Common questions
Why is my AC running but not cooling?
This can happen for a few reasons. Your system might be low on refrigerant, which is like the fluid that cools your air. It could also be that a part like the compressor or fan motor has failed. Sometimes, a dirty air filter can also restrict airflow, making it seem like the AC isn't working properly. We can diagnose the exact cause.
What does a typical AC repair cost?
The cost of AC repair depends on what's wrong. Simple fixes like cleaning a unit or replacing a minor part are less expensive. Major component failures or refrigerant leaks will naturally cost more. We always provide a clear explanation of the issue and the work needed before we start. Call us for a free phone quote.
How do I fix my AC not blowing cold air in my car?
Car AC issues can be complex. It might be a problem with the refrigerant levels, a faulty compressor, or a leak in the system. Sometimes, electrical issues can also prevent the AC from blowing cold. It's best to have a professional inspect your car's AC system to find the root cause.
What is the $5000 AC rule?
The '$5000 AC rule' is a general guideline people use. It suggests that if a repair costs more than half the price of a new system, it might be time to replace it. However, this isn't a strict rule. We can assess your system's age and condition to help you make the best decision for your home in Oregon.
