We don’t often spend a lot of time thinking about our cooling systems, until they stop working or start costing us a ton. At JM we understand that your family’s comfort and the cost to keep them that way is a major concern.
COOLING FAQs
How often should I service or tune up my air conditioner?
We recommend an AC tune-up once a year, preferably in the spring before the hot weather hits. This service helps lower summer energy bills and prevents surprise breakdowns.
How can I prepare my air conditioner for summer?
The most important steps are to clean or replace your air filter and clear any debris from around the outdoor condenser unit. You should also test the thermostat and schedule a professional tune-up to check refrigerant levels and electrical connections.
My AC is running but not cooling—what now?
First, shut off the system and check the air filter for clogs. If that doesn't fix it, the issue could be low refrigerant, a frozen coil, or a faulty capacitor. You should call a professional to diagnose and fix it.
Why is my AC unit freezing up or leaking water?
The most common reason is insufficient airflow, usually caused by a dirty air filter or a clogged evaporator coil. Other causes include low refrigerant or blower fan problems. The water leakage is often a result of the ice melting and overflowing the drain pan.
