Columbus 5 Star Rated AC Repair

Skilled air conditioner repair professionals know their way around all types of residential AC systems. Their AC repair training and experience include legacy systems that amazingly are still working after decades. They also know highly efficient modern units which use significantly less energy to cool. No matter what your home in Columbus has, they’ll trace the problem. Tools include electrical test equipment, refrigerant sniffers, airflow gauges, and other equipment to pinpoint malfunctions.

Watch out for these signs that your air conditioner needs repair:
  • Increasing energy use for unknown reasons
  • Unusual sounds or smells, and leaks
  • Changing the thermostat doesn’t start cooling
  • Airflow is warm or nearly nonexistent

Sometimes, the apparent issue with your AC is only a symptom, but our technicians know how to keep looking for the answer. One AC repair example is a loss of cooling and even airflow due to icing on the evaporator coils. The ice can build up when airflow problems develop somewhere else, from a failed fan motor or belt, or even a clogged air filter. Once the warm air stops flowing through to be cooled, moisture just freezes instead of draining away. Melting the ice by itself wouldn’t solve the problem, and it would return in the next day or so.

You can see why air conditioner repair skills are dependent on experience as well as training. The top technicians have seen how the systems are interconnected and can affect each other when problems arise. When we get to work, you’ll see how their process is almost intuitive. It’s a product of years of developing an understanding of AC equipment.

If your AC repair issues involve different cooling results in different rooms, your ductwork, intakes, and vents may need investigating. Some types of ducts degrade over time and you may have a leak or broken ductwork, losing pressure. Diverters called dampers inside the ductwork may be set wrong, or malfunctioning if they’re automatic. Your home might have a zoned ductwork system where cool air is distributed separately to different areas. The technician will diagnose based on that configuration. Whatever it takes to fix it, you’ll be cool and confident in your AC when they’re done.

Common AC Issues

Air conditioners are generally reliable and can go for many years without trouble. The better they’’re maintained, usually the fewer problems they have. Major repairs can be delayed until later in a unit’s life. Nonetheless, we see many common issues that warrant AC repair in Columbus, OH, including the following:

  • The AC Stops Working: An air conditioner can shut off because the thermostat isn’t working. Replacing the batteries or adjusting the fan or temperature settings can help. Check if a circuit breaker tripped or if the AC unit’s switch was turned off. If adjusting the thermostat or switching the system on doesn’t work, call Apex Pros for help.
  • Uneven Cooling: When some rooms are too cool and others much warmer, check for blocked vents. All registers should be open and unobstructed. If temperatures are still uneven, you may have a duct leak. Our team can inspect and seal your ductwork to resolve the problem.
  • Warm Instead of Cool Air: If the fan is running but the AC isn’t on, the system may circulate warm air. Setting the fan to “Auto” can prevent this. However, warm air can also enter from damaged ducts or be caused by a low refrigerant level, so contact us if you can’t find an obvious reason.
  • Noisy AC: A screeching air conditioner may have a worn belt or motor bearing. Loose parts can cause rattling or buzzing noises, while a repeating clicking sound can mean the unit has a faulty relay. If you hear a screaming noise for several seconds after startup, there may be a compressor issue.
  • Malfunctioning Fan: An issue with the indoor blower fan may be easier to identify. However, the condenser fan is outside, so you may not hear it. The system can overheat if this fan stops working. You can try turning the unit off and waiting for it to cool down. If the issue happens again, call an AC repair contractor.
  • Frozen Coil: If the evaporator or condenser coil freezes, it may be obstructed or dirty. Issues that reduce airflow, such as a dirty filter, can also freeze an AC coil. Significant damage can occur unless the underlying issue is resolved quickly. Our technicians can repair or replace a coil or address any other reason it’s freezing up.
