This sounds like an overheated compressor, a very common issue in Yuma's intense heat. It can be caused by low refrigerant, a failing capacitor, poor airflow, or the unit itself being overworked. APS technicians will perform a thorough diagnosis to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it needs a simple capacitor replacement, a refrigerant recharge, or a compressor repair—to get your cooling restored quickly and prevent further damage.

Yes, a refrigerant leak is a likely culprit, especially in older systems exposed to our extreme temperature swings. When refrigerant levels are low, your AC has to work much harder to produce less cool air, drastically reducing efficiency and performance. APS uses specialized tools to locate and repair leaks, then precisely recharge your system to the manufacturer's specifications, ensuring optimal cooling power and efficiency for your home.

Any issue that causes a complete loss of cooling or poses a safety risk, like a tripped breaker or a burning smell, requires immediate attention. However, a refrigerant leak or a struggling compressor are among the most urgent 'performance' issues. Letting them continue can lead to a total system failure on the hottest day and cause much more expensive damage. APS offers prompt service to address these critical repairs, helping you avoid a breakdown and higher energy bills.
