Questions and Answers
My AC isn't cooling well and I'm worried about a refrigerant leak, a common issue here. What should I do?
A drop in cooling power is a key sign of a potential refrigerant leak. It's important to address this quickly, as low refrigerant can damage your compressor. First, check for ice on the refrigerant lines at your outdoor unit. If you see any, turn the system off and call us. Our HVAC technicians will perform a thorough inspection, locate any leaks using specialized tools, and perform a safe, EPA-compliant repair and recharge to restore your system's efficiency and protect your investment.
What's involved in your HVAC system maintenance, and how can it prevent air handler fan failures?
Our preventative maintenance service is designed to catch issues like impending fan motor failure before they leave you without air conditioning. We thoroughly clean the air handler cabinet and blower assembly, check the motor's electrical connections and amperage, lubricate bearings if needed, and ensure the fan belt (if present) is in good condition. This proactive care reduces strain on the motor, improves airflow, and can significantly extend the life of your entire system, helping you avoid unexpected breakdowns during our hot, humid summers.
If my air handler fan fails, can you handle the electrical repair and installation of a new unit?
Absolutely. As a licensed electrical and HVAC contractor, Lumec is uniquely equipped to handle the entire job. We'll safely disconnect power at your electric panel, diagnose whether the issue is with the motor, capacitor, or wiring, and perform the necessary repair. If a full air handler replacement is needed, our team manages everything—from the proper electrical disconnect and new circuit wiring to the precise installation and calibration of the new unit—ensuring a seamless, code-compliant, and efficient solution under one roof.
