Signs you may need an AC Replacement Soon Your air conditioner might give you some "warning signs" that it's struggling to keep working. Consider reaching out to experts about a pre-emptive air conditioner replacement if: Your air conditioner is not cooling your home. You are frequently scheduling repairs. Your cooling bills are getting higher. Cooled air coming from your vents is weaker. Your AC unit is consistently running. The HVAC system is making odd noises. How do you know if you should contemplate an AC repair or an air conditioner replacement? If you're worried, the Dallas Guide to Air Conditioner Replacement is a great place to begin. Plano AC Repair Troubleshooting Checklist What to do before reaching out to Levy & Son for an AC Repair Take a look at your breaker box for a tripped breaker. If the breaker is flipped, try resetting it. You can flip it off and on again even if it doesn't seem like it tripped. Some breakers will trip but the switch won't move much, making it seem as though there is a separate problem. Older homes might have fuse boxes, in which case you're assessing for a blown fuse. Examine your thermostat. You want to confirm that there are working batteries in it, it's on and that it's set to cool. There is no need to bring in the experts if a couple double AA batteries are the solution. Listen for strange noises coming from your air conditioning system. If you notice clicking, call Levy & Son right away. Look for ice. If there is ice on your AC unit in a Plano summer, you could have a refrigerant leak. Sometimes there will be ice on the lines going from your condenser (the big air conditioning unit outside your home with a fan on top) into your house. Refrigerant leaks should be repaired quickly, or you are in danger of damaging vital components of your air conditioning system. Switch your filter! We all ignore the little chores sometimes. Replacing the air conditioning system's filter is an easy one to forget. Blocked air flow from an overly dirty filter can brutally reduce your system's efficiency and lead to extra wear on components, like the blower motor. Check your air vents. Your air conditioning system must breathe, which means preserving air flow. If you have blocked air flow from your supply and return vents, it's probable you will have an AC repair during Plano heatwaves down the road. Can you Repair an AC Coil Leak? You bet. A leaking evaporator coil can be easily noticeable, but costly to replace. It's because of air conditioner repairs like this that we suggest an AC maintenance plan. Preventative maintenance and consistent tune-ups can help to prevent more costly repairs down the road. In the event that the leak cannot be sealed and repaired, our HVAC technicians have the capability to replace the faulty component. AC Coil Repair Cost: $400-$1,200 Can you Repair the AC Compressor? Normally if the compressor is shot, you're going to replace it, not repair it. The compressor in an air conditioner is a critical component and the part itself is one of the pricier pieces of the system. If you have an old unit and the compressor is done, you may want to replace the unit. There are three categories of AC compressors: single stage compressors, two-stage compressors and variable-speed compressors. The single stage compressors can only function at one level, which means it will run full force as long as it’s on. The two stage compressors offer two different levels, so it can run a little lower on days that have milder temps, which benefits efficiency. The most efficient choice is the variable capacity compressor which has the power to constantly adapt to meet the preferred temperature of the home. When the time happens to get help with your air conditioner, you can count on the qualified professionals at Levy & Son. You can reach us at 469-249-1971 and we’ll be happy to answer your questions or arrange an appointment. AC Compressor Repair Cost: $1,350-$1,800 4 Things That Lead to AC Repair in Dallas 1 Lack of Air Conditioner Maintenance Letting your air conditioner work over long periods of time without being maintained is likely to cause challenges as time passes. Whether it results in air conditioner service calls or it requires a new air conditioning system, lack of maintenance, negatively impacts the efficiency and operation of your system. 2 AC Component Failure When your air conditioner isn’t working efficiently, the compressor and fan controls might wear out, or several other important components may be impacted. When your system cycles on and off a lot there is avoidable stress placed on these internal parts, causing improper operation or premature failure. 3 Thermostat Problems From a dead battery to a thermostat sensor that isn’t calibrated correctly, there are many thermostat problems that could occur. If it has been a while since you last replaced your thermostat batteries, it might be time to do so in order to dodge any issues with the settings you chose. 4 Condensation in your Air Conditioner Your air conditioning unit will produce a large amount of condensation. Some air conditioners have an electric condensate pump with tubing that can be damaged or clogged with algae or ice. Contact one of our friendly service technicians if you think something is wrong with your pump. What you can do to get your AC Repair Faster Everyone wants relief fast, especially in a blazing Plano heatwave. But it's a fact that the hotter it gets; the more AC repair calls your local Plano HVAC companies take. There are two measures you can take to get faster service. Watch the weather. If you hear in the forecast that it is going to be hot and you know your air conditioner is old and not operating as efficiently, call Levy & Son and book a tune-up as soon as possible. Make sure you let us know your concerns and anything odd you've observed about your air conditioning system. This will help us inspect anything that could be the source of a catastrophic failure during the hotter months. Sign up for one of Levy & Son's Service Plans. Not only do you have the additional benefit of having regular tune-ups for your air conditioner, which could prevent the need for an AC repair entirely. If something does happen, you’re already top of mind. Ductless Mini-Split Air Conditioning Repair If it cools, we can find a solution. Mini-split AC units are great selections for historic homes that do not have the option for ductwork, hard to heat and cool spaces like garages or new additions where the AC system does not currently reach. Levy & Son is qualified to repair, replace, and install ductless mini-split air conditioning systems of any make and model. In the Plano community, we have a lot of newer homes and more are built every day. Sometimes a newer home could still have heating and cooling challenges for specific rooms. We can install a zoning system to help eliminate any problem areas in your home that experience hot and cold spots. Some customers prefer to use a mini-split system for this problem as well. While we find these units are reliable, it does happen sometimes that a mini-split system wears out and needs repairs just like a central air conditioning system.
