Frequently Asked Questions
My AC is blowing warm air. What’s the first thing I should check before calling you?
Good question! Before giving us a call, take a quick peek at your air filter. A clogged filter is a really common culprit for warm air and restricted airflow. Also, make sure your outdoor unit isn't completely caked with leaves or debris – sometimes clearing that away can make a difference. If those don't do the trick, then it's time to bring in the pros.
How often should I have my AC serviced in Milwaukie?
For most homes here in Milwaukie, especially with our variable weather, we recommend a professional tune-up at least once a year, ideally in the spring before the summer heat kicks in. Regular maintenance can catch small issues before they become big, expensive problems, and it helps keep your unit running efficiently, which saves you money on your energy bills.
My AC unit is making a strange noise. Should I be worried?
Definitely don't ignore strange noises! Squealing, grinding, or banging can indicate a number of issues, from a failing motor bearing to a loose component. Continuing to run it with an unusual noise could lead to more significant damage. It's best to turn off your unit and give us a call so we can diagnose it safely and accurately.
How long does a typical AC repair take?
The duration of an AC repair really depends on the issue. A simple fix, like replacing a capacitor or clearing a clogged drain line, might take an hour or two. More complex problems, like a refrigerant leak or compressor replacement, could take longer and might require a parts order. We always aim to get your AC back up and running as quickly as possible, and we'll give you an honest time estimate once we've diagnosed the problem.
