Signs You Need Air Conditioning Repairs

You shouldn’t delay calling for help when you have AC problems. It’s important to contact an HVAC contractor if you notice:

• Puddles around your air conditioner
• Loud, unusual noises when you turn on your air conditioner
• Air vents that blow hot air
• The air conditioner turning on and off frequently
• Unusually high energy bills

Waiting to schedule air conditioning repairs could make the problem worse — and more expensive to fix. Our skilled team will get to the bottom of your AC issues and provide a lasting solution.

Professional vs. DIY AC Repairs

Repairing your air conditioner yourself may be tempting, but we strongly advise against it. HVAC systems are complex, and online tutorials won’t give a full picture of what’s going on in your AC unit. You could hurt yourself, damage your AC further, and end up paying more for professional repairs.

X-Press Energy provides homeowners with speedy, reliable, and affordable air conditioning services. When you hire us, you’ll be cool and comfortable again in no time.

AC Repair FAQs

Should I replace my air conditioner instead of repairing it?

If you need frequent AC repairs, or your unit is around 15 years old, replacing it may be more cost-effective.

Why is my air conditioner blowing hot air?

If your air conditioner blows hot air, you may have low refrigerant or dirty air filters.

How often should I change my AC filters?

Most air conditioner manufacturers recommend changing your air filters every three to six months.

The Importance of Preventative AC Maintenance

The importance of scheduling routine maintenance for your air conditioner can’t be overstated. Like any major appliance, your air conditioning system will benefit from regular tune-ups.

Preventative AC maintenance will:

• Prevent breakdowns: Your HVAC contractor can catch minor issues before they cause complete air conditioner breakdowns.
• Save you money: AC tune-ups will help your HVAC system run more efficiently, saving you money on your energy bills.
• Delay replacements: Preventative maintenance will extend the service life of your air conditioner, so you’ll go longer between replacements.
• Give you peace of mind: You’ll feel better knowing your air conditioner can handle the hottest months of the year.
