Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Wilmington AC unit keep turning on and off (short cycling), and how can Ace Air help?

Short cycling is a common issue here in Wilmington, often caused by an oversized unit, refrigerant leaks, a dirty air filter, or a faulty thermostat. This constant starting and stopping wastes energy and wears out components. Ace Air's technicians will perform a thorough diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause—checking refrigerant levels, calibrating your thermostat, and assessing your system's sizing. We then provide the expert repair needed to restore normal, efficient operation and prevent further damage to your compressor.

My AC fan isn't spinning. Is this likely a capacitor problem, and can you fix it?

Yes, a non-spinning outdoor fan is a classic sign of a failed capacitor, especially during our demanding Wilmington summers. The capacitor provides the necessary jolt of electricity to start the fan and compressor motors. Ace Air carries a wide range of capacitors on our service vehicles. Our certified technicians can safely test your system's capacitors and replace a faulty one on the spot, often getting your cooling restored during the same service call.

What preventative maintenance do you recommend to avoid common AC failures in our climate?

To combat Wilmington's heat and humidity, we recommend a professional tune-up each spring. Our Ace Air Precision Tune-up includes cleaning condenser coils, checking refrigerant levels, tightening electrical connections, testing capacitors and contactors, and ensuring the thermostat is accurate. This proactive service catches small issues—like a weakening capacitor—before they lead to a complete breakdown on the hottest day of the year, saving you money and ensuring reliable comfort all season.
