Air conditioners can run into a variety of issues, but some problems are more common than others. Here are a few repairs Bonney sees most often:

• Refrigerant leaks – If your AC isn’t cooling properly, it could be low on refrigerant due to a leak. Our technicians will find and fix the leak before recharging the system.
• Frozen evaporator coils – A dirty air filter or restricted airflow can cause the evaporator coils to freeze, leading to warm air or poor performance. A cleaning and airflow check can resolve the issue.
• Faulty capacitors – If your AC won’t turn on or is struggling to start, a bad capacitor may be the culprit. Replacing this small but essential part is a quick and affordable fix.
• Clogged condensate drain – A blocked drain line can cause water leaks around your indoor unit. A drain line flush can clear the clog and prevent water damage.
• Malfunctioning thermostat – If your AC isn’t responding properly, a thermostat recalibration or replacement may be necessary.
• Blower motor failure – Weak airflow or no airflow at all could mean the blower motor has failed. Bonney can repair or replace the motor to restore proper circulation.

Deciding between repairing or replacing your air conditioner can depend on a few factors. Here are some key considerations to help you make an informed decision:

How much is the repair? If your repair costs are more than 50% of the cost of a new unit, it’s usually better to replace the AC. New systems are more energy-efficient, and you’ll likely save money on utilities in the long run.

How often does your AC break down? If your AC is breaking down more often or has had multiple repairs in the last few years, it may be a sign that it’s nearing the end of its lifespan. Replacing it with a new model could save you from dealing with constant issues.

Are your energy bills rising? Older units often lose their efficiency over time. If you notice a sharp increase in your energy bills, it could be a sign that your AC is struggling to keep up and needs replacing to restore energy efficiency.

Is your refrigerant up to date? If your AC is using the outdated R-22 refrigerant (which is being phased out), it may be costly to repair or recharge it. In this case, upgrading to a new system that uses R-410A refrigerant might be a more practical solution.

First, check your thermostat settings to make sure it’s set to “cool” and at the right temperature. Next, inspect your air filter—a clogged filter can restrict airflow and make your system struggle. If everything looks good, head outside to see if the outdoor unit is running. A tripped circuit breaker or blocked condenser coils could also cause the issue.

If your AC is still blowing warm air, Bonney can pinpoint the problem with a professional diagnostic. Whether it’s low refrigerant, a failing compressor, or an airflow issue, our expert technicians will find the root cause and fix it fast to get your home cool again.

Regular maintenance is the key to keeping your AC running smoothly. Here are some simple ways to reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns:

• Change your air filter every 1–3 months to maintain airflow.
• Schedule professional tune-ups at least once a year to catch small issues early.
• Keep your outdoor unit clean and free of debris for optimal performance.
• Check your thermostat settings to ensure your system isn’t overworking.
• Monitor energy bills—a sudden spike could indicate a hidden AC problem.
