Frequently asked in Durham

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

This is a frequent AC issue that can have several causes. It could be a refrigerant leak, a malfunctioning compressor, or simply a clogged air filter restricting airflow. The pros can quickly diagnose the exact problem. They'll explain the repair process and provide a clear, upfront quote for the work needed to get your AC blowing cold air again.

What does a typical AC repair cost in Durham?

It suggests that if the cost of repairing your air conditioner exceeds half the price of a new system, it might be more economical to replace it. This rule helps you evaluate whether you're investing wisely in an older unit versus a new one. It's a good prompt to ask for replacement quotes too.

What is the 3 minute rule for AC?

The '3-minute rule' for AC systems is a simple yet important maintenance tip. It recommends waiting at least three minutes after your AC has cycled off before turning it back on. This waiting period allows the system's internal pressures to stabilize, which protects the compressor from damage. Following this can extend the life of your unit.
