AC technicians run into all kinds of air conditioner repairs all the time, some, over and over again. Frozen evaporator coils on the indoor unit, dirty condenser coils on the outdoor unit, air filters clogged with dust, damaged coils leaking refrigerant, and broken fans are things we see every day.

Here are four less-common reasons air conditioners need repairs. Not only are they interesting, they’re also worth knowing about in case they happen to you.
It would be lovely if everything always worked perfectly. Unfortunately, problems always crop up sooner or later. And with something like a furnace, which has many components and moving parts, there are more points of possible failure. If you’re not an experienced furnace owner and are wondering what sorts of things could possibly go wrong, we’ve got you covered.
We’ll list some of the most common issues you can encounter with a furnace, what might cause them, and when you should get a technician in to take a look. We’ll also give you helpful tips for keeping your furnace in good shape so you can decrease the odds of things going wrong in the future.
Furnace repairs can be quite a hassle, especially when the need for repair comes up unexpectedly. You have to rearrange your schedule to be available for the technician, and then you worry about what the cost will be and how you will pay it. But you don’t have many options, because you need your heat up and running. It’s even worse if your furnace fails completely during a cold winter night, and you wake up to a frigid house.
It’s worth doing anything that’s necessary to decrease the likelihood of repairs, so that you can avoid the stress, expense, and inconvenience. And we’ve got some great news for you. The best way to prevent furnace repair is very simple and straightforward: it’s regular maintenance.
It can be easier to describe negative qualities than positive ones. You certainly have a lot to say when you’ve seen work done poorly, or when you’ve had an unpleasant interaction or an unsatisfactory business deal. But it’s good to consider exactly what qualities you expect and appreciate in others. When it comes to plumbers, there are several things you can be aware of when assessing the service they provide and the way they provide it.
A great professional plumber is not just a great plumber, but also a person who behaves with professionalism. They can be relied upon not just to get the job done, but to do it courteously and make it as pleasant for you as possible. You can begin to assess a plumber before they do any work in your home.
In Arizona, it’s important to have a functional air conditioner to maintain your comfort throughout the long summer. At this time of year, you might be thinking more about your heating system, or just reveling in the beautiful autumn weather. But if your air conditioner has been having a rough time this year, you should make a plan now to ensure that you’ll be able to cool your home when the hot weather hits again.
Should your plan be repairing your air conditioner, or investing in a brand-new one? Here are some points you should consider as you make that decision.
Since the 1970s, when central air conditioning became common, most new American homes have been constructed with a network of ducts for their HVAC systems. With these ducts in place, conditioned air (or heated air in the winter) can be distributed throughout the house with no air conditioners inconveniently balanced in windows. The reason for the popularity of the central AC is that it keeps your HVAC system out of sight and out of your way while efficiently bringing your whole home to the perfect temperature.
But sometimes, especially as the ducts age, problems can occur. We’re here to help you understand the signs of leaking ducts, how these leaks can be caused, and what we can do to solve the problem and get your home back to keeping you comfortable with ease.
