Common causes include a tripped breaker, blown capacitor or contactor  which can prevent the AC unit from starting. Start by checking the breaker and fuse box, then move to the thermostat settings. If those seem fine, call for professional repair.

If your air conditioner is blowing warm air, it could be due to low refrigerant, a dirty air filter, or issues with the compressor or evaporator coil. Start by checking and replacing the air filter. If the problem continues, call for professional AC repair.

This issue, known as short cycling, can often be caused by a dirty air filter or refrigerant issues. Start by replacing your air filter. If the problem continues, it might be due to refrigerant leaks or other system issues. In that case, it’s best to have a professional check the ac unit.

One of the most common causes of indoor AC leaks is a clogged condensate drain line, which can be cleared with a vacuum or a pipe cleaner. Another common cause is low refrigerant levels, leading to coil freezing and subsequent thawing, can also cause leaks. Last cause is a dirty air filter which causes the indoor AC unit to freeze. Make sure your filter is clear and unobstructed. If the simple fixes don’t work, it’s best to call a professional to inspect and repair the system.

If your air conditioner is freezing up, it’s often due to airflow problems or low refrigerant levels. Start by replacing the air filter to ensure proper airflow. Then turn fan on in your thermostat and cooling off for at least 12 hours to dethaw the system after changing your filter.  If the unit continues to freeze, it could be a sign of low refrigerant or a more serious mechanical issue. In this case, it’s important to have a professional check the refrigerant levels and inspect the system to diagnose and fix the problem.

A loud air conditioner can often indicate that the compressor is overworking or nearing failure. Another common cause is a dirty outdoor unit, which can obstruct airflow and force the system to work harder. Other common causes include low refrigerant, dirty air filters and low air flow inside the house.

On average, air conditioners last about 10-15 years with proper maintenance. However, their lifespan can be affected by how often they’re used, how well they’re maintained, and the local climate. To maximize the life of your unit, regular servicing is essential. This includes cleaning the coils, checking refrigerant levels, and making sure all components are functioning correctly. Consistent maintenance can help your air conditioner run efficiently and last longer.

It depends. Most air conditioners will need a few repairs over the years, but generally not major ones. If you’ve had multiple issues with the air conditioner in a short period of time, or if the unit is past 10-15 years old, it’s likely best to consider replacement. Major repairs like compressor failure, significant refrigerant leaks, or extensive corrosion are often signs that replacement is needed. Additionally, newer models are more energy-efficient, which can save money on energy bills in the long run.
