Air Plus Services: Trusted HVAC Services Serving Sumter, SC 29150

This is a common issue with aging systems. Over years of hard work during our long, hot summers, components like the compressor can wear down, and refrigerant levels can drop. Dust and debris buildup on coils also reduces efficiency. Our technicians perform a comprehensive diagnostic to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a repairable issue or a sign your system is nearing the end of its service life—and provide you with honest, expert advice.

First, check your thermostat settings to ensure it's set to 'cool' and the temperature is below the current room reading. Next, check your air filter; a clogged filter is a frequent culprit and can be replaced easily. If these steps don't help, it's time to call a professional. Continuing to run a struggling AC can cause further damage. Our team at Air Plus Services offers prompt emergency diagnostics to quickly identify issues like refrigerant leaks or electrical failures common in our area's heat.

We always aim for the most cost-effective solution for you. For a system over 10-15 years old, frequent repairs can add up quickly, and older units are much less energy-efficient. We'll assess the age, repair history, and efficiency of your system. If repairs are minor and infrequent, fixing it makes sense. However, if it's a major component like the compressor or if efficiency is very low, investing in a new, energy-efficient model will save you significantly on monthly utility bills and provide more reliable cooling for Sumter's climate.
