Aire Serv Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Let’s address some of your frequently asked questions about our air conditioner repair service.
What should I do to prepare for an air conditioner repair appointment?
As you prepare for air conditioner repair service, the following precautions will make it easier for you and the service professional:
- Ensure easy access to the air conditioner unit and air vents.
- Pull any weeds and remove obstructions from around the outside equipment.
- Clear your schedule for the repairs needed.
- Provide any previous A/C repair service records.
- Keep pets away from the repair area.
- Be aware of fees and payment options.
What should I expect during an air conditioner repair appointment?
When you schedule A/C repair services, your Aire Serv service professional will arrive on time, in uniform, driving a marked and branded vehicle, and using on-the-way alerts. During the service call, they will:
- Check the refrigerant levels.
- Ensure the air condenser fan rotates freely.
- Replace the air filter.
- Verify that the size of the air conditioner unit meets your needs.
- Check all the wiring, electronics, hoses, and safety controls.
- Make the repairs.

- Clean up any debris or mess before leaving.
How much does it cost to repair an air conditioner?
Unfortunately, we cannot guess how much your air conditioner repair service will cost. The cost depends upon a few factors:
- What type of air conditioner you have
- What the problem is
- Whether your equipment is under warranty
We can tell you that air conditioner repair service is usually far less expensive than replacement. Our service professional will be happy to answer all your questions to help you weigh the pros and cons of repair or replacement for your specific equipment and needs.
How long does it take to repair an air conditioner?
How long your air conditioning repair service will take depends upon how much work is needed. Replenishing the refrigerant and tuning up the system takes a couple of hours. But repairing a broken compressor can take most of the day. We promise to be respectful of your time.
Why Is My AC Not Working?
We cannot know why your A/C isn’t working until we see and test it. Common causes our Aire Serv service professionals find on air conditioner repair service visits include:
- There’s no power to the air conditioner. An air conditioner may lose power due to faulty wiring, a tripped breaker, or an automatic shutoff from overheating. An air conditioner service professional can repair the wiring, reset the circuit breaker, and ensure vegetation isn't blocking airflow to the outdoor unit.
- The fan belt is worn out. When a fan belt is wearing out, you are likely to hear a squealing sound. If the fan belt snaps, repairs could end up being far more expensive than replacing it.
- There is a refrigerant leak. When refrigerant leaks, you will probably hear a hissing sound. Leaking decreases efficiency and is bad for the environment. A trained service professional will not only recharge the AC system but also replace the tubing.
- The evaporator coil is frozen. An evaporator coil may freeze for many reasons, including continual operation at night, a low refrigerant level, and poor circulation. When the evaporator coil freezes, the air exiting registers will feel warm. It's best to turn off the air conditioner and contact a professional to make the necessary repairs.
- The fan motor is defective. A defective fan motor can prevent air circulation in your home. Repairs may be possible, or the motor may need to be replaced.
- The compressor is defective. When the compressor isn’t working correctly, the air will feel warm even when the fan is running. The compressor is one of the most expensive components of an air conditioning system. Speak with your service professional about whether a replacement is more cost-effective than repairs.
- The condensate drain is clogged. Algae, dirt, insect nests, and other debris may clog the condensate drain over time, causing water damage. An air conditioning repair professional can help prevent future clogs by flushing the system and applying an algaecide.
When the thermostat is rising and your air conditioner isn’t cutting it, you need fast, professional home air conditioner repair.
Should I Repair or Replace My Air Conditioner?
When recommending that customers repair or replace their AC units, we consider three key factors:
- Age: If your AC is more than ten years old and giving you trouble, it may be in your best interest to consider a replacement.
- Investment cost: Would a new system be a better investment in the long run? An HVAC service professional can help calculate your return on investment so you can decide whether an upgrade would be a better choice than repairs.
- Utility rates: Replacing your unit with a more efficient one that consumes less electricity could save you big time on energy bills.
