Frequently asked in Buffalo
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
This can happen in Buffalo for several reasons. A dirty air filter is a common culprit, restricting airflow. It might also indicate a refrigerant leak, a malfunctioning fan, or issues with the compressor. The pros can quickly identify the specific cause and get your system blowing cold air again.
What does a typical AC repair cost?
What is the 3-minute rule for AC?
The 3-minute rule for AC systems is a recommendation to protect your compressor. It advises waiting at least three minutes after shutting off your AC before turning it back on. This pause allows the system pressure to stabilize, preventing the compressor from starting under a heavy load. It’s a simple way to extend your Buffalo AC’s life.
This rule applies to your entire home comfort system. If the cost to repair your furnace or AC reaches about half the price of a new system, it's generally a better long-term investment to replace the old unit. This rule helps Buffalo homeowners avoid spending more on frequent repairs for aging equipment.
