Air conditioning (AC) is a system that cools and dehumidifies indoor air to keep your home comfortable during hot weather. It works by removing heat and moisture from inside your home and releasing it outdoors, leaving the air inside cooler and more comfortable.

Common Boiler Problems We Fix

1. Warm Air is Pulled In

  • A blower fan draws warm indoor air into the system through return ducts
  • The air passes through an air filter, which removes dust, pollen, and debris

2. Cooling at the Evaporator Coil

  • Inside the indoor unit, the air passes over the evaporator coil filled with cold refrigerant
  • The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, cooling it down
  • At the same time, moisture condenses on the coil, reducing indoor humidity

3. Heat is Carried Outdoors

  • The refrigerant, now warmed by the absorbed heat, is pumped outside to the condenser unit
  • The condenser coil and outdoor fan release the heat into the outside air

4. Cycle Repeats

  • The refrigerant is cooled and circulated back indoors
  • The blower pushes the cooled, dehumidified air into the supply ducts, distributing it throughout your home

Key Components of an AC System

● Evaporator Coil (indoor unit): Absorbs heat from the indoor air.
● Condenser Coil (outdoor unit): Releases heat outside.
● Compressor: Pumps refrigerant between indoor and outdoor units.
● Blower Fan: Circulates air through ducts.
● Thermostat: Controls the system to maintain your desired temperature.

Benefits

  • Keeps your home cool and comfortable in hot weather
  • Reduces humidity, preventing dampness and mold growth
  • Improves indoor air quality with proper filtration
  • Provides consistent and reliable comfort during summer months

Homeowner Troubleshooting

AC Won't Turn On
  • Check the thermostat settings (set to COOL and lower than room temperature)
  • Verify the circuit breaker hasn't tripped
  • Ensure the disconnect switch near the outdoor unit is ON
AC Runs But No Cool Air
  • Replace or clean the air filter — a clogged filter restricts airflow
  • Make sure supply and return vents are open and unblocked
  • Check that the outdoor unit fan is running
Weak or Uneven Airflow
  • Inspect vents for blockages
  • Check ducts in the attic or basement for disconnections or leaks
  • Replace the air filter if dirty
System Freezing Up (Ice on Coil or Refrigerant Lines)
  • Turn the system off and let it thaw
  • Replace the filter to restore airflow
  • If icing happens again, it could be due to low refrigerant or dirty coils — requires a technician
Strange Noises
  • Rattling: loose panels, screws, or ductwork
  • Buzzing: electrical issues or failing motor
  • Grinding or squealing: blower or fan motor problems — call for service
Water Leaks Around Indoor Unit
  • The condensate drain line may be clogged
  • Ensure the drain pan isn't cracked
Higher Than Normal Energy Bills
  • Dirty filters, blocked outdoor units, or low refrigerant can make the AC run harder
  • Have the system serviced to restore efficiency
