HVAC Services Elizabeth NJ | Call North Ave Plumbing and Heating

In many Elizabeth homes, the condensate drain line from your air conditioner ties into the home's plumbing. If this line clogs, it can cause the AC unit to shut off as a safety measure, stopping cooling entirely. Our plumbing inspection includes checking and clearing this critical drain line, which is a common fix for ACs not cooling during our humid summers.

Elizabeth's coastal location leads to consistently high humidity levels. This forces your AC to work much harder to remove moisture from the air, reducing its cooling efficiency and lifespan. We address this by ensuring your system is properly sized, checking refrigerant levels, and inspecting components like the evaporator coil during our service. Sometimes, we may recommend supplemental solutions like a whole-house dehumidifier for optimal comfort.

First, check your thermostat settings to ensure it's on 'cool' and set below the room temperature. Next, check the circuit breaker and your outdoor unit's disconnect switch to ensure power is on. If these are fine, a common local issue is a clogged air filter or a frozen evaporator coil—both often caused by restricted airflow in our dusty, humid climate. If simple checks don't work, call us. We can perform a full system inspection to quickly diagnose issues like refrigerant leaks or compressor problems.
