Is Your Air Conditioner Not Cooling Properly?

Worried that your air conditioner isn’t working properly? These common signs can indicate it’s time to call for air conditioner repair in Raleigh:

AC short cycling: Your AC turns off after running for less than 10 minutes.
Loud noises when your AC is running: Bumping, grinding, and whining sounds can indicate a problem.
Bad AC smells: You might notice musty odors, burning, or a strong chemical smell.
Unexplained rising energy bills: High bills can be caused by inefficient HVAC systems.

Burning smells often indicate a mechanical or electrical problem and can pose a fire hazard. A sweet, chemical smell points to a refrigerant leak, which is toxic if touched or inhaled. Both of these problems pose a significant safety risk, so turn off your AC, evacuate, and call for emergency AC repair in Raleigh.

Common Air Conditioning Problems We Fix

Our Raleigh HVAC repair pros solve a wide range of common air conditioning problems, including:

AC blowing warm air: This may be due to refrigerant issues, airflow problems, or broken condenser components.
Refrigerant problems: Leaks can be caused by worn or damaged units.
Frozen evaporator coils: Frozen coils may produce visible ice or water pooling under the unit.
Clogged AC filters: Raleigh’s high pollen levels can quickly clog your AC filters.
System inspections and resets: You may need an inspection or a reset after storms or power outages.
What To Expect During an AC Repair Visit

Learn what to expect when you book residential AC repair with our Raleigh team:

Step one: Inspection and diagnosis

When we arrive at your home, we get straight to work investigating your air conditioning system. We locate the problem using state-of-the-art tools to provide a diagnosis with minimal disruption to your home and routine.

Step two: Recommendations

Every good AC recommendation includes a conversation. Before we perform any repairs, we talk to you about your home cooling needs, budget, and energy goals to find the best repair or replacement plan for your home.

Step three: Repairs

Once you’re happy with the plan, we perform all the necessary repairs or replacements. Most simple AC repairs are complete in just a few hours, but major repairs and full replacements can take up to a day or two, depending on the system.

Step four: Quality testing

Before we leave, we conduct a comprehensive quality test to confirm that everything meets our quality and safety standards. Then we clean up and leave your home looking just the way we found it.

Should You Repair or Replace Your AC System?

Wondering whether to repair or replace your faulty AC? These factors can help guide your decision.

AC system age

Most air conditioning systems last 15 to 20 years with proper care. If you have a relatively new system, repairs can often be a worthwhile investment. However, if your AC is approaching the 15- to 20-year mark, replacement may be more cost-effective in the long term.

Severity of the problem

A helpful rule for deciding between AC repair vs. replacement is that if the cost of repairs is more than 50% of the value of a new unit, it’s worth considering replacement. Your HVAC technician can talk to you about the pros and cons to help you find the best solution for your needs.

Energy-efficient upgrades

A broken AC unit can be an opportunity to upgrade to newer technologies with greater cooling and energy benefits. For example, ductless mini splits can offer up to 30% better efficiency than traditional systems, while heat pumps deliver heating and cooling power for year-round energy savings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my AC needs to be repaired or replaced?

If your AC stops working, it’s 10 to 15 years old or older, or you’re paying for frequent repairs, it may need replacing. However, if the issue is minor and you have a newer system, it likely just needs to be repaired.

Can you fix my AC if it’s an older or discontinued model?

Yes, the experienced HVAC technicians at Thermo Direct can fix your AC, even if you have an older or discounted model. We have extensive experience working on all types of AC systems regardless of age or type.

How long does a typical AC repair take?

A typical AC repair takes 30 minutes to a few hours to complete. The length of time it takes to repair your AC depends on factors like the complexity of the issue, availability of certain parts, and whether or not a replacement is recommended.

How does Raleigh’s high humidity affect my AC unit’s lifespan?

Raleigh’s high humidity means your AC has to work harder to cool your home, increasing wear and tear and shortening system lifespan. You can help combat this by scheduling regular professional maintenance to catch potential issues before they become big problems.

Do I need a City of Raleigh permit for a central air conditioning repair or changeout?

While permits may not be required for minor repairs, you’ll need a City of Raleigh permit for major repairs and replacements. Your HVAC technician can help you acquire the necessary permits for any AC services.

Will a 200-amp electrical panel upgrade help my AC run more efficiently during North Carolina heat waves?

If your home has a high energy demand, upgrading to a 200-amp electrical panel may improve your AC efficiency during heat waves. We also offer comprehensive electrical services, so our pros can talk to you about electrical upgrades to support your HVAC system.
