Question 1

How quickly can you get to my home for an AC repair?

Accepted Answer

We offer same-day service for most calls and 24/7 emergency AC repair. In most cases, a technician can be at your door within a few hours of your call.

Question 2

Do you repair all AC brands?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our technicians are trained to work on all major brands including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, and more.

Question 3

How do I know if my AC needs repair or replacement?

Accepted Answer

If your system is over 15 years old and requires frequent repairs, replacement may be more cost-effective. We'll give you an honest assessment and help you weigh repair vs. replacement costs.

Question 4

Why is my AC running but not cooling my house?

Accepted Answer

The most common causes are a dirty air filter restricting airflow, low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty condenser coil outside, or a failed compressor. Start by checking your filter — if it's clogged, swap it out and give the system 30 minutes to recover. If it's still not cooling, you likely need a professional diagnosis to check refrigerant levels and electrical components.

Question 5

Why is my AC blowing warm air?

Accepted Answer

Warm air from your vents usually points to low refrigerant, a failed compressor, a tripped breaker to the outdoor unit, or a thermostat set incorrectly. Check that your thermostat is set to 'cool' (not 'heat' or 'fan only') and that the outdoor unit is running. If the outdoor unit isn't running or the air stays warm, call us — refrigerant leaks and compressor failures require professional repair.

Question 6

Why is my AC blowing hot air suddenly?

Accepted Answer

A sudden switch to hot air often means your outdoor unit lost power — check the breaker and the disconnect box next to the unit. It can also indicate a capacitor failure, which prevents the compressor from starting. In heat pump systems, a stuck reversing valve can cause the system to blow hot air in cooling mode. Any of these require same-day service to avoid compressor damage.

Question 7

My AC is cooling but not enough — rooms are still warm. Why?

Accepted Answer

Insufficient cooling is usually caused by an undersized system, duct leaks losing conditioned air to the attic or crawlspace, a dirty evaporator coil, or low refrigerant. In Asheville's humid summers, a system that's low on charge will lose both cooling capacity and dehumidification ability. We can perform a full system evaluation to identify where the problem lies.

Question 8

Why does my AC cool some rooms but not others?

Accepted Answer

Uneven cooling is almost always a ductwork problem — either leaky ducts, improperly sized ducts, or dampers that need balancing. It can also be caused by a blower motor running at the wrong speed or an undersized system struggling on the hottest days. We check airflow at every register and inspect the duct system to find the root cause.

Question 9

Why is my AC unit freezing up?

Accepted Answer

An AC freezes when something disrupts the heat exchange process — most commonly a dirty air filter, low refrigerant, or a blower motor that isn't pushing enough air across the evaporator coil. The coil temperature drops below 32°F and moisture in the air freezes on it. Turn the system off, let it thaw completely (this can take several hours), replace your filter, and restart. If it freezes again, you likely have a refrigerant leak that needs professional repair.

Question 10

What causes ice to form on my AC's indoor coil?

Accepted Answer

Ice on the evaporator coil is caused by inadequate airflow or low refrigerant charge. Restricted airflow — from a clogged filter, closed vents, or a failing blower motor — prevents warm house air from reaching the coil. Low refrigerant drops the coil temperature below freezing. Either way, running the system with ice on the coil can damage your compressor, so shut it down and call for service.
