A&B Heating and Cooling | Trusted HVAC Repair in Platteville, CO

Yes, AC compressor failure is a common issue in our area, especially during peak summer strain. The compressor is the heart of your cooling system. If it fails, your unit may blow warm air or not turn on at all. Don't ignore it, as running a system with a failing compressor can cause further damage. Our technicians can quickly diagnose the problem and provide an honest assessment on whether a repair or replacement is the most cost-effective solution for your home.

A rattling or grinding noise from your air handler often indicates a problem with the blower fan assembly, another frequent repair we see in Platteville homes. This could be a loose component, a worn-out motor bearing, or debris in the blower wheel. It's important to address this quickly to prevent the fan motor from burning out completely, which leads to no heat or AC. We recommend turning off the system and giving us a call. Our team can safely inspect, clean, and repair the fan to restore quiet, efficient operation.

Proactive maintenance is key. Colorado's temperature swings and dust can put extra stress on your system. We recommend a bi-annual professional tune-up—once in spring for your AC and once in fall for your furnace. Our maintenance service includes cleaning critical components like the condenser and evaporator coils, checking refrigerant levels, tightening electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, and testing the blower fan motor. This not only helps prevent compressor and fan failures but also improves efficiency and extends the life of your equipment, saving you money in the long run.
