Warm air from the vents. The blower moves air but nothing cools it. Common culprits: a dead capacitor, a tripped condenser, low refrigerant from a leak.
Short cycling. The unit starts, runs a few minutes, quits, then tries again. Hard on the compressor and on the electric bill.
Ice on the refrigerant lines. A frozen coil chokes airflow entirely. The ice is the symptom, not the problem.
Breaker trips when the unit kicks on. Often a shorted motor or a compressor drawing too much current at startup. This needs to be diagnosed before it causes more damage.
Water around the indoor unit. A clogged drain line backing up through the pan. In Texas humidity, condensate lines often clog by mid-summer.
A hum with no fan. The outdoor unit tries to start and cannot. Frequently a capacitor, sometimes a seized fan motor.
What To Expect During The Visit
On site we take the readings: capacitor, contactor, motors, refrigerant pressures, temperature split. Then you hear what failed and what the repair costs, and the decision stays in your hands.
A note on repeat repairs: if your system keeps needing service, we will tell you honestly and walk you through the repair versus replacement comparison so you can decide what makes sense for your home.
