.
• Inspect and clean the evaporator coils to prevent mold or dirt accumulation that can reduce cooling efficiency.
• Check and tighten electrical connections to ensure safe operation and prevent overheating. 
• Check/adjust and replace drive belts, inspect pulleys, motor shafts, and all mechanical moving parts for excessive wear.
• Lubricate moving parts, such as motor bearings, to reduce friction and extend their lifespan.
• Test thermostat settings for accuracy and calibrate if necessary for precise temperature control.
• Clean and inspect the condensate drain line for blockages that can cause water leaks or damage.
