Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my air conditioner suddenly stop cooling on the hottest day in Tampa?
This is a common issue in our Tampa heat, often caused by a failed electrical capacitor, a frozen evaporator coil from restricted airflow, or the compressor overheating. Our technicians quickly diagnose the root cause—whether it's a simple capacitor replacement or a more complex refrigerant issue—to get your cool air flowing again as soon as possible.
What is an AC capacitor, and why does it fail so often during Florida summers?
The capacitor is a small, cylindrical component that helps start your AC's motor and compressor. During Tampa's intense summer heat, your system runs constantly, causing the capacitor to overheat and fail under the heavy electrical load. We carry a wide range of capacitors and can replace a failed one promptly, which is often a more affordable repair than many homeowners expect.
My AC is running but not cooling well. What should I check before I call for service?
First, check your air filter—a dirty filter is the most common cause of reduced cooling. Also, ensure all vents are open and unblocked, and that the outdoor unit isn't clogged with leaves or debris. If these are clear and the problem persists, it's time to call us. It could indicate a refrigerant leak, a failing component, or another issue that needs a professional diagnosis to prevent further damage.
