Common AC Problems We Fix

Even with regular maintenance, air conditioners eventually need repair. Here are some of the most common issues we see in New Orleans homes:

AC isn’t cooling like it should

Low refrigerant, refrigerant leaks, or dirty evaporator coils can prevent your system from removing heat properly.

Airflow feels weak or uneven

Dirty air filters, airflow obstructions, or a blocked condenser unit can restrict circulation and reduce performance.

System keeps turning on and off (short-cycling)

This is often caused by a defective thermostat, malfunctioning sensors, or deeper mechanical complications.

AC is running but not keeping up in the heat

Could be dirty coils, damaged blower fans, or airflow issues inside the system.

Energy bills suddenly spike

Poor airflow, low refrigerant, or worn components like compressors can force your system to work harder than it should.

Strange noises or vibrations

Often tied to faulty compressors, loose components, or fan repairs that need attention.

Thermostat isn’t responding properly

Thermostat failure or inaccuracies

AC won’t turn on at all

This could be related to circuit breakers, electrical problems, or major system failures that require professional AC repair.

Ice buildup or moisture around the unit

Typically caused by refrigerant leaks, airflow issues, or clogged components affecting normal cooling cycles.

Our licensed HVAC technicians are trained to pinpoint the problem and get your system back in working order quickly.
