FAQ

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

There are a lot of problems that can cause your AC to run without cooling your home. These issues include:

  • Clogged air filters
  • Frozen evaporator coils
  • A thermostat that isn’t properly calibrated
  • A blocked condenser unit
  • A refrigerant leak
  • An improperly sized air conditioner

Our technicians can help you assess which of these problems—or other problems—are causing your air conditioner to run without cooling your home. We’ll then tell you how much it might cost to repair the problem, and whether repair or replacement is the best move. 

What are the most common AC repairs?

Here are some of the most common AC repairs:

  • Unclogging condensate drain lines
  • Fixing refrigerant leaks
  • Replacing faulty capacitors
  • Fixing blown fuses
  • Unfreezing evaporator coils

While these are the most common repairs, they’re not the most common problems. The most common problems are the easy fixes—a thermostat that isn’t set properly or a dirty air filter. Checking these can help you fix your air conditioner yourself and avoid the cost of a service call. 

How often should an AC system be serviced in Winnipeg?

We highly recommend servicing your AC system at least once a year, usually in the spring before the summer rush or in the fall after the peak season is over. Doing this can help you catch problems before they get worse and you need full-blown repairs. Regular maintenance will also extend the lifespan of your air conditioner and lower your monthly energy bills because maintenance helps prevent wear and tear and keeps everything running smoothly. 

What steps should I take before calling someone for AC repairs?

Here’s how you can troubleshoot issues before you call anyone:

  • Check your thermostat. Make sure it’s powered and set to cool, and that you’ve selected the right temperature. Thermostats can also swap from Celsius to Fahrenheit—that’s usually pretty noticeable, but it’s also worth checking just in case.
  • Check your air filters. Dirty air filters impede airflow, and that stops your air conditioner from being able to distribute cold air evenly throughout your home.
  • Check your registers and grilles—the endpoints of your vents. When these are closed or partially closed, cold air gets trapped. 
  • Keep the doors inside your home open; if they’re closed, air will get trapped in individual rooms and might not circulate through the residence.
  • Clear the area around your compressor—the outside unit. Airflow is essential around your outdoor unit, so you should have at least 3 feet / 91 cm of clearance around it.
  • Check your circuit breaker—if it’s tripped, try turning it back on.

These are just a few of the steps you can take before calling—by checking first, you can avoid service fees. 

Is it worth it to repair my air conditioner?

Whether or not it’s worth it to repair your air conditioner depends on a number of factors, including:

  • The cost of repairs
  • How frequently you’ll need repairs in the future
  • The age of your air conditioner
  • The rebates available for a new air conditioner
  • The monthly savings you could get from a more energy-efficient air conditioner
  • And more

There are always times when repairs are best and times when replacements are best. Typically, if an air conditioner is 15 years old or older, you’re looking at replacement instead of repairs—but not always! That’s why it’s important to have a technician you trust to diagnose the problem and give you an honest assessment. 

What does it cost to service an air conditioner in Winnipeg?

While we can’t give you an exact price for our services here, we encourage you to give us a call; over the phone, we can give you an exact price for servicing your air conditioner as part of your annual maintenance.
