Don't Wait to Schedule These AC Repairs!
An early spring inspection and tune-up can prepare your cooling system for use and alert you to potential problems. Even so, your AC might experience a malfunction anytime throughout the spring and summer. Your ability to recognize minor problems early will help you schedule repairs before the system suffers a serious breakdown.
Frozen or Icy Condenser Coils
You may need to schedule AC repair in Longwood, FL, if you notice that the condenser coils repeatedly freeze or develop ice. Since the outdoor condenser unit contains these coils, it can be easy to overlook the cause of the problem. If the unit stops functioning, check the compressor to see if the coils look icy.
Using the AC when the outdoor temperature is too cool can cause the condenser coils to freeze. Alternatively, a refrigerant leak, malfunctioning blower motor, or inhibited airflow can cause the coils to collect moisture and freeze.
Schedule Immediate AC Repair in Longwood, FL, for a Clicking Compressor
A failing compressor makes a soft clicking noise, which can be easy to miss until it’s too late. If you notice a clicking sound at the start of a cycle, the start capacitor is failing. The run capacitor is failing if the clicking sound continues as the cycle runs. If either capacitor fails before you get AC repairs, you’ll lose the use of your AC system.
Leaking Refrigerant
Even though you know to schedule AC repair in Longwood, FL, for a refrigerant leak, you may not immediately notice this problem. Look for moisture around the compressor. Aside from visibly observing a leak, other clues can indicate low refrigerant.

Watch for unexplained increases in energy usage and poor or ineffective cooling. Additionally, the coils in the indoor unit may freeze repetitively, preventing you from using the air conditioner for longer than a few minutes.
