Common problems

Signs your AC needs repair

If you notice any of these, call us before a small problem turns into a breakdown on the hottest day of the year.

Blowing warm air

The AC runs but the air from the vents isn't cold.

Won't turn on

The thermostat calls for cooling but the outdoor unit stays quiet.

Ice on the lines or coil

Frozen refrigerant lines usually mean low refrigerant or an airflow problem.

Water leaking inside

A clogged condensate drain can flood the floor around your furnace.

Strange noises

Buzzing, clicking, grinding or a fan that won't spin.

Higher electric bills

A struggling AC runs longer and uses more power to keep up.

Quick check first: make sure the thermostat is set to Cool, the filter isn't clogged and the AC breaker hasn't tripped. Still warm? Give us a call.

FAQ

AC repair questions

Have a different question? Call us at (773) 387-9104.

How fast can you come out?

Same-day appointments are often available during regular hours, Monday to Friday, 8 am to 6 pm. For an emergency after hours or on weekends, call our usual number, (773) 387-9104.

Will I know the price before you start?

Yes. We diagnose the problem first and give you an upfront price. You approve it before any repair work begins.

Which AC brands do you repair?

We repair all major brands, including Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Goodman, Daikin, Rheem, Ruud, Bryant, American Standard, Armstrong Air, Ducane and Payne, and most other makes and models.

Why is my AC blowing warm air?

Common causes are a failed capacitor, a dirty or frozen coil, low refrigerant from a leak, or a tripped breaker. A clogged filter can also choke airflow. Check the filter and breaker first, then call us if it's still warm.

Why is water leaking near my furnace?

In summer, that's usually the AC's condensate drain or pump. When it clogs, water backs up and overflows. We clear the drain, check the pump and make sure it doesn't happen again.

Should I repair or replace my AC?

If your AC is newer and the repair is minor, repairing usually makes sense. If it's older, uses an outdated refrigerant like R-22, or needs a major part like a compressor, replacement can save money over time. We'll walk you through both options honestly.
