Common problems

Air conditioning problems we fix

AC blowing warm air

Most often a failed run capacitor or contactor at the outdoor unit, a dirty condenser coil, or low refrigerant from a leak. A capacitor is a same-visit fix; a leak needs a search before a recharge.

Book a tech

AC fan not spinning

Usually the capacitor or the fan motor. Running the system this way overheats the compressor, so switch it off at the thermostat until we arrive.

Book a tech

AC freezing up

Restricted airflow (a clogged filter, a closed return, a weak blower) or low charge. Turn the system to fan-only to thaw it, then have the cause fixed, or it will freeze again.

Book a tech

AC leaking water

A clogged condensate drain or a cracked drain pan, very common in attic air handlers. We clear and flush the line and check the safety float switch.

Book a tech

AC won't turn on or trips the breaker

A shorted compressor winding, a failing contactor or a loose connection. Do not keep resetting the breaker; it can damage the compressor.

Book a tech

AC short cycling or high bills

An oversized unit, a thermostat in the wrong spot, a dirty coil or low charge. We measure temperature split and pressures before guessing.

Before you call: AC blowing warm air?

  1. Thermostat on Cool Set it a few degrees below room temperature, and replace its batteries if the screen is faint.
  2. Swap a dirty filter A gray, clogged filter starves airflow and can freeze the indoor coil.
  3. Reset the breaker once If the AC breaker trips again, leave it off and call us.

FAQ

AC repair: answers from our techs

Something else on your mind? Call (818) 351-1443 and a real person picks up.

How fast can you come?

Inside 10 miles of Burbank we usually arrive the same day, often within one to two hours. Further out we hold a two-hour window for you. You see real open windows after entering your ZIP code.

Do you fix all brands?

Yes: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, Daikin, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu and older systems, including units that still run on R-22.

Is it worth repairing an old AC?

If the system is under about 12 years old and the repair is a part like a capacitor, motor or drain, repair is almost always cheaper. If the compressor or coil fails on an older R-22 system, we show you both prices side by side.

Do you charge extra on weekends?

Scheduled windows cost the same every day of the week. After-hours emergency calls have a posted emergency fee that we tell you before we dispatch.

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

The most common causes in LA are a failed capacitor (the outdoor fan stops), a dirty condenser coil after a dusty fall, a clogged filter, or a refrigerant leak. A technician can tell which in about 30 minutes.
