FAQs
My outdoor AC unit in Hobart isn't cooling and the fan isn't spinning. What's wrong, and can you fix it?
This is a common issue for Hobart homeowners, especially during our hot, humid summers. A non-spinning outdoor condenser fan often points to a failed capacitor, a burnt-out motor, or electrical problems. Our HVAC-certified technicians, trained at Ivy Tech, are experienced in diagnosing and repairing these specific failures. We'll safely troubleshoot the unit, explain the issue clearly, and provide a repair or replacement option to get your cooling restored efficiently, helping you avoid a complete system breakdown.
Do you handle both electrical panel upgrades and installing new appliances?
Absolutely. As a full-service electrical and handyman provider, we can manage the entire project. For example, if you're adding a new electric range or dryer that requires a dedicated circuit, we can first assess and upgrade your electrical panel if needed to ensure it can safely handle the new load. Then, we'll professionally install the new circuit, outlet, and the appliance itself. This integrated approach, backed by our residential wiring certifications, ensures the job is done safely and to code from start to finish.
You started as a handyman service. Do you still do smaller repair jobs?
Yes, we absolutely do. Our roots are in hands-on, practical repairs, and we continue to value those smaller jobs that keep a home running smoothly. Whether it's repairing a doorbell, fixing a loose light fixture, or addressing minor property maintenance issues—including Section 8 violation repairs—we bring the same professional care and attention to detail as we do to larger projects. No job is too small for our team of qualified technicians.
