AC Repair Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my indoor AC coil/pipes/compressor covered with ice?
A frozen indoor coil means the refrigerant level is low or the air filter is clogged. In either case, the coil will get colder and colder until the condensation on the coil turns to ice. This can be harmful to the AC and is a common cause of bad compressors.
If this happens, turn the system off and check the air filter. If the filter isn’t clogged, the AC probably needs service.
Does my air conditioner use Freon? Is Freon illegal?
The current law prevents the use of R-22 in new systems after 2010. The law also caps production of R-22 and will result in higher prices as supply tightens. R-22 should be available to service your AC for a long time to come.
What can be done to fix hot spots in my house?
Temperature variations from room to room result when ductwork is incorrectly sized. In some cases, we can rework the duct system to improve airflow. Another solution may be to replace the windows in a hot room with low-E glass or have your windows tinted. The reduced sun load will cool the room and save energy.
My AC has a bad compressor. Should I repair it or just get a new AC?
Compressors fail for a number of reasons. One of the most common is burnout. In this situation, acid and burnt varnish are distributed throughout the system, contaminating the indoor and outdoor coils and the refrigerant piping. This acidic oil is difficult and costly to clean and will contaminate and shorten the life of the new compressor.
In a burnout situation, we recommend replacing the entire AC (indoor, outdoor, and piping) to ensure a long system life and reliability of the new system. If the compressor failure is due to broken valves, a lightning strike, etc., compressor replacement is a feasible option.
A homeowner should then consider the current age of the system, the energy saved by a new high-efficiency AC, and the benefits of a new system warranty.
What’s the difference between a heat pump and a mini-split?
The main difference is that the mini-split does not use ductwork. Each indoor unit is installed in the space you want heated or cooled, and you can add more indoor units if you make additions to your home or business. Each indoor unit contains a fan to control the airflow within its own space, making it a good option for homeowners who only want a few rooms cooled or heated.
A conventional heat pump places the indoor unit (air coil) inside the ductwork, typically downstream from an existing furnace, if you have one. The mini-split uses no ductwork at all, and is therefore more energy-efficient since no air gets trapped in the ducts.
How does geothermal cooling work?
Geothermal cooling uses the temperature of the earth to cool your home. The upper 10 feet of the earth’s surface holds a stable temperature between 50 and 61 degrees F. Coils are buried underground to draw heat energy out of it and transfer the cool temperatures into a warmer area.
There are two methods geothermal cooling can use to cool a home — water-to-air systems or water-to-water systems. Water-to-air systems replace your central AC by using a liquid coolant to transfer the energy into the air that can then be transferred into cooler air.
Water-to-water systems use liquid spread throughout the building in pipes, keeping the area at a stable temperature.
Should I get a central AC or a ductless system?
It all depends on the structure of your home, your location, and your personal needs. If you have an older home, you may not be able to install extensive ductwork, so a ductless system may work best.
If half your family likes their bedroom cool while the other half likes it hot, you may want to use mini-splits so each room can be set to a different temperature. If you have a newer, larger home, a central AC may be the most efficient option.
