Frequently asked in Boston
This rule isn't exact science and depends on your specific system's age and efficiency. It's a good starting point for thinking about long-term costs in Boston.
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
Several things could cause this, from a dirty air filter or clogged condenser coils to a refrigerant leak. Sometimes, it's a simple fix like a tripped breaker, but other times it requires a specialist. The pros can diagnose the exact problem, whether it's in the Fenway area or further out.
What does a typical AC repair cost?
What is the 3 minute rule for AC?
The 3-minute rule for AC systems advises against cycling the unit on and off too frequently. Allowing the system to run for at least 3 minutes per cycle helps prevent damage to the compressor. Frequent short cycles can stress components and lead to premature failure.
This applies to both heating and cooling systems. It's a way to weigh ongoing repair expenses against the investment in a new, more efficient unit.
