Frequently Asked Questions
How important is sizing a new AC system?
Proper sizing is essential for ensuring energy-efficient operation and system performance. If the system is too small, it will struggle to deliver the comfort you desire. This will increase wear and tear and result in premature system failure.
Conversely, if the unit is too large, it will short-cycle, you’ll lose out on any energy savings, and the unit will cost you more to operate than an appropriately sized system.
Will regular maintenance help reduce repair frequency?
Absolutely! Staying on top of maintenance will improve performance, enhance energy efficiency, and help extend the serviceable lifespan of your HVAC system. It’s a cost-effective investment in comfort, safety, and long-term savings.
Should I replace a faltering AC system?
All ACs will eventually malfunction and fail. Most HVAC systems should be replaced every 10 to 12 years, or if required repairs exceed 50% of the replacement value. If you have an older system whose performance is not improved after maintenance, it may be time to replace your system with a new, energy-efficient model.
Our HVAC technicians can thoroughly assess your system’s condition and help determine whether further maintenance, repairs, or replacement is your best option.
Is it safe to perform DIY air conditioner repairs?
We strongly advise against all DIY air conditioner repairs. While it’s safe to change an air filter, properly diagnosing the cause of the malfunction, sealing coolant leaks, recharging refrigerant, tightening electrical connections, or replacing components requires specialized tools and expertise.
Why won't my air conditioner turn on or initiate operation?
If your air conditioner won’t turn on, there are several potential causes that require investigation. It’s possible that the control board has failed or the unit has somehow become disconnected from the power supply. There may also be a malfunctioning circuit breaker, damaged thermostat, or loose wiring.
Why is my air conditioner short-cycling?
A number of issues can cause short-cycling. Common causes include:
-
- Refrigerant leaks/low refrigerant
- Damaged evaporator coils
- Dirty/clogged air filters
- An improperly installed thermostat
- A faulty low-pressure control switch
