Frequently asked in Oakland

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

This often indicates a problem with the cooling cycle itself. Low refrigerant levels due to a leak are a common cause. Another possibility is a dirty condenser coil on the outdoor unit, which can't dissipate heat effectively. The indoor fan might also be malfunctioning. A professional will diagnose the precise reason for your Oakland home.

What does a typical AC repair cost?

What is the 3-minute rule for AC?

The 3-minute rule is a protective measure for your AC's compressor. It suggests waiting at least three minutes after the unit has shut off before restarting it. This allows pressure within the system to normalize, preventing undue stress on the compressor motor and reducing the risk of damage. It's a simple but effective practice.

This rule of thumb applies to your entire HVAC system. Think about the lifespan and efficiency of newer models. A significant repair cost can sometimes be better allocated towards a modern, reliable system for your Oakland home.
