Expert AC Repair in Clifton Park
It’s most common to experience air conditioner trouble during summer, especially during periods of intense heat. Unfortunately, that’s also the worst time to be without heat! You can try to avoid having your air conditioner break down suddenly by paying attention to warning signs. Usually, your AC will give you hints that something isn’t right, which gives you a small window of time to act before the inevitable breakdown.
Here are some red flags that your air conditioner needs AC repair:
- Room temperature air
- Low airflow
- Can’t turn off or on
- Leaks or puddles
- Loud noise or unusual smells

We have the tools and experience to work on all makes, models, and brands of air conditioners. No matter the problem, our technicians will have your AC up and running again in no time!
Common AC Problems
Air conditioners can malfunction or stop working for all sorts of reasons. Whether your problem is one of those listed below or something else, our AC techs will diagnose and fix it.
Refrigerant Leaks
If there’s a refrigerant leak in your cooling system, refrigerant levels will drop, and your air conditioner will no longer cool efficiently. When your AC unit works non-stop but fails to reach your set temperature, a refrigerant leak is the most likely culprit.
Control Failures
Your air conditioner’s fan controls and compressor may wear out. This often happens with oversized systems that keep turning on and off. Terminals and wires may also corrode and cause electrical issues.
Sensor Issues
AC units in individual rooms have thermostat sensors behind the control panels. If these sensors move out of position, your unit could start working erratically or cycle all the time.
Blocked Airflow
When your AC filters and coils grow dirty, the buildup will restrict airflow, and your AC won’t cool or heat properly. Your air conditioner’s fans or compressor may work extra hard to overcompensate and eventually fail.
Drainage Problems
Dust, dirt, or algae could clog your drain pipeline, leading to mold and mildew problems and foul odors in your home. A drainage problem may also be due to faulty AC unit mounting.
