Frequently Asked Questions
My AC is blowing warm air. What should I do first?
The first thing to check is your air filter. A dirty filter is a common culprit for warm air, as it restricts airflow. If that's not it, make sure your thermostat is set to 'cool' and not just 'fan.' Sometimes, people accidentally bump it. If those don't fix it, it's probably time to give us a call so we can diagnose the real problem.
How often should I have my AC serviced in Lake Oswego?
Given our local climate and the amount of pollen and dust we experience, we generally recommend getting your AC serviced once a year, ideally in the spring before you start relying on it heavily. This can prevent most common issues and keep your system running efficiently all summer long.
Is it worth repairing an older AC unit, or should I just replace it?
That's a great question and it really depends on the specific situation. If your unit is more than 10-15 years old and the repair is a major one, it might be more cost-effective in the long run to replace it with a more energy-efficient model. However, for smaller issues, a repair can definitely extend the life of your current system. We can give you an honest assessment after we take a look.
My AC is making a strange noise. Should I be worried?
Unusual noises from your AC unit are definitely a red flag. Hissing, grinding, or banging sounds can indicate anything from a refrigerant leak to a failing motor. It's best to turn off your AC and call us right away to prevent further damage. Ignoring these sounds can lead to a more expensive repair down the line.
