Frequently asked in Durham

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

This can happen for several reasons. A common cause is low refrigerant, indicating a leak that needs professional repair. It might also be an issue with the outdoor condenser unit not working properly, or a severely clogged air filter impeding airflow. A technician can diagnose the specific problem.

What does a typical AC repair cost?

What is the 3 minute rule for AC?

The '3-minute rule' is a guideline suggesting you wait at least three minutes after turning off your AC system before restarting it. This allows internal pressures to stabilize, which is crucial for protecting the compressor. Violating this can lead to more significant, costly repairs.

This rule broadly applies to HVAC systems. If your heating or cooling equipment is aging and a repair cost nears half the price of a new system, replacement is generally the more economical long-term choice. It focuses on efficiency and avoiding escalating repair bills.
