Common Questions

My AC just stopped blowing cold air on a hot Winston-Salem day. What's the most likely cause?

In the Piedmont Triad's summer heat, a sudden loss of cooling is often due to a failed capacitor—a common and critical component that helps your AC's motors start and run. This is a frequent repair we handle for local homeowners. While other issues like refrigerant leaks or compressor problems are possible, a faulty capacitor is a top suspect our technicians can quickly diagnose and replace to restore your cool air.

What should I do if my air conditioner is running but not cooling my house effectively during a heatwave?

First, check and replace your air filter if it's dirty, as restricted airflow is a common culprit. If that doesn't help, it could indicate issues like low refrigerant, a failing compressor, or a problem with the outdoor coil being blocked by debris. Given our local high humidity, an underperforming AC also struggles to remove moisture, making your home feel muggy. We recommend scheduling a diagnostic service so we can pinpoint the exact issue and restore both your comfort and your system's efficiency.

How quickly can you typically respond to an emergency AC repair call in Winston-Salem?
