How Cooling System Work Gets Done

A repair visit in Elizabeth starts with checking refrigerant levels, testing the compressor and condenser coils, and inspecting airflow through the evaporator. Gauges measure system pressure, and the technician looks for leaks, frozen coils, or electrical issues that prevent the unit from cycling properly.

Once repaired, your air conditioner will blow cold air consistently, maintain the temperature you set on the thermostat, and run without short cycling or excessive noise. The house will cool down faster and stay comfortable even when outdoor temperatures climb.

New installations involve removing the old unit, mounting the indoor and outdoor components, running refrigerant lines, and connecting the system to your existing ductwork and thermostat. The system is tested under load to confirm it cools evenly across all rooms. This service does not include duct replacement, electrical panel upgrades, or structural modifications unless arranged separately.

Common Concerns Before Calling for Service

Homeowners often want to know what causes an air conditioner to stop cooling, how long a repair takes, and whether their system can be fixed or needs to be replaced.

What does it mean when my AC blows warm air?
Warm air usually indicates low refrigerant from a leak, a failed compressor that can't pressurize the system, or a frozen evaporator coil caused by restricted airflow. A technician will test each component to determine what's preventing the system from cooling.

How long does an air conditioning installation take?
Most installations are completed in one day, typically four to eight hours depending on whether the new unit matches the existing setup and whether any modifications to the refrigerant lines or electrical connections are needed. You'll have cooling restored by the end of the day.

Why does my air conditioner run constantly but not cool the house?
Continuous operation without cooling often means the system is undersized for the home, refrigerant levels are too low, or the outdoor condenser is dirty and can't release heat. In some cases, poor insulation or air leaks make it impossible for the system to keep up during peak heat.

When should I replace my air conditioner instead of repairing it?
If your system is over 12 years old, uses R-22 refrigerant that's no longer produced, or requires a major component replacement like a compressor, installing a new unit is usually more cost-effective. Newer systems also cool more efficiently and handle temperature swings better.

What causes ice to form on the outdoor unit?
Ice on the outdoor coils usually results from low refrigerant, which causes the system to overcool and freeze moisture in the air. It can also happen if the indoor filter is clogged and airflow drops too low. You should turn the system off and call for service to avoid damaging the compressor.
