When it hits 100 degrees in the middle of the summer—and long before that point as well—a perfectly functioning air conditioner (AC) unit is a necessity, not a luxury.

Common AC Problems in Dallas, TX

Air conditioners are complex, hardworking machines that run for long periods of time in warm weather, so it's not surprising that they are vulnerable to problems caused by wear and tear in Dallas—especially if they haven't received preventative maintenance to stop typical issues before they worsen.

Want to know why your AC is struggling? We can't tell you the specific reason why your unit is in trouble without taking a look at it, but here are some of the most common problems we are called to fix in Dallas homes.

No Power to AC Unit

If your air conditioner is just sitting there like a big, useless bump on a log and won't turn on at all, it's crystal clear that something is wrong, but what? It could be a problem with faulty wiring or a tripped breaker, or it could be that the AC unit shut itself off after becoming overheated.

If you have an outdoor unit, do a quick check to make sure there are no plants or other items blocking airflow to and from the machine and try resetting the circuit breaker. If that doesn't solve the problem, you'll need a professional to take a look.

Degraded AC Fan Belt

Is your air conditioner system making a high-pitched squealing or screeching noise? It's possible that the fan belt is wearing out and needs replacement. Turn the unit off and get help immediately. If the fan belt breaks before it is replaced, the repair will be more time-consuming and costly.

Refrigerant Leak

When the unit seems to be losing cooling power, isn't blowing cool air at all, or is producing a hissing noise, a refrigerant leak is the likely culprit. Refrigerant leaks are unsafe for the environment, and insufficient refrigerant can cause your energy bill to skyrocket as it forces your AC to compensate by working much harder. An HVAC professional will recharge the system, replace tubing to stop the leak, and restore full power to the unit.

Frozen Evaporator Coil

Do you feel a warm breeze coming from your ductwork? Make sure the thermostat is set to cooling mode and dial it down to a lower temperature. If the warm air persists, you could have a frozen coil, which is caused by factors such as poor circulation, low levels of refrigerant, or continuous operation at night. Turn off the unit (it's not helping you now anyway) and call for service.

Defective Fan Motor

A fan motor that is malfunctioning due to wear or a mechanical issue is another reason why you may not have proper circulation in your home. Our service professional may be able to repair the motor, but it's also possible that a replacement will be required.

Faulty Air Conditioner Compressor

The fan is whirring away, doing its job... but it's still only blowing warm breeze. In that case, the compressor could be the guilty party. Because compressors are among the most expensive components of the system, air conditioner replacement may actually save you more money than costly repairs. Your service professional can take a look and offer some expert advice for the best course of action.

Clogged Condensate Drain

Debris such as algae, dirt, insect nests, and other unwelcome obstructions can clog up your condensate drain over time, which can lead to confrontations with every Dallas homeowner's natural enemy: water damage. We can flush the system to clear it out and apply algaecide to help prevent future clog-causing growth.

Benefits of Air Conditioner Repair in Dallas, TX

Aside from the biggest and most obvious advantage of having your AC working again—keeping your home cool and comfortable—there are some distinct benefits to getting professional air conditioner repair in Dallas.

Extended AC Unit Lifespan

Replacement units are expensive, so it pays to do whatever you can to keep your current unit running, and squeeze as much use as possible out of it. An experienced service pro can get the most out of your AC and extend its lifespan considerably with effective repairs and careful maintenance steps.

Improve Indoor Air Quality

As the air moves through your system and into your home, it passes through a filter that helps to purify the atmosphere and make it safer for your family to breathe. When the filter is clogged with contaminants such as dust and pollen, it can have the opposite effect and may even trigger unpleasant allergy symptoms. Repair services will ensure that the filter is clean and functioning so you can breathe easy.

Increase Energy Efficiency

Utility bills are often among the biggest monthly expenses for homeowners. Nobody wants to pay more in energy costs than they have to, but that's exactly what happens when your air conditioner is struggling—your utility bills increase as it uses more energy. Air conditioning repair service will save you a lot of money in the long run by making your system more energy efficient.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have some questions about our services, or a problem you're experiencing with your air conditioner? We're happy to help. You can always talk with our friendly customer service staff. Additionally, answers to several frequently asked questions are listed below.

What Brands Do You Service?

We service and repair a wide range of HVAC brands, including Amana®, Bryant®, Carrier®, Coleman®, Frigidaire®, Goodman®, Honeywell®, Lennox®, Rheem®, and many more. Give us a call or visit the About section of our website for a complete list of brands we service.

Why is My AC Running but Not Cooling?

When your air conditioner is clearly on and operating but it's not producing cool air, the first suspects for defective components are the evaporator coil and compressor. Our service pros will inspect the unit and trace problems to their source, so we can make a recommendation on the most cost-effective way to get your home cool and fresh again.

Is a Leaky Air Conditioner Dangerous?

Possibly, yes. Water leaks are not dangerous, but if it's leaking liquid coolant, the liquid can quickly evaporate into a potentially lethal gas that causes serious problems including nausea, skin irritation, and in some cases, asphyxiation. If you see any signs of leaking refrigerant, it's critically important to ventilate the area and get professional help immediately.

Should I Repair or Replace My Air Conditioner?

This is one of the most common questions we are asked, and while we can't say for sure without examining your unit, there are three main factors you should consider:

• If your unit is more than about 10 years old and giving you trouble, it's reaching the end of its life. Repairs will not be as effective as they would be on a younger system.

• When the damage is extensive or the most expensive components are broken, AC replacement can be more cost-effective than repairs.

• If your current unit has a low energy efficiency ratio, you'll save a lot of money in the long run by replacing it with a more energy efficient system.

How Many Years Does an AC Last in Dallas?

You can expect to get about 10 to 15 years out of a well-maintained system. Experienced repairs and regular air conditioner maintenance from HVAC service professionals will ensure you get more years of service from any cooling system.

When Should I Have My HVAC System Tuned Up?

Maintain your system and get appliance repair during the off seasons, while it is not in use. As a rule of thumb, we recommend heating and cooling system checkups twice per year. One in the spring before summer arrives, and one in the fall before winter.

How Much Does It Cost to Repair an AC Unit?

It's impossible to give you an accurate price estimate before we examine your system in person. Once we've completed a thorough inspection and diagnosed the issue, we'll offer a fair assessment upfront so you can make an informed decision.
