Common AC Issues
- Refrigerant leaks or improper charge
- Broken condenser fan motor
- Broken blower motor
- Bad start capacitors or run capacitors
- Corroded contactors
- Dirty coils, clogged drain lines, and other maintenance-related problems
- Water leaking from your AC inside your home
AC repair involves diagnosing and fixing various components within an HVAC system to restore optimal performance. One common issue is a malfunctioning compressor, often caused by electrical problems or refrigerant issues. The compressor plays a crucial role in circulating refrigerant and maintaining the desired temperature.
Another potential problem lies in the evaporator coils, which can get dirty or freeze, hindering heat absorption and affecting overall cooling efficiency. Regular cleaning and maintenance can prevent these issues and ensure the smooth operation of the coils.
Faulty thermostat operation is another frequent reason for AC malfunctions. Whether due to inaccurate readings, sensor problems, or electrical issues, a malfunctioning thermostat can lead to inconsistent temperatures and discomfort. Additionally, problems with the condenser coils, located in the outdoor unit, may arise. Accumulated dirt or debris on these coils can impede heat release, causing the system to work harder and reducing its efficiency.
Understanding these common issues allows HVAC technicians to address problems promptly during AC repair, ensuring a reliable and energy-efficient cooling system. Regular preventive HVAC maintenance is crucial in preventing these issues and maintaining the longevity of the HVAC system.

AC Repair Frequently Asked Questions
Bigger isn’t always better; it’s performance and efficiency that count. Before purchasing a replacement system you should always make sure your system is sized properly to match your needs and budget. Your 3H AC Expert will thoroughly assess your home and comfort requirements to determine the proper size and make the appropriate recommendation.
Air conditioners usually last around 15 years, sometimes longer with good maintenance.
Yes, you can replace just the outside unit but you will need to find one of similar age that is compatible with your air handler on the inside. Your money may actually be better spent on a new, more energy-efficient air conditioner.
Regular filter replacement helps your heating and cooling system operate at peak levels and improves indoor air quality. It is important to change filters regularly to ensure proper air flow and to keep your home free from dust, allergens and germs. Depending on the type of filter you have, you may require weekly or monthly filter replacements. Your 3HAC Experts service or installation technician will recommend the ideal filters and replacement schedules for your unit(s).
If your outside AC unit is making screeching or clattering noises, not coming on at all, or your breaker is tripping repeatedly, chances are good your AC compressor is having electrical problems. The compressor repair could be something as simple as a blown fuse, a capacitor, frayed wire, or it could be an issue with the motor. Give us a call and we will walk you through some steps to see if it is a simple fix.
If there is no air blowing from your air conditioner, it could be a blown fuse or a tripped breaker panel. If you flip the breaker switch back to the ON position and the breaker trips again, please do not switch the breaker back on. Give us a call and let us help you. Flipping the breaker repeatedly can cause serious and sometimes dangerous issues. AC fuses are not expensive parts to replace, but a skilled technician should do the work, as there is a lot of electricity going to the AC unit and there may be something else wrong that is causing the fuse to blow. AC fuses can last 20 years or more.
It is bad for your AC to run all day, primarily because your electric bill will be very high! It also puts a strain on the system to run without a break. A properly maintained unit will run for about 15 or 20 minutes until the indoor temperature reaches the setting on your thermostat, and then it will shut off until the temperature rises above the setting again. During heat waves, the system may cycle on and off more often than more moderate temps, and this is OK. But if your system never takes a break, give us a call and we will perform a complete system check to make sure your AC and ducts are working properly. We will also check your ductwork and insulation to see if you are losing air in the attic, or losing your cool or heat due to a lack of insulation.
