Common AC Problems We Diagnose and Repair Every Day
Most AC problems get worse fast during a Salt Lake City summer. The signs are usually the same: warm air from the vents, ice on the lines, water on the floor, or a system that won’t even turn on. Below are the issues we get called for most often, similar to the furnace repair calls we handle in winter, just on the cooling side. If you’re seeing any of these, give us a call before the next heatwave hits.
AC Not Cooling
Your air conditioner runs but your home stays warm. This could point to low refrigerant, a dirty condenser coil, compressor issues, or airflow problems. We check the entire system to find exactly what is causing the failure.
AC Blowing Warm Air
Cold air should come out but it feels warm or room temperature instead. Common causes include refrigerant leaks, frozen evaporator coils, or compressor problems. We troubleshoot the full system to identify the root cause.
AC Running Constantly
An air conditioner that never shuts off wastes energy and wears out faster. Causes include low refrigerant, dirty coils, thermostat issues, or an undersized unit. We identify why your system keeps running and restore normal cycles.
Strange AC Noises
Grinding, squealing, banging, or buzzing sounds from your air conditioner mean something needs attention. Fan motors, compressors, loose parts, or refrigerant issues create different noises. We pinpoint the source and stop it before bigger damage happens.
AC Won't Turn On
Power issues, tripped breakers, faulty thermostats, or a failed capacitor can stop your AC from starting at all. Before we send a technician, check that your thermostat is set to cool and your breaker is on. If both look fine and the unit still won't start, we test the capacitor, contactor, and control board to find what's stopping it.
Frozen Evaporator Coil
Ice on your AC lines or indoor coil means something is blocking proper airflow or refrigerant is running low. Frozen coils stop cooling completely and can damage the compressor if you keep running the system. Turn off the AC, let it thaw, and call us to find why it froze in the first place.
AC Leaking Water
Water around your indoor AC unit usually points to a clogged condensate drain line, cracked drain pan, or a frozen evaporator coil thawing out. Left alone, this leads to water damage, mold growth, and bigger repair bills. We clear blockages, replace damaged parts, and prevent it from happening again.
Refrigerant Leak
Low refrigerant means your AC can't cool properly, runs constantly, and may freeze up. Simply adding more refrigerant isn't a fix because the leak will return. We locate the leak, repair it properly, and recharge the system to manufacturer specs with the correct refrigerant type (R-410A or R-22 for older units).
Full AC Diagnostic: We Check the Entire System, Not Just Symptoms
Some companies look at the obvious symptom and guess at the fix. We take a different approach. Our NATE certified technicians run a complete diagnostic on your air conditioning system. Every component that could cause problems gets checked. This means we catch the real issue the first time, not after multiple return visits, and helps us decide whether AC replacement makes more sense when systems are too far gone for cost-effective repair.
You get an accurate diagnosis and a repair that actually solves the problem.
- Refrigerant levels and inspection for leaks in the sealed system
- Condenser coil condition and cleaning for proper heat transfer outside
- Evaporator coil inspection for ice buildup or dirt accumulation
- Compressor operation, amp draw, and overall performance testing
- Electrical connections, capacitors, contactors, and control board function
- Thermostat calibration and communication with your cooling system
- Airflow restrictions and filter condition, which regular AC maintenance prevents in the first place

Customer Stories
How much does AC repair typically cost?
Most air conditioning repairs run between $150 and $600, depending on the problem and parts needed. We provide exact pricing after diagnosis, before any work starts.
Why is my AC running but not cooling the house?
Common causes include low refrigerant, dirty coils, a failing compressor, or airflow restrictions. We test each component to find exactly what is causing the problem.
Can you repair older air conditioners or just newer models?
We repair air conditioners of all ages. If parts are available, we can fix it. If your AC is too old for cost effective repair, we will let you know honestly.
How long does an AC repair appointment take?
Most repairs take one to two hours once we diagnose the issue. Complex problems or special order parts may require a follow up visit to complete.
Is it worth repairing a 12 year old air conditioner?
It depends on the repair cost. Use the $5000 rule. Multiply age by repair cost. Over $5000 suggests replacement. Under that amount, repair usually makes sense.
Do you charge a fee just to come look at my AC?
Yes, we charge a diagnostic fee that covers travel and full system assessment. If you approve the repair, that fee applies toward your total cost.
My AC is leaking water inside my house. What is wrong?
Water leaks usually indicate a clogged condensate drain line, frozen evaporator coil, or damaged drain pan. We can diagnose and fix the source of the leak.
What brands of air conditioners do you repair?
All major brands. Carrier, Lennox, Trane, Goodman, Rheem, Bryant, American Standard, York, Amana, and more. Whatever you have, we can work on it.
