Repair Q&A

An HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system repair usually starts with a thorough inspection of the HVAC system to determine what the problem might be.

A typical repair could involve anything from fixing the thermostat, air filter, ac condenser, furnace or air ducts.

Once the problem has been diagnosed, options regarding plans of action for fixing the problem as well as pricing will be provided to the homeowner to make a decision on how to move forward with the repair.

Some repairs involve replacing damaged or faulty parts, like a leaking drip pan or a short circuited thermostat. Once all the necessary repairs have been made the Technician will ensure that the system is working properly.

Repairs usually only take up to a few hours to complete, but can take several days depending on the extent of the damage and the parts needed for replacement. 

Ask yourself these questions when considering if it's time to invest in a new HVAC unit:

  • Is your HVAC unit close to 15-20 years old? HVAC systems typically have a life expectancy of 15-20 years. If it’s nearing that age range, it may be more cost-effective to replace it.
  • How expensive is the quoted repair? Repairing existing equipment can be a good decision as long as:
    • The cost of the repair is less than 30% of the cost of new equipment
    • The rest of the system is in excellent operating condition

    Otherwise, the cost of the repair would be better invested in a new system.

  • How often does the air conditioner need repairs? If your system is being repaired more than once every couple of years, it might be time for replacement. Older equipment results in:
    • More expensive repairs, such as compressors or heat exchangers
    • Much lower energy efficiency vs. today's standards
    • Reduced performance due to clogged or corroding coils

Replacing the Capacitor: The capacitor is located inside of the outdoor condenser unit and its purpose it to help kickstart the motor every time the system turns on. A blown capacitor results in your air conditioner not being able to turn on.

Replacing the Blower Motor: There are two blower motors in your HVAC system that work hard to push air throughout your home. One is in the outside condenser unit and the other is in the air handling unit.

Repairing a Refrigerant Leak: A leaking refrigerant can lead to several issues like your air conditioner not cooling enough, not blowing cool air, freezing coils,  and more expensive electric bills. 

Unclogging the Condensation Drain: The evaporator coil produces condensation which is then removed by the condensation drain. When the drain gets clogged it can cause musty odors, water damage and increased humidity levels.

Troubleshooting Your Air Conditioner

  • Your air conditioner isn't turning on

    Check that your thermostat is actually set to cool. With the swings in weather we see in the Magnolia, TX area it is easy to forget the last setting of your thermostat in the winter months.

    If your air conditioner still is not turning on the next step is to check your circuit to see if a breaker tripped. Your air conditioner won't work without a power supply. If the breaker tripped, just reset it and try turning on your air conditioner again.

    If neither of these solutions work then there might be a deeper problem going on with your air conditioner and a need for a Certified Technician to come check it out.

  • Your air conditioner is on but not blowing cool air

    • Try changing your air filter.
    • If your coil is frozen turn your air conditioner off and set the fan on auto to defrost it.
    • Check your thermostat to make sure it is on "cool" and "auto".
    • Check your outside unit (the condenser) and make sure nothing is blocking the flow of air like excess pine needles or overgrowth from a bush.

    If these solutions don't work, it's time to call a professional air conditioner repair service.

  • Some rooms are noticably warmer than others

    • Double check that all the windows are closed.
    • Make sure all of the air registers are fully open and blowing air
    • Keep all doors throughout the home open so air can flow freely from room to room

    If these solutions don't work, it's time to call a professional air conditioner repair service.

24-Hour AC Repair: Why It’s Important

The current labor shortage has caused businesses in all industries to make personnel adjustments. For example, a lot of companies stagger work hours or offer better employment benefits and incentives. But some HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) companies have canceled 24/7 support and emergency AC repair.

Repair or Replace? Residential HVACs

It’s puzzling what some homeowners will tolerate. For example, one Spring resident said he did laundry at night because there was no water pressure anywhere in the house when the washing machine was operating. In Tomball, a family survived several summer months without water-heated water because “We haven’t had cold water since April anyway. It’s hot in Texas.”

Boost Your Savings: 7 Powerful Ways To Slash AC Maintenance & Repair Costs

We recommend getting several quotes for AC maintenance. However, honesty and industry-best service is more important than base pricing.
