Frequently asked in Virginia Beach
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
This often points to a few common culprits. The refrigerant might be low, indicating a leak that needs fixing. The outdoor unit could be dirty, preventing proper heat exchange. Or, the fan motor on the indoor unit might have failed. A licensed pro can diagnose the exact cause for your Virginia Beach home.
What does a typical AC repair cost?
What is the 3-minute rule for AC?
The 3-minute rule is about protecting your AC's compressor. It suggests waiting at least three minutes after the system shuts off before restarting it. This allows the pressure in the system to equalize. Restarting too soon can strain the compressor and potentially lead to damage. Always allow that brief pause.
This figure isn't exact and depends on the age and efficiency of your current system. Consider the long-term savings of a new, energy-efficient unit for your Virginia Beach home.
This rule encourages homeowners to weigh the significant repair expense against the investment in a new, more reliable, and potentially more energy-efficient system. It's about long-term value.
