Signs your cooling system needs attention
You don't need to diagnose it yourself — but knowing what you're seeing makes the call easier.
It runs but the house never gets cool
Could be refrigerant, airflow, a failing compressor or a system that was undersized from day one.
Warm air from the vents
Usually a refrigerant or component failure — worth catching before it takes the compressor with it.
Water around the indoor unit
A clogged condensate drain is cheap to fix now and expensive after it soaks a ceiling.
The outdoor unit hums but the fan doesn't spin
Classic capacitor or motor fault. Common, and usually a same-visit repair.
Humidity that won't come down
An oversized system cools fast and never dehumidifies. Sizing matters more than tonnage.
Ice on the refrigerant lines
Stop running it and call — it's a symptom of airflow or refrigerant trouble, not a cooling bonus.

Repair or replace?
Air conditioning tends to give you warning. If a system is under about twelve years old and the failure is a capacitor, contactor, fan motor or drain, repair is almost always the right call.
Past fifteen years — especially with a compressor failure or a system still running older refrigerant — you're usually better off replacing than pouring money into it. We'll walk the house, tell you what's actually there, and give you a free consultation on replacement so you can decide with real numbers.
