Signs You Need AC Repair

Whether due to extensive use, lack of maintenance, or time, your AC will probably need the occasional repair. In order to avoid a full-blown breakdown, it is a good idea to become familiar with the signs that you need to repair your AC.

You should schedule AC repair in Orange County if:

• Your outside unit is frozen or leaking
• Your air never seems to be cold enough
• Your AC unit is making some strange noises
• Your airflow is weak
• Your AC cycles on and off constantly
• Your AC is sending strange-smelling air throughout your home
• Your home is too humid
• Your thermostat isn’t working

Ignoring problems with your AC is never a good idea. Even issues that seem relatively minor can quickly worsen and cause major damage. As soon as you notice something is wrong, reach out to the pros at Econo Air. We will arrive promptly, in fully stocked trucks, ready to perform professional repairs.

AC Running but Not Cooling?

There can be multiple reasons behind an AC not working and not delivering cold air.

 Here are some common reasons and troubleshooting steps:

• Thermostat Settings: Check if your thermostat is set to the correct cooling mode and temperature.
• Dirty Air Filter: A dirty filter can restrict airflow and cooling efficiency. Clean or replace it.
• Low Refrigerant Levels: Insufficient refrigerant may require a professional to recharge it.
• Blocked Condenser Coils: Examine the outdoor unit for debris that might obstruct the condenser coils.
• Compressor or Electrical Issues: Problems with the compressor or electrical connections could be affecting cooling.

How to Prevent AC Breakdowns

While AC breakdowns are incredibly frustrating, they are also almost entirely preventable. At Econo Air, we offer preventative AC maintenance guaranteed to keep your system in better shape for longer. Routine AC maintenance involves a thorough inspection, a safety and performance check, cleaning dirty components, lubricating motor parts, changing out dirty filters, and performing an overall tune-up. 

By carefully inspecting and testing each component of your system, your technician is able to identify any potential problem areas and take care of them before you are stuck paying for extremely expensive repairs or part replacements.

In addition to preventing breakdowns, routine maintenance increases the efficiency of your system, improves your indoor air quality, enhances your indoor comfort, lowers your energy bills, and provides you with peace of mind.

AC Repair Vs. Replacement

Whenever your AC breaks down you can do one of two things in the Southern Californian heat. You can either replace the unit outright or opt for AC repair. While repair may seem like the financially wise decision, it actually costs you more money in the following situations.

1. Your AC is older than 10 years old - On average an air conditioning unit usually lasts from 10-12 years but if your unit is much older, you shouldn't sink more money into repairing a dying unit.

2. It required repair after repair - Our Orange County AC repair experts will always be in to fix your AC if it breaks down, but you shouldn't be getting to know them by name they're over so often. If you need repair after repair, do yourself a favor and make the switch to save in the long run.

3. The unit only uses R22 Freon - Because of the 2020 Freon Ban, AC units that require the banned substance will only get more expensive to run as the coolant becomes increasingly scarce. While the use of the coolant is perfectly okay, it will become cost prohibitive in due time.
