Common Problems We Repair

When your system isn't performing its best, our experts are ready to handle the most frequent issues homeowners face:

  • Electrical Control Failures: Worn-out contactors or faulty wiring can cause the compressor or fan to fail to start
  • Low or No Refrigerant: Often a sign of a leak, causing poor cooling with ice buildup on lines, and increased energy bills
  • Problems with the compressor or fan motor that stop airflow at the source.
  • Faulty Capacitors: Capacitors, which provide the jolt to start motors, are common failure points. A humming noise with a fan that won't start often indicates a dead capacitor
  • Clogged Drain Lines: The AC condensate drain line can become clogged with algae or dirt, causing the pan to overflow and the system to shut down due to a safety switch.
  • Broken Fan Motors: If the indoor blower or outdoor fan motor wears out, it can lead to poor airflow, warm air from the vents, or a total system shutdown.
  • Frozen Evaporator Coils: Caused by dirty filters or low refrigerant, ice can build up on the indoor coil, requiring a professional to address the underlying issue.
  • Thermostat Issues: A malfunctioning, incorrectly set, or uncalibrated thermostat can prevent the heater from starting or cause inconsistent temperatures.
  • Ignition/Pilot Light Problems: A faulty pilot light or ignition system (igniter) prevents the burner from lighting.
  • Dirty Flame Sensor: A dirty sensor can cause the furnace to shut down almost immediately after turning on.
  • Blower Motor Malfunctions: Worn-out belts or bearings in the blower motor can cause loud noises (squealing, grinding) and poor airflow.
  • ​Short-Cycling: When a furnace frequently turns on and off, it may indicate a malfunctioning limit switch, improper airflow, or a faulty thermostat.
