A malfunctioning air conditioner can make your home uncomfortable, especially during New Jersey’s hot and humid summers.

Our experienced technicians diagnose and repair a wide range of air conditioning issues, ensuring your home stays cool and comfortable.
Signs Your AC Needs to Be Repaired
Air conditioners often show warning signs before they completely stop working. If you notice any of the following issues, it may be time to schedule a repair:
- Warm Air: If your AC is running but only blowing warm or slightly cool air, there could be a refrigerant issue or a problem with the compressor
- Weak Airflow: A clogged filter, ductwork issue, or failing blower motor can restrict airflow, making your system inefficient
- Frequent Cycling: If your AC turns on and off too frequently, it may struggle to regulate temperature due to an electrical issue or a failing thermostat
- Unusual Noises: Grinding, banging, or squealing sounds may indicate mechanical issues such as loose components or a worn-out belt
- Leaks or Moisture Around the Unit: Water pooling around your AC unit could be a sign of a clogged condensate drain or a refrigerant leak
- Higher Energy Bills: A sudden increase in energy costs could mean your air conditioner is working harder than usual to cool your home
- Unresponsive Thermostat: If adjusting the thermostat has no effect on the temperature, there could be a problem with the sensor or electrical connections
Addressing these issues early can prevent more serious breakdowns and costly repairs. Check out our infographic for some quick tips to save energy.
Common Components That Need to Be Repaired
Several key components in your air conditioning system may require repairs over time. Some of the most serviced parts include:
- Compressor: The heart of your AC system, responsible for circulating refrigerant. A failing compressor can prevent your unit from cooling properly
- Capacitors: These components help start and run the motor. A faulty capacitor can cause your AC to have trouble turning on
- Evaporator Coils: If these coils freeze over, airflow is restricted, and cooling efficiency decreases
- Condenser Coils: Dirt and debris buildup on these coils can make your AC work harder, leading to overheating
- Blower Motor: Responsible for pushing air through your ductwork, a failing blower motor can reduce air flow and comfort
- Refrigerant Lines: Leaks in the refrigerant lines can cause a decline in cooling performance and may require professional repair
- Thermostat Sensors: If these sensors malfunction, they can cause temperature fluctuations or improper cycling
Regular maintenance can help extend the life of these components and reduce the risk of unexpected repairs.
