Cooling repair
AC Repair in Suwanee, GA
Why is the air conditioner running without cooling? We test until the answer is clear, then fix it.
What Is Actually Wrong With the AC?
That is the only question that matters, and it rarely has a one-word answer. Warm air at the registers can come from a dead capacitor, a stuck contactor, a seized condenser fan, a refrigerant leak, an iced evaporator or a filter so clogged that air barely moves. From the hallway they all feel alike, yet each calls for its own repair at its own cost. So before anything gets replaced, a technician from HVAC Suwanee measures. Voltage and amperage on the motors. Microfarads on the capacitor. Suction and liquid pressures. Temperature split between the return and supply air. Condition of the drain line and the float switch. Those numbers tell us which component failed and whether anything else is close behind it. You can save a visit by checking a few things first. Is the thermostat on cool with the setpoint below room temperature? Are the breakers for the outdoor and indoor units on? Is the filter clean? Has water tripped a safety switch near the air handler? If all of that checks out, the problem is inside the system, and that is where we come in.
Which Parts Fail Most Often?
These components account for most of the cooling calls we take. Each one has its own test.
Run and start capacitors
Measured against their rating. A weak one can stop the compressor or fan from starting on a hot day.
Contactor
The relay that sends power to the outdoor unit. Pitted or welded contacts leave it dead or running nonstop.
Fan motors, inside and out
Amp draw, bearing noise and heat checked on both the condenser fan and the indoor blower, then replaced if they fail.
Iced evaporator coil
Thawed and traced back to its cause, whether that is a restricted filter, low airflow or a low charge.
Refrigerant leaks
A low charge is a symptom, not a fix. We look for the leak, repair it where practical and charge to specification.
Drain line and safety switch
Flushed and checked so condensate leaves the house instead of shutting the system down or soaking the ceiling.
Electrical faults
Shorted wiring, burnt terminals and anything else that keeps tripping the breaker.
Thermostat signals
Control wiring and thermostat calls verified so the equipment gets the right instructions.
How Is an AC Repair Handled?
Describe the symptoms
Is it warm air, short cycling, ice, water or a breaker? When did it begin, and what have you already checked? The details help us arrive prepared.
Readings and a straight explanation
We measure the electrical and refrigerant side, find the failed component and show you the evidence. You get the repair and the figure for it before any wrench turns.
Repair and verify
With your approval, the part is replaced. Then we confirm the temperature split, pressures and amp draw are where they belong before we pack up.
