Common AC Problems We Fix
We perform all kinds of HVAC repair in the Midlands and work on all AC brands and models. Our experts fix air conditioners per all manufacturer specifications, including using factory-authorized parts and materials. We understand that AC breakdowns can’t wait, and we prioritize our customers with same-day and emergency availability. Our technicians also travel in fully stocked trucks with all the equipment and parts we need. That means we’re typically able to complete AC repairs in a single visit rather than making multiple trips.
Often, the AC problems we fix are relatively simple. Our technician may have to replace the HVAC filter, calibrate the thermostat, or clean the evaporator coil. In some cases, a small component, such as a wire, capacitor, or ball bearing, requires replacement. Major repairs are less common; they include rebuilding or replacing the compressor or blower. Once we’ve fixed your AC, we’ll calibrate and thoroughly test it. That will ensure that the repair is reliable and that we’ve restored your system’s efficiency as well.
Our team installs and services many cooling-related technologies:
- UV lights
- Ductwork
- Air purifiers
- Heat pumps
- Dehumidifiers
- Ductless mini-splits
- Central air conditioners
- Programmable and smart thermostats
Fast Diagnostics and Reliable Cooling Repairs
Our technicians have the most advanced diagnostic equipment available, which allows for fast, accurate diagnoses. AC problems can be obvious, but that isn’t always the case. For instance, you may be experiencing warm spots throughout your home. That’s often a static air pressure issue, but pinpointing the precise cause can be complex. It could simply be the blower fan not spinning fast enough and resulting in weak airflow. It could also be a small leak in your ducts or something related to the house’s building envelope.
All ACs experience wear and tear through normal operation. Often, this can result in electrical issues that we’d typically fix during a seasonal tune-up. That can include replacing worn wires and tightening electrical connections. In some scenarios, we may need to adjust the AC’s electrical system or even replace a control board that’s gone bad.
Thermostat problems are quite common as well, and often fixing them is simply a matter of cleaning the contacts. We can replace the battery, update the firmware if applicable, and reprogram thermostats. If the thermostat readings are off, calibration may be necessary, and sometimes, the thermostat has simply grown old, and we’ll need to replace it.
A common misconception is that ACs use up their refrigerant over time. ACs are closed systems, and the refrigerant can last the entire lifespan of well-functioning equipment. Another misconception is that refrigerant leaks cause a sudden and major breakdown. While that can occur, refrigerant leaks are often micro-leaks. Those can affect your comfort and the system’s performance, but continue for a long time before a breakdown occurs. That’s one reason we encourage homeowners to track their electricity bill month to month and year to year.
Refrigerant leaks can manifest as many different comfort issues, including uneven cooling and weak airflow. You may notice your AC running for long periods, and if it’s begun to overheat, it may short cycle instead. Another common symptom is that the indoor evaporator coil ices over, which can lead to water damage when the coil defrosts. That’s why you should leave your AC fan running until we get there to fix it.

AC Repair FAQs
If you’re experiencing problems with your air conditioner, you likely have some questions. Here are answers to a couple of the most common inquiries we get about air conditioning repair in Columbia, SC.
How Do I Know If My AC Needs Repair Or Replacement?
The $5,000 rule is the general industry guideline. Multiply the age of your AC by the estimated, non-covered repair cost. If that value is less than $5,000, a repair is typically the cost-effective option. If it isn’t, you’ll likely save money long term by investing in a new system.
