Frequently asked in San Jose

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

This often points to a few common culprits. It could be a refrigerant leak, a dirty air filter clogging airflow, or a problem with the outdoor unit's fan. Sometimes, the thermostat itself might be malfunctioning. A licensed pro can diagnose the exact cause quickly. They'll tell you what's wrong and what it takes to fix it.

What does a typical AC repair cost?

This rule of thumb suggests that if your AC repair costs more than half the price of a new system, you should probably consider replacing it. Especially for older units, repairs can add up. A pro can help you weigh the cost of repair versus the long-term benefits of a new, more efficient unit. They can provide an estimate for both.

What is the 3 minute rule for AC?

This rule advises against cycling your AC's compressor on and off too frequently. Allowing at least 3-5 minutes between cycles helps protect the compressor from damage. Constantly turning it on and off can strain the system. If your thermostat is causing rapid cycling, it's best to have it checked by a technician.

It's a way to avoid sinking a lot of money into an aging, inefficient unit. A pro can give you an estimate for repair and compare it to the cost of a new system.

How much does an average HVAC job cost?

An 'average' cost is tough to pin down because jobs vary so much. Simple tasks like cleaning coils are far less than replacing a whole system. The complexity of the repair, the specific parts needed, and the labor involved all influence the final price. Your best bet is to get a precise, no-obligation quote for your specific situation.
